Seal RR, Schultz AP, Haffner DP, Meier AL. 1999. Water quality and inorganic chemistry of Icewater Spring and Mount Le Conte Spring, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Tennessee and North Carolina. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Open-File Report. 99-375. United States Geological Survey. Reston, VA
The introduction to this document reads "In September 1988, the U.S. Geological Survey sampled waters from Mount Le Conte Spring and Icewater Spring in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park as part of an ongoing study aimed at understanding the geochemical controls on surface water chemistry associated with watersheds underlain by the Anakeesta Formation and related rock units (Seal and coworkers, 1998). The spring samples were collected as samples of regional ground waters for comparison with surface waters from the upper reaches of the West Prong of the Little Pigeon River, Tennessee and the Oconaluftee River, North Carolina. This report compares the inorganic chemistry of these springs to U.S.E.P.A. drinking water standards."
