The zinc content can be related to known minor mineralized areas around Springfield. Some iron content in the surface waters and shallow aquifers is contributed by the iron-bearing clays and pyrites in the shallow formations.
The ranges of heavy metal values in the Springfield area are in ppb: lead, 1 to 70; …
