Chemical and mineralogical composition of the Lockport and Rochester formations, Smithville, Ontario / by Greg S. Bickerton. : En13-5/97-130E-PDF

"This report presents the results of a bedrock sampling program undertaken in February 1997 as part of ongoing GWRP studies at Smithville Ontario. A total of 32 samples of rock core were collected for chemical and mineralogical analysis. The samples were selected to maximize both aerial and stratigraphic coverage of the study area. The purpose of this investigation was to provide an indication of the regional distribution of rock composition for the stratigraphic units underlying the Smithville area. These data provide necessary information required to evaluate the groundwater geochemistry, regional flow and groundwater evolution in the Smithville area. In addition, the results will also assist in the interpretation of diffusion and dissolution experiments currently being conducted in related studies. The work is unique in developing techniques for effectively characterizing the geochemistry of fractured rock systems and in the detailed nature of the investigation. The results showed that three principal minerals were found in the samples provided. These minerals were dolomite, quartz and gypsum"--Management perspective.
