The Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts require the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines to survey certain areas on Federal lands to determine their mineral resource potential. Results must be made available to the public and be submitted to the President and the Congress. This report presents the results of a geochemical survey of the Arnold Mesa Roadless Area (U.S. Forest Service number 03092) in the Prescott and Tonto National Forests, Yavapai County, Arizona. The Arnold Mesa Roadless Area was classified as a further planning area during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE II) by the U.S. Forest Service, January 1979.
\nDuring 1980 the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines (USBM) conducted field investigations to evaluate the mineral resource potential of the Arnold Mesa Roadless Area, Yavapai County, Arizona. Field studies included geologic mapping (Wolrfe, 1983), aeromagnetic mapping (Davis and Wolfe, 1983), geochemical sampling (this report), and a survey of known mines and prospects (McColly and Korzeb, 1981).
\nThe Arnold Mesa Roadless Area comprises about 28,000 acres (11,300 hectares) in and along the flanks of the Black Hills south of Camp Verde, Arizona. The Black Hills form a northwest-trending drainage divide, between the Agua Fria drainage on the west and Verde River on the east, that extends through the roadless area. The crest and southwest flank of the divide within the study area are moderately dissected, gently rolling uplands. The northeast flank is steep terrain that forms the western wall of the Verde Valley. The northeast flank has a total relief within the study area of almost 4,000 ft (more than 1,200 m) and is deeply incised by the canyons of Gap and Chasm Creeks. Unpaved roads provide access to much of the perimeter of the Arnold Mesa Roadless Area, but the interior is accessible only by foot, horse, or helicopter.

Analysis of the apparent oscillations of given frequencies occurring in the data indicates that frequently occurring storms can account for as much as 50 percent of the variation in sediment discharge. \r\n\r\nComponents of the frequency analysis indicate that a linear representation is reasonable for the water-sediment system. Models that incorporate lagged water discharge as input prove superior to univariate techniques in modeling and prediction of sediment discharges. The random component of the models includes errors in measurement and model hypothesis and indicates no serial correlation. An index of sediment production within or between drain-gage basins can be calculated from model parameters.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/wsp2216","usgsCitation":"Fitzgerald, M.G., and Karlinger, M.R., 1983, Daily water and sediment discharges from selected rivers of the eastern United States; a time-series modeling approach: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 2216, vi, 24 p. :ill., 1 map ;27 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp2216.","productDescription":"vi, 24 p. :ill., 1 map ;27 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":137526,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/2216/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":26423,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/2216/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a96e4b07f02db65acb2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Fitzgerald, Michael G.","contributorId":42942,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Fitzgerald","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":143606,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Karlinger, Michael R.","contributorId":10777,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Karlinger","given":"Michael","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":143605,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":40680,"text":"ofr80811J - 1983 - Distribution and abundance of molybdenum, tin and tungsten in nonmagnetic and moderately magnetic heavy-mineral-concentrate samples and tin in minus-80-mesh stream-sediment and ash of aquatic-bryophyte samples, Medfra quadrangle, Alaska","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2022-09-13T18:47:54.047745","indexId":"ofr80811J","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1983","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":330,"text":"Open-File Report","code":"OFR","onlineIssn":"2331-1258","printIssn":"0196-1497","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"80-811","chapter":"J","title":"Distribution and abundance of molybdenum, tin and tungsten in nonmagnetic and moderately magnetic heavy-mineral-concentrate samples and tin in minus-80-mesh stream-sediment and ash of aquatic-bryophyte samples, Medfra quadrangle, Alaska","docAbstract":"

Three drill holes placed to test anomalies within these formations yielded negative results. \r\n\r\nStudies of a long, narrow anomaly north of the Rabathan area indicated a similar geological environment. This northern area also contains limited zones that are highly anomalous in copper and zinc and extensive zones that are slightly anomalous in those metals. Drilling was not undertaken in this area. \r\n\r\nThe Bilajimah airborne electromagnetic anomaly west of Wadi Bidah coincides with a broad synclinorium of layered felsic turfs and gossans. Geochemical studies indicated slightly anomalous copper, zinc, and silver values in gossans within the anomaly area. Two drill holes intersected carbonaceous rock that contained approximately 15 percent pyrrhotite and traces of sphalerite and chalcopyrite. \r\n\r\nTwo geophysically anomalous areas west of Wadi Bidah surround ancient mines at Mahawiyah and Khayal al Masna'ah. Results of geochemical sampling at these workings were positive. An airborne electromagnetic anomaly located in the Assifar area in the southwestern corner of the Wadi Bidah district is underlain principally by metasedimentary rocks that include large linear zones of cherty iron-manganese formation and a few gossans .containing secondary base metal minerals.\r\n\r\nDetailed mapping and sampling of the Mulhal ancient mine, located west of Wadi Bidah, revealed two types of polymetallic gossans : (1) stratiform deposits interlayered with ignimbrites and mafic volcanic rocks and (2) barite-bearing gossanous material in shear zones that grade into hydrothermally altered shear zones and extend beyond the mine area. The gossans and gossanous shear zones contain anomalous amounts of gold, silver, lead, copper, zinc, barium, and selenium. \r\n\r\nTwo gossans west of Wadi Bidah were mapped and sampled in detail; both gossans are interlayered, with siliceous volcanic rocks. Although the gossan at Jabal Mohr covers a large area, it contains low amounts of precious and base metals. The gossan at Mulhal No. 2 contains moderate to high amounts of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/ofr83672","usgsCitation":"Smith, C.W., Waters, B., Naqvi, M., Worl, R.G., Helaby, A., Flanigan, V.J., Sadek, H., and Samater, R., 1983, Geological and geochemical studies in the Wadi Bidah District, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 83-672, v, 101 p., 6 over-size sheets, ill., maps ;1983., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr83672.","productDescription":"v, 101 p., 6 over-size sheets, ill., maps ;1983.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":142103,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1983/0672/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":34537,"rank":405,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1983/0672/plate-6.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":34538,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1983/0672/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":34532,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1983/0672/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":34533,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1983/0672/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":34534,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1983/0672/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":34535,"rank":403,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1983/0672/plate-4.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":34536,"rank":404,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1983/0672/plate-5.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4adee4b07f02db6876b4","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Smith, C.

The aquifer overlies a thick clay layer at an average depth of 65 feet. The water table is about 10 feet below land surface in the western part of the Base and about 25 feet below land surface in the eastern part. A ground-water divide cuts diagonally across the Base from northwest to southeast. South of the divide, ground water flows to the Au Sable River; north of the divide, it flows to Van Etten Creek and Van Etten Lake. Mathematical models were used to aid in calculating rates of groundwater flow. Rates range from about 0.8 feet per day in the eastern part of the Base to about 0.3 feet per day in the western part. Models also were used as an aid in making decisions regarding purging of contaminated water from the aquifer.
In 1977, trichloroethylene was detected in the Air Force Base water-supply system. It had leaked from a buried storage tank near Building 43 in the southeastern part of the Base and moved northeastward under the influence of the natural ground-water gradient and the pumping of Base water-supply wells. In the most highly contaminated part of the plume, concentrations are greater than 1,000 micrograms per liter. Current purge pumping is removing some of the trichloroethylene, and seems to have arrested its eastward movement. Pumping of additional purge wells could increase the rate of removal.
Trichloroethylene has also been detected in ground water in the vicinity of the Base alert apron, where a plume from an unknown source extends northeastward off Base. A smaller, less well-defined area of contamination also occurs just north of the larger plume. Trichloroethylene, identified near the waste-treatment plant, seepage lagoons, and the northern landfill area, is related to activities and operations in these areas. Dichloroethylene and trichloroethylene occur in significant quantities westward of Building 43, upgradient from the major spill site. Benzene, indicative of ground-water contamination by a fuel substance, occurs in an area northeast of the bulk-fuel storage area. Analysis of a variety of chemical, physical, and biologic characteristics of water on the Base indicate that there is a measurable affect on ground-water quality from landfills, the seepage lagoon, and the waste-treatment plant.

The impacts of subsidence are potentially severe in terms of damage to surface utility lines and structures, changes in surface-water and ground-water conditions, and effects on vegetation and animals. Although subsidence cannot be eliminated, it can be reduced or controlled in areas where deformation of the ground surface would produce dangerous or costly effects. \r\n\r\nSubsidence prediction is highly developed in Europe where there are comparatively uniform mining conditions and a long history of field measurements. Much of this mining has been carried out beneath crowded urban and industrial areas where accurate predictions have facilitated use of the surface and reduced undesirable impacts. Concerted efforts to understand subsidence processes in the United States are recent. Empirical methods of subsidence analysis and prediction based on local conditions seem better suited to the current state of knowledge of the varied geologic and topographic conditions in domestic coal mining regions than do theoretical/mathematical approaches. In order to develop broadly applicable subsidence prediction methods and models for the United States, more information is needed on magnitude and timing of ground movements and geologic properties.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/cir876","usgsCitation":"Lee, F.T., and Abel, J., 1983, Subsidence from underground mining; environmental analysis and planning considerations: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 876, iv, 28 p. :ill., maps ;26 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir876.","productDescription":"iv, 28 p. :ill., maps ;26 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":124669,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1983/0876/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":30794,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1983/0876/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b05e4b07f02db699ae9","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lee, Fitzhugh T.","contributorId":82272,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lee","given":"Fitzhugh","email":"","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147500,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Abel, John F.","contributorId":84351,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Abel","given":"John F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147501,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":27732,"text":"wri834179 - 1983 - Three-dimensional digital-computer model of the principal ground-water reservoir of the Sevier Desert, Utah","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2022-12-09T21:40:24.164154","indexId":"wri834179","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1983","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":342,"text":"Water-Resources Investigations Report","code":"WRI","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"83-4179","title":"Three-dimensional digital-computer model of the principal ground-water reservoir of the Sevier Desert, Utah","docAbstract":"The principal ground-water reservoir in part of the Sevier Desert, Utah was modeled using a three-dimensional finite-difference model.

Bedrock in the area is shale, siltstone, sandstone, and the McAlester (Stigler) and Hartshorne coals of the McAlester Formation and Hartshorne Sandstone of Pennsylvanian age. The two coal beds, upper and lower Hartshorne, associated with the Hartshorne Sandstone converge or are separated by a few feet or less of bony coal or shale in the McCurtain area. Many small faults cut the Hartshorne coal in all the McCurtain-area mines. The main avenues of water entry to and movement through the bedrock are the exposed bedding-plane openings between layers of sandstone, partings between laminae of shale, fractures and joints developed during folding and faulting laminae of shale, fractures and joints developed during folding and faulting of the brittle rocks, and openings caused by surface mining--the overburden being shattered and broken to form spoil. Water-table conditions exist in bedrock and spoil in the area. Mine pond water is in direct hydraulic connections with water in the spoil piles and the underlying Hartshorne Sandstone.\r\nSulfate is the best indicator of the presence of coal-mine drainage in both surface and ground water in the Oklahoma coal field. Median sulfate concentrations for four sites on Mule Creek ranged from 26 to 260 milligrams per liter. Median sulfate concentrations increased with increased drainage from unreclaimed mined areas. The median sulfate concentration in Mule Creek where it drains the reclaimed area is less than one-third of that at the next site downstream where the stream begins to drain abandoned (unreclaimed) mine lands.\r\n\r\nWater from Mule Creek predominantly is a sodium sulfate type. Maximum and median values for specific conductance and concentrations of calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfate, chloride, dissolved solids, and alkalinity increase as Mule Creek flows downstream and drains increasing areas of abandoned (unreclaimed) mining lands. Constituent concentrations in Mule Creek, except those for dissolved solids, iron, manganese, and sulfate, generally do not exceed drinking-water limits. Reclamation likely would result in decreased concentrations of dissolved solids, calcium, magnesium, sodium, sulfate, and alkalinity in Mule Creek in the vicinity of the reclaimed area.\r\n\r\nGround water in the area is moderately hard to very hard alkaline water with a median pH of 7.2 to 7.6. It predominately is a sodium sulfate type and, except for dissolved solids, iron manganese, and sulfate, constituent concentrations generally do not exceed drinking-water limits. Ground-water quality would likely be unchanged by reclamation.\r\n\r\nThe quality of water in the two mine ponds is quite similar to that of the shallow ground water in the area. Constituents in water from both ponds generally do not exceed drinking-water limits and the water quality is unlikely to be changed by reclamation in the area.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/wri834202","usgsCitation":"Slack, L.J., 1983, Hydrology of an abandoned coal-mining area near McCurtain, Haskell County, Oklahoma: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4202, v, 117 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri834202.","productDescription":"v, 117 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":124782,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1983/4202/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":58548,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1983/4202/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":58549,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1983/4202/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49dee4b07f02db5e2ef3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Slack, L.

Using a mass-balance model, the author calculated P loadings from present-day P concentrations measured in lake water and from other easily measured physical characteristics in a total of 28 lakes in drainage basins that contain only forest and residential land. The loadings from background sources (forest-land drainage and bulk precipitation) to each of the lakes were estimated by methods developed in a previous study. Differences between estimated present-day P loadings and loadings from background sources were attributed to changes in land use. The mean increase in annual P yield resulting from conversion of forest to residential land use was 7 kilograms per square kilometer, not including septic tank system contributions. Calculated loadings from septic systems were found to correlate best with the number of near-shore dwellings around each lake in 1940. The regression equation expressing this relationship explained 36 percent of the sample variance. There was no significant correlation between estimated septic tank system P loadings and number of dwellings present in 1960 or 1970. The evidence indicates that older systems might contribute more phosphorus to lakes than newer systems, and that there may be substantial time lags between septic system installation and significant impacts on lake-water P concentrations. For lakes in basins that contain agricultural land, the P loading attributable to agriculture can be calculated as the difference between the estimated total loading and the sum of estimated loadings from nonagricultural sources. A comprehensive system for evaluating errors in all loading estimates is presented. The empirical relationships developed allow preliminary approximations of the cumulative impact development has had on P loading and the amounts of P loading from generalized land-use categories for Puget Sound lowland lakes. In addition, the sensitivity of a lake to increased loading can be evaluated using the mass-balance model. The data required are presently available for most lakes. Estimates of P loading are useful in developing water-quality goals, setting priorities for lake studies, and designing studies of individual lakes. The suitability of a method for management of individual lakes will often be limited by relatively high levels of uncertainty, especially if the method is used to evaluate relatively small increases in P loading.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp2240","usgsCitation":"Gilliom, R.J., 1983, Estimation of nonpoint source loadings of phosphorus for lakes in the Puget Sound region, Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 2240, iv, 24 p. :ill., 1 map ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp2240.","productDescription":"iv, 24 p. :ill., 1 map ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":138235,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/2240/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":26749,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/2240/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a0ae4b07f02db5fb25d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Gilliom, Robert J. rgilliom@usgs.gov","contributorId":488,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Gilliom","given":"Robert","email":"rgilliom@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":451,"text":"National Water Quality Assessment Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":143954,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":28771,"text":"wri834018 - 1983 - Hydrology of the Little Androscoggin River Valley aquifer, Oxford County, Maine","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2012-02-02T00:08:52","indexId":"wri834018","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1983","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":342,"text":"Water-Resources Investigations Report","code":"WRI","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"83-4018","title":"Hydrology of the Little Androscoggin River Valley aquifer, Oxford County, Maine","docAbstract":"The Little Androscoggin River valley aquifer, a 15-square-mile sand and gravel valley-fill aquifer in southwestern Maine, is the source of water for the towns of Norway, Oxford, and South Paris. Estimated inflows to the aquifer during the 1981 water year were 16.4 cubic feet per second from precipitation directly on the aquifer, 11.2 cubic feet per second from till covered uplands adjacent to the aquifer, and 1.4 cubic feet per second from surface-water leakage. Outflows from the aquifer were 26.7 cubic feet per second to surface water and 2.3 cubic feet per second to wells. A finite-difference ground-water flow model was used to simulate conditions observed in the aquifer during 1981. Model conditions observed in the aquifer during 1981. Model simulations indicate that a 50 percent reduction of average 1981 recharge to the aquifer would cause water level declines of up to 20 feet in some areas. Model simulations of increased pumping at a high yield well in the northern part of the aquifer indicate that resulting changes in the water table will not be sufficient to intercept groundwater contaminated by a sludge disposal site. Water in the aquifer is low in dissolved solids (average for 38 samples was 67 mg/L), slightly acidic and soft. Ground-water contamination has occurred near a sludge-disposal site and in the vicinity of a sanitary landfill.

The maximum depth of the submerged channel of Yegua Creek is usually less than 35 feet and in most areas of the lake the depth is less than 10 feet.
\nSeveral factors including thermal circulation resulting from the cooling of surface water, wind action, and the large inflow volume in realtion to the lake volume combine to keep the lake well mixed throughout the year. The oxygen concentrations remain high areally and at depth because of good circulation of lake waters during most of the year. Even in summer most bottom oxygen concentrations were in excess of 50 percent of saturation.
\nDue to year-round high percent oxygen saturation from surface to bottom in most parts of the lake, caused by the frequent periods of circulation that occur during all seasons, concentrations of dissolved iron, and manganese reamin low. Dissovled iron concentrations were less than 50 micrograms per liter and dissolved manganese concentrations were less than 40 micrograms per liter. The total inorganic nitrogen concentrations varied little throughout the lake. During the summer, concentrations were 0.01 milligram per liter at the surface to 0.02 milligram per liter at the bottom; and during the winter 0.11 milligram per liter at the surface and 0.10 milligram per liter at the bottom. Concentrations in the headwaters were about double those in the lake. Surface and bottom total phosphorus concentrations, during summer and winter averaged about the same, 0.04 and 0.06 milligram per liter throughout the lake, except in the headwaters where the concentrations were about double those in the lake.
\nHomogeneous or near homogeneous concentrations of total phosphorus and inorganic nitrogen can occur at any time of the year throughout the lake. Total phosphorus concentrations did not increase during the year or during the study period. On the other hand total inorganic nitrogen concentrations did show an annual cycle and were highest in the spring and lowest in late summer or fall. During periods of large releases of water, the more soluble total inorganic nitrogen was flushed from the lake.
\nThe concentration of dissolved solids ranged from 139 to 292 milligrams per liter and averaged about 220 milligrams per liter. Dissolved chloride concentrations ranged from 20 to 68 milligrams per liter and averaged 43 milligrams per liter. Dissolved sulfate concentrations ranged from 30 to 130 milligrams per liter and averaged 63 milligrams per liter. The total hardness of the water ranged from 75 to 140 milligrams per liter, expressed as calcium carbonate, placing it in the moderately hard to hard (61 to 180 milligrams per liter) classification. The concentrations of principal dissolved constituents indicate that Somerville Lake is an excellent source of water for municipal, industrial, or agricultural use.

Transient-decay voltages in profile mode were measured across the Sha'ab at \r\nTare and Rabathan prospects by use of three transmitterreceiver loop configurations. At the Sha'ab at Tare prospect all of the loop configurations indicated the mineralized \r\nzone. Analysis of the coincident loop data at Sha'ab at Tare reveals that gossanous and altered rock of i0 ohm-m resistivity extends to a depth of 35 m, where there is an unweathered, dry mineralized zone of about 1 ohm-m resistivity. The model further suggests that the rocks at a depth of 55 m and below the water table are even less resistive (0. 1 ohm-m). The TDEM method successfully discriminated conductors within from those below the weathered zone at the Rabathan prospect. Conductors below the weathered zone are identified by a lack of transient response in the early part of the transient decay curve, followed by an increasing response in the middle to late parts of the transient decay curve. Results of these limited tests suggest the potential value of integrating TDEM with other geophysical tools in the Kingdom. Recommendations are made to expand these tests into a more comprehensive program that will evaluate the TDEM potential in various geologic environments that are host to mineral deposits of diverse origin.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/ofr83613","usgsCitation":"Flanigan, V.J., Sadek, H., Smith, B., and Tippens, C.L., 1983, Time-domain electromagnetic tests in the Wadi Bidah District, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 83-613, ii, 27 p. ill., maps ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr83613.","productDescription":"ii, 27 p. ill., maps ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":140730,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1983/0613/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":35040,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1983/0613/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a53e4b07f02db62b578","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Flanigan, Vincent J.","contributorId":37735,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Flanigan","given":"Vincent","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":156208,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Sadek, Hamdy","contributorId":97491,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sadek","given":"Hamdy","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":156210,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Smith, Bruce 0000-0002-1643-2997","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1643-2997","contributorId":43350,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Smith","given":"Bruce","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":156209,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Tippens, C.

Changes in the potentiometric surface of the aquifer are small between the wet and dry seasons. Water quality within the study area is generally very good except immediately adjacent to the coast where saltwater from the Gulf of Mexico poses a threat to freshwater supply. This threat can be compensated for by placing well fields a sufficient distance away from the zone of transition from saltwater to freshwater so as not to reduce or reverse the hydraulic gradient in that zone. Computer models are presently available to help predict the extent of influence of ground-water withdrawals in an area. These may be used as management tools in planning ground-water development of the area.

The back-arc, median, and downwarp basins have significantly greater petroleum potential than do the fore-arc and inner-are basins. The latter two types are expected to yield only small discoveries; also, significant portions of such basins lie in water depths in excess of 1,000 m. The back-arc basins have been the most petroleum productive, but they also have been the most extensively explored. The greatest undiscovered petroleum potential is estimated to lie in the downwarp and median basins. \r\n\r\nIn Indonesia, six general types of geological settings or plays have been identified as being favorable for petroleum accumulation. They are transgressive clastic sequences, regressive clastic sequences, deltas, carbonate platforms, pinnacle reefs, and fractured igneous and volcanic rocks. The multiple-pay transgressive clastic reservoirs in the back-arc basins have produced most of Indonesia's crude oil. In several basins, carbonate platform porosity has become a primary exploration target, but each reservoir (reef, bank, or bioclastic zone) tends to be restricted in size. \r\n\r\nTypically, Indonesian oil is of medium gravity with a paraffin base and has a moderate to high pour point, a low sulfur content, and a relatively low gas to oil ratio.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/cir899","usgsCitation":"Riva, J.P., 1983, Assessment of undiscovered conventionally recoverable petroleum resources of Indonesia: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 899, vi, 17 p. :ill., maps ;26 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir899.","productDescription":"vi, 17 p. :ill., maps ;26 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":124680,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1983/0899/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":30527,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1983/0899/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4abae4b07f02db671ce5","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Riva, Joseph P.","contributorId":70747,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Riva","given":"Joseph","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147065,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":36556,"text":"fwsobs82_10_41 - 1983 - Habitat Suitability Information: Blacknose dace","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2022-02-09T15:36:36.044016","indexId":"fwsobs82_10_41","displayToPublicDate":"1994-01-01T00:00:00","publicationYear":"1983","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":1,"text":"Federal Government Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":20,"text":"FWS/OBS","active":false,"publicationSubtype":{"id":1}},"seriesNumber":"82/10.41","subseriesTitle":"Habitat Suitability Index","title":"Habitat Suitability Information: Blacknose dace","docAbstract":"A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop riverine and lacustrine habitat models for Blacknose dace, a freshwater species.

The precipitation-runoff modeling system is a modular-design, deterministic, distributed-parameter modeling system developed to evaluate the impacts of various combinations of precipitation, climate, and land use on streamflow, sediment yields, and general basin hydrology. Basin response to normal and extreme rainfall and snowmelt can be simulated to evaluate changes in water balance relationships, flow regimes, flood peaks and volumes, soil-water relationships, sediment yields, and groundwater recharge.

Multiple-regression techniques were used to define the relationship between a suite of basin and climatic characteristics and flood peaks in three flood-frequency regions at a total of 95 sites. Station flood-frequency data were computed following guidelines in Bulletin 17A of the U.S. Water Resources Council. The frequency analyses are based upon weighted skew values, adjustments for high and low outliers, and historic peak data. \r\n\r\nRegression equations for estimation of peak discharges for 0.5, 0.2, 0.1, 0.04, 0.02, and 0.01 exceedance probabilities are provided for ungaged sites. An improved sample of flood peaks and gaging stations and the definition of three flood-frequency regions reduced the standard errors of estimate by about 5 percent over those for the 1977 relations. Included in this analysis were the synthetic flood-frequency data at 8 sites computed using historic climatic data and 10 parameters optimized by calibration of the U.S. Geological Survey's rainfall-runoff model with storm data observed over 11 years. \r\n\r\nThe equations are applicable to streams unaffected by regulation where the usable manmade storage is less than 4.5 million cubic feet per square mile, or by diversions or urbanization. The equations are restricted to sites where the basin indices are within a specified range outside of eastern Plymouth, Barnstable, Dukes, or Nantucket Counties. In these areas, the available data do not adequately define the influence of high infiltration and storage capacities of drainage basins on floodflows.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey ;\r\nU.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp2214","usgsCitation":"Wandle, S.W., 1983, Estimating peak discharges of small, rural streams in Massachusetts: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 2214, iv, 26 p. :ill. ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp2214.","productDescription":"iv, 26 p. :ill. ;28 cm.","numberOfPages":"30","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":139002,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/2214/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":29517,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/2214/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a7fe4b07f02db64867b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wandle, S.
