Soil assays were done on mud samples taken from the bottom and sides of the Creek. Sample preparation is described, followed by a discussion of the results of the analyses. Cesium measurements are given in counts per minute per cubic centimeter for liquid samples and counts per minute per gram for soil (cpm/cc and cpm/g). A diagram indicates where samples were taken.
