Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides concentrations from groundwater and soil extracts for iron (Fe), barium (Ba), strontium (Sr), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni). Groundwater analyses for pH and alkalinity are also included. Samples were collected at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site, near Bemidji MN (USA) between 2009-2019. The site is in Beltrami County, where a high-pressure pipeline carrying crude oil burst in 1979 and spilled approximately 1.7 million liters (10,700 barrels) into glacial outwash deposits. A trace element plume occurred at the site, in which concentrations of Fe, Co, Ni, Ba, and Sr were mobilized from the sediments into the groundwater. These elements are [...]

Purpose

This data release provides historical data associated with the crude-oil spill located in Beltrami County, Minnesota. The data-collection effort records the chemical concentrations of select analytes from samples collected at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site. These data obtained from samples collected from 2009 through 2019 may be used to highlight the importance of monitoring trace elements at organic-contaminated sites and their potential effects on human health.
