| Abstract | The findings of an eight-day field survey of stream conditions in the San Juan River below Shiprock, New Mexico, are reported. The survey followed a brief investigation in connection with the accidental release of a relatively large volume of highly toxic acid waste from the Kerr-McGee Oil Industries uranium mill at Shiprock in August 1960. Residual effects and long-term conditions are evaluated. Water quality conditions were evaluated on the basis of radiological, chemical, and biological data collected in the study area. |
