Radionuclide Releases - Elliot Lake closed mine sites / Direct Discharge
This dataset contains the total annual releases of radionuclides released directly to the environment through direct discharge (i.e. releases to water) from the closed mine sites near Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.Note that there is no stack emissions for the Elliot Lake.
Lake Ontario Prey Fish Trawl Data
This dataset contains Lake Ontario prey fish abundance and distribution statistics, collected every year during spring and fall bottom trawl surveys. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the U.S. Geological Survey have conducted annual, spring and fall bottom trawl surveys in U.S. waters of Lake Ontario since 1978. In 2015, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry started contributing to this program to include survey coverage in Ontario waters. The ministry also intermittently conducts mid-water trawling during the summer months on a limited geographic area largely confined to the Eastern Basin. The survey has varied sample distribution across lake depths and jurisdictions. The south shore of Lake Ontario has well-distributed coverage of depths between 8 and 200 metres. Coverage along the north shore is less uniform due to a lack of suitable trawl sites at shallower depths.
Ontario Lake Partner
Get data about the water quality for Ontario's inland lakes. The data is collected through volunteer monitoring efforts – citizen science. The [Lake Partner environment map](https://www.ontario.ca/page/map-lake-partner) The Lake Partner Program (LPP) measures water quality in inland lakes across Ontario. This dataset provides water quality and water clarity data, as well as data on the concentrations of: * total phosphorus * calcium * chloride * sulphate Spatial information for lake monitoring locations across Ontario are also available. Keywords: Lake, Water, Citizen Science, Community Science, Volunteer, Phosphorus, Calcium, Chloride, Water Clarity
Topo-bathymetric digital elevation model for Lake Ontario
Designed to represent true ground and bathymetric elevation, this digital elevation model (DEM) covers two sections of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) along the western shoreline of Lake Ontario: * Hamilton in the west to Niagara-on-the-Lake in the east * Scarborough in the west to Port Hope in the east
Canada's National Earthquake Scenario Catalogue - Rouge Beach - Magnitude 5.0
This is a magnitude 5.0 earthquake scenario under Lake Ontario, very close to Toronto. This fault is not known to be active but demonstrates a plausible earthquake scenario for Toronto region.
Bathymetry index
The attribute table included in the dataset provides some limited metadata information that is specific to each lake. This includes the: * survey year * survey method * original map scale This dataset should be used for discovery of Bathymetry data. It provides no bathymetric information, but allows users to discover where bathymetry data exists and in what format.

St. Lawrence Basin watersheds
Data includes: * The Lake Superior watershed * The Lake Huron watershed * The Lake Erie watershed * The Lake Ontario watershed * The St. Lawrence River watershed
Ontario Hydro Network - Hydrographic Point
A feature is a representation of a real world object, such as a lake, stream, dam or rapid. There are three hydrographic feature classes: points, lines and polys. All may impede or be hazardous to waterflow and/or navigation on a watercourse or waterbody. This data shows natural and manmade point features. Examples include: * waterfalls * rapids * rocks * Sea Lamprey barriers * shipwrecks This product requires the use of geographic information system (GIS) software.

Lake Water Geochemistry
This dataset represents Lake Water Geochemical Analyses for the province of Saskatchewan.This dataset represents Lake Water Geochemical Analyses for the province of Saskatchewan. During the intense level of activity directed toward the exploration for uranium in the 1970s, the Saskatchewan Geological Survey and the Geological Survey of Canada funded the collection of several thousand samples of sediments and waters from lakes around the Athabasca Sandstone. All sediment samples were analyzed for U, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Co, Fe and Mn. Selected samples were analyzed for a wide range of additional elements. All lake waters were analyzed for U, F-, and pH, and several hundred samples were analyzed for additional elements and parameters. The Summary Table that precedes this text shows the numbers of samples and elements, and the source of data from which the 8,939 samples listed in the 9 Tables are derived. Over 20 years ago the data in these listings were coded into the Saskatchewan Geological Survey’s ‘Geochemical Data File’, designed in the 1970s (Dunn, 1978b, 1979), and developed by SaskComp (the computer programming department of the Saskatchewan government at that time). The only database listed in the present report that was not in the Geochemical Data File was GSC Open File #779, jointly produced by the SGS and GSC (Coker and Dunn, 1981, 1983) and containing data from detailed surveys of the IAEA/NEA Athabasca Test Area (adjacent to Wollaston Lake). The old Geochemical Data File was state-of-the-art at the time, and data have been available for public scrutiny since inception in 1977. Demonstrations of the File were given at the SGS Open House meetings in 1977 and 1978. The explosive development of personal computers during the past 20 years has made the original Geochemical Data File something of a dinosaur, and the data have been difficult to access and manipulate. The present data file is a compilation that has resulted from detailed evaluation, streamlining, editing and breakdown of the data into simplified Excel files that can easily be manipulated by anyone with a modest knowledge of computers. These data are of historic value and their re-evaluation could assist in current uranium exploration programs. Of particular value is their use in environmental studies, since they represent a 1970s snapshot of the chemistry of the northern Saskatchewan environment prior to mine developments. At the start of sample collection in 1975 Key Lake had not been drained and the only mine site was the pit at Rabbit Lake. This compilation has divided the data into 9 tables, each presented as a shape file. There are 6 shape files of lake sediment data (1LS - 6LS) and 3 shape files of lake water data (4LW - 6LW). Lake water samples were from the same sites as the lake sediments listed in files 4LS - 6LS, hence they have been given the same numeric designation. The data are mostly compatible among the Tables. However, although analytical methods and quality control protocols were similar, they were sufficiently different to warrant treating the data as separate listings. For any regional plotting of data extracted from all Tables these differences should be considered when interpreting distribution patterns. Of particular relevance is that all sediment samples were analyzed for U by neutron activation, with the exception of 158 samples (Table 2LS) where determinations were by fluorometry. These data sets should be fully compatible, because the two techniques provide similar values. Comparison of U data from sediment samples collected and analyzed over four years, then reanalyzed as one batch has shown excellent precision and accuracy (Coker and Dunn, 1981). All U in water determinations were by fluorometry, and all F- by selective ion electrode. Loss on ignition (LOI) data were determined by ignition at 500o C for 4 hours. Table 1LS This data set comprises samples collected by SGS between 1975 and 1978. Samples were digested in aqua regia and all trace elements, except U (see above), were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (AA). **Please Note – All published Saskatchewan Geological Survey datasets, including those available through the Saskatchewan Mining and Petroleum GeoAtlas, are sourced from the Enterprise GIS Data Warehouse. They are therefore identical and share the same refresh schedule.
