Abstract
A general description of surface and groundwater quality in a coal-resource area near Durango, southwestern Colorado is given.

Median concentrations of dissolved boron, iron, manganese, and zinc were less than 35 microg/l; median concentrations of dissolved lead and selenium were less than 1 microg/l.
