description: A prototype petrologic database (MinChem) has been under continual
 development for several years. MinChem contains petrologic, mineralogical, and
 bulk-rock geochemical data for Hanford Site sediments collected over multiple
 decades. The database is in relational form and consists of a series of
 related tables modeled after the Hanford Environmental Information System HEIS
 (BHI 2002) structures. The HEIS-compatible tables were created in anticipation
 of eventual migration into HEIS, or some future form of HEIS (e.g. HEIS-GEO).
 There are currently a total of 13,129 results in MinChem from 521 samples
 collected at 381 different sampling sites. These data come from 19 different
 original source documents published and unpublished (e.g. letter reports)
 between 1976 and 2009. The data in MinChem consist of results from analytical
 methods such as optical and electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, x-ray
 fluorescence, and electron probe microanalysis.
