Summary of hydrogeologic, water-quality, and biologic data from two small basins, Southeast Hillsborough County, Florida

Abstract

As part of a study to determine the environmental changes that might result from mining and reclamation, hydro logic, geologic, and biologic data were collected at two sites in southeast Hillsborough County between July 1983 and September 1986. Data were collected at the test basin at the Big Four mine before mining and following partial reclamation. Data also were collected at a nearby, unmined basin at the Lonesome mine. A summary of the data, which include rainfall, streamflow, ground-water levels, geologic data, physical and chemical data on soils, surface-water and ground-water quality, and biologic data, is presented.
