    Description
    Groundwater and surface water quality was analyzed in several watersheds of the historic mining district of Chloride and the southern adjacent former mining areas on the western slope of the Cerbat Mountains, northwest of Kingman, in Mohave County, Arizona. The investigations were carried out to characterize the general water quality, and particularly to ascertain, to what degree groundwater and surface water are contaminated due to the past mining activities. Groundwater in the immediate vicinity of the large Tennessee Mine, where ore processing took place, was found to be seriously polluted by heavy metals. But neither the groundwater in the town of Chloride, nor the groundwater in the Cerbat Wash watershed, showed evidence of contamination by subsurface or surface water flow from the upstream mining areas. Independent of the historic mining nitrogen contamination was found in the Chloride wells, which could be attributed to improperly functioning private septic tanks. In contrast to the groundwater almost all surface waters were contaminated by heavy metals and other contaminants due to the historic mining activities.
