Soils used in the present DOE project were obtained from the Field Research Center (FRC) through correspondence with FRC Manager David Watson. We obtained a total of six soils sampled at different distances from the surface: (A) Non-contaminated surface soil from Hinds Creek Floodplain (0 mbs (meter below surface)). (B) Mercury-contaminated surface soil from Lower East Fork Poplar Creek Floodplain (0 mbs). (C) Mercury-contaminated subsurface soil from Lower East Fork Poplar Creek Floodplain (0.5 mbs). (D) Mercury-contaminated subsurface soil from Lower East Fork Poplar Creek Floodplain (1.0 mbs). (E) Non-contaminated surface soil from Ish Creek Floodplain (0 mbs). (F) Non-contaminated surface soil from Ish Creek Floodplain (0.5 mbs).
