ILLUSTRATIONS:

 

Figure 4:  The word "Paleozoic" is missing in the "Eras" column, and the word "Carboniferous" is wrongly placed and is not necessary to the "Period" column. Also, some of the lines connecting the geologic periods do not connect with their corresponding month-time equivalents on the Year scale; i.e., November 1^st should connect with the base of the Cambrian.

 

Figures 7A, 7B:  The sub-figure captions should be beneath the pertinent figures, rather than being lost within the main caption. Also, the province name "Alberta" should be added, along with its provincial boundary with British Columbia.

 

Figure 8:  Ditto above.  Also, caption on the figure, "ICE DAM BRAKES", should read "ICE DAM BREAKS".

 

Figure 10:  This caption would be better placed beneath the figure, not at the top of the group of photos of Figure 11.

 

Figure 11:  The caption should be at the top of Fig. 11A, and with Figs. 11A and 11B placed lower, at the same level of Figs. 11D and 11C.

 

Figure 13D:  Caption should read " ... sewage treatment plant," not " ...plane."

 

Figure 14:  The gray relief shading of the hilly area surrounding the study area should be printed darker, to more pictorially emphasize the contrast with the flat study area. (The dull gray of the shaded relief in the relatively flat study area should be deleted, so that the color patterns would be printed against a white background. This comment also applies to figs. 22, 23, 25, 29, 31, 34, 35, 37-44.

 

Figure 20:  These three block diagrams should be aligned in a row, A,B,C, left to right, for original-artwork perspective; the discerning reader might wonder why C is turned in this direction. Perhaps the figure should be side-titles, or else reduced in size so A,B, and C can be in line across the page, with bottom title.

 

Figure 21:  Error in captioning the recharge area on right. It should read "Recharge area for unconfined aquifer."  Also, the "Potentiometric surface" line should be dashed where it crosses the "Confining layer".

 

Figure 23:  Should use different size or style of fonts within the boxes denoting recharge and discharge, to avoid confusion with town names on the underlying base map. Here, the labels appear to read "Parkwater Leakage to Spokane River" and "Millwood Percolation from ...".

 

Figure 24:  For consistency and clarity, the leader from B (losing stream) should be pointed to the stream where it is intersected by the cross section on the right, as was done for the leader from A (gaining stream).

 

Figure 35:  Caption should be placed beneath the illustration, rather than at the bottom of the facing page.

 

Figure 41:  Leaders should be added to the pertinent curves in the upper two graphs.

 

Figure 43:  Leader going to right from "Post Falls" should stop at the blue line, rather than being extended into the green area.

 

Figure 44:  The line and brown penciled area should be extended upward to the left, all the way to "Nine Mile Dam".

 

Figure 46:  Leader from the upper right corner of the aquifer element (on block diagram) should lead to its corresponding corner on the flow-model map.

 

Figure on page 74 (Appendix C):  This section diagram should be a square, not a rectangle. (If the word-processing computer can’t make a square, the cartographer should do the job.)

 

TEXT:

 

P. ii:  As for most USGS reports, indicate author’s year of birth: i.e., "Dee Molenaar, 1918-".

 

P. v-vii (in CONTENTS): For clarity of reading, page numbers should all be "right-justified," with dotted leaders extending from the pertinent captions.  Also, to introduce the reader early to explanations now in Appendices A and C at the back of the report,

this should be placed immediately after the CONTENTS, as in most USGS reports.

 

P. iii:  2^nd column, line 4, should read "relations between".

 

P. vi:  Figure 5 should be indicated as on pp. 8-9; fig. 7 on pp. 12-13; fig. 8 on pp. 14-15; fig. 9 on pp. 16-17; and fig. 13 on pp. 22-23.

 

P. 1:  2^nd column, line 5: Unit-modifying hyphens should be retained here (and elsewhere).  Should read "land-use activities ...".

 

P. 2:  Column 1, line 5: Delete apostrophes: should read 1800s, not 1800’s. This is not a possessive nor an abbreviation. (But, for some reason, the GPO Style Manual still adheres to this bad practice.)

 

P. 2:  Column 1, paragraph 3, next-to-last line: Add hyphen to read "earth-sciences professional."

 

P. 11:  Column 2, paragraph 2, line 9: Should read "Condon," not Congdon".

 

P. 16:  3^rd paragraph (continued on p. 17) should be the 2^nd paragraph on p. 16.

 

P. 26:  Column 1, paragraph 2: Change "(see section, this report)" to read "(see page 11)".

 

P. 36:  Column 2, line 5: Change "provides" to "provide".  Line 7: Change "indicates" to "indicate" (These two changes reflect the plural subject "data").

 

P. 43:  Column 2, paragraph 3, line 7: Should read "land-use ..." (unit modifier; see note for p. 1 above).

 

P. 44:  Column 1, paragraph 3, line 10: Ditto above.

 

P. 45:  Column 1, paragraph 1: Delete 1^st sentence as redundant; 2^nd sentence says it better.

 

P. 48:  Column 2, paragraph 3, line 13: Add to read " ... liter, respectively ...".

 

P. 52:  Column 1, paragraph 2, last line: Add hyphen, to read "land-use activities".

 

P. 59:  Column 2, paragraph 2, line 3: Add hyphen, to read "land-use planning".

 

P. 64:  Last "by" value should read "0.5556".

 

P. 74:  Delete last sentence; the photo in Idaho was not used in the report.
