Description:   The use of an electrical-conductance, bottom-contacting probe for identifying the discharge of acid mine drainage in surface waters was evalauted.  A survey using this probe was conducted in various locations around Timmins and Sudbury, Ontario, and the results were quantified.  The probe was able to successfully identify areas of acid mine drainage discharge in surface waters, and provided estimates of the impact at those areas.
