<br />clay mineralogy for Mancos Shale core, shale resid- <br />uum, alluvium, and ground-water filter residuum are <br />listed in table 17. <br />Selenium-speciation data are listed in tables 18 <br />through 21. Concentrations of dissolved-selenium spe- <br />cies (selenate and selenite) for selected surface-water <br />and ground-water samples are listed in tables 18 and <br />19. Selenium concentrations and speciation data for <br />sequential extractions of selenium from selected bot- <br />tom-sediment and aquifer-sediment samples are listed <br />in tables 20 and 21. <br />The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation did aquifer tests <br />for hydrogeological investigations of the Grand Valley <br />during the 1970's and 1980's. Selected aquifer-test <br />results are summarized in table 22 (LX. Weston, <br />U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, written commun., 1992). <br />Trace-element concentrations in biota samples <br />are listed in tables 23 through 37. Trace-element data <br />collected in 1991 for the synoptic sampling of main- <br />stem rivers and tributaries are listed in tables 23 <br />through 31. Biota data for tributaries of the <br />Uncompahgre River are listed in tables 23 and 24, and <br />biota data for the Gunnison River and its tributaries, <br />including Crawford Reservoir, are listed in tables 25 <br />through 27. Biota data collected in 1991 in the Grand <br />Valley for tributaries of the Colorado River are listed in <br />tables 28 through 30, and biota data collected for the <br />Colorado River in 1991 are listed in table 31. Trace. <br />element data for biota samples collected from wetland <br />sites in 1991-92 are listed in tables 32 through 34. <br />Trace- element concentrations in fish samples collected <br />in 1992 from the North Fork of the Gunnison, <br />Gunnison, Uncompahgre, and Colorado Rivers are <br />listed in tables 35 through 37. <br />A limited number of biota samples were col- <br />lected for organic analyses, and the analytical results <br />are listed in tables 38 and 39. Organochlorine-pesti- <br />cide and PCB data are listed in table 38, and polycyclic <br />aromatic hydrocarbon data are listed in table 39. <br /> <br />REFERENCES <br /> <br />Barcelona, MJ., Helfrich, J.A., Garske, E.E., and Gibb, J.P., <br />1984, Laboratory evaluation of ground water sampling <br />mechanisms: Ground Water Monitoring Review, v. 4, <br />no. 2, p. 32-41. <br />Butler, D.L., Krueger, RP., Osmundson, B.C., Thompson, <br />A.L., and McCall, S.K, 1991, Reconnaissance investi. <br />gation of water quality, bottom sediment, and biota <br />associated with irrigation drainage in the Gunnison and <br />Uncompahgre River basins and at Sweitzer Lake, west- <br />central Colorado, 1988-89: U.S. Geological Survey <br />Water-Resources Investigations Report 91-4103, <br />99p. <br /> <br />Deason, J.P., 1986, Irrigation-induced contamination prob- <br />lems, in Summers, J.B., and Anderson, 8.S., eds., Toxic <br />substances in agricultural water supply and drainage- <br />Defining the problems: U.s.
