| Abstract | Field sampling and inorganic and organic chemical and isotopic analyses of surface and subsurface waters in the Elk River and Fording River valleys have been done as part of a hydrochemical and
hydrogeological examination of potential coalbed methane development in southeastern British Columbia. The waters sampled are characterized by low total dissolved solids and, except where contamination of production test facilities is indicated, are
essentially devoid of BTEX and PAH compounds. Isotopic analysis of aqueous carbonate species indicates that methane is probably being actively produced by microbial reactions. Tritium analyses of subsurface waters indicate that the area is
characterized by active flow systems. |
