Data from Soil and Storm Water Runoff Samples for the Evaluation of Butyl Acrylate Vinyl Acetate in an Arid Environment, Clark County, Nevada

This U.S. Geological Survey data release contains data from soil and storm water samples collected in and around areas in southern Nevada where a polymer-based dust palliative was applied. The applied palliatives were FSB-1000 (Soil Tech, 2012) or Soil-Sement (Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc., 2001) which contain water and the co-polymer butyl acrylate vinyl acetate (BAVA). Samples were collected during and after the construction of two solar energy facilities and on a mining access road in the Mojave Desert from 2016 to 2020. Two tables are presented: 1) concentrations of BAVA and ancillary data from all samples (BAVA_conc.csv), and 2) background-adjusted gel permeation size selective chromatography data from the samples in which BAVA was detected (BAVA_chromatography.csv).
