In summary, the Fraser Lakes district has numerous similarities to nearby basement-hosted uranium deposits, such as Eagle Point and Millennium, and to U-Th-REE deposits found in the Grenville Province (Lentz 1991) and the Erzgebvirge -Fichtelgebirge region, Germany (Forster 1998).

This chapter demonstrates the usefulness of stable isotopes in investigating groundwater-lake systems. The discussion emphasizes isotopic applications to groundwater-lake systems characteristic of the temperate glaciated regions of the north-central and northeastern United States. Thus, it is also applicable to similar systems in other glaciated parts of the world, such as the Scandinavian peninsula and northern Asia. The applications stem from our experience with lake systems in the lake district of north-central Wisconsin. As such, we restrict our discussion to shallow groundwater systems that are hydraulically connected to freshwater lakes. 

Site Description. Little Rock Lake (LRL) is a soft-water oligotrophic seepage lake located in the Northern Highland Lake District in north-central Wisconsin (Vilas County 45°59 55"N, 89°42 15"W). Public access to the site, which is in the Northern Highlands State Forest, has been restricted since the study began. 

People have given generously of their time to aid me in my quest for a deeper understanding of the subjects. From jet workers in Whitby and horn workers in the Lake District, to people at the Environmental Investigation Agency and those working tirelessly on hawksbill conservation at the Barbados Sea Turde Project - all have been willing to help.

The highest He concentrations reported for probe sampling were found at the Ambrosia Lake district. New Mexico, USA, in a restricted survey of 46 samples from a 1.2 x 3.2 km area over mineralisation 300-400 m deep (Reimer et al., 1979b). The mean soil-gas concentration was 5.30 ppm He, with three samples containing 5.47-5.65 ppm He. The distribution pattern has some coherence but is not readily related to the location of the mines and has probably been affected by the mining operations.

Esthwaite Water (Tipping and Woof, 1983, a and b) is a softwater lake in the English Lake District. In this lake, humic substances extracted by butan-l-ol were present almost exclusively in the dissolved and colloidal size classes. The small fraction of humic substances in the particulate form should not be discounted, since it may explain a hypolimnetic accumulation of these substances. Humic carbon comprised 60-70% of the DOC in winter and early spring, but only 30-40% in summer. The higher proportion of nonhumic DOC during summer months presumably resulted from increased biological production of DOC. 

Lake Plussee (Muenster, in preparation) is a eutrophic hardwater lake of the Plon lake district. During the summer, concentrations of dissolved combined phenolic compounds oscillate drastically over short periods of time (as shown in Fig. 17 for epilimnetic waters), although DOC concentrations (measured as COD in glucose-carbon equivalents) were much more stable. Fluctuations in combined phenolic compounds correlate poorly with phytoplankton standing crop (Fig. 17, lowermost panel). Thus, distribution patterns of free phenols and phenolic compounds may result primarily from abiotic factors (e.g., photolysis, allochthonous inputs by rainstorms, or adsorption onto autochthonous calcite) or biotic ones other than release by phytoplankton (e.g., biodegradation after photolysis). These processes, which have not yet been quantified, obviously influence the upper water layers most, since absolute concentrations of phenolic compounds (as well as oscillations within the concentrations) are significantly lower in the deeper-water layers. Perhaps many of the phenols in the deeper strata occur in a particulate state, adsorbed onto sedimentary matter. Alternatively, total phenolic concentrations are really lower in the deeper strata if true, the reasons remain obscure.
