The aquifer covers about a third of the 79 mi 2 (205 km2) study area, occurring mainly in stream valleys that are less than a mi le wide. Its saturated thickness is commonly 40 to 60ft (12 to 18 m); its transmissivity is commonly 5,000 to 8,000 ft 2/day (460 to 740m2 /day). The aquifer is hydraulically connected to streams that cross it and much of the water from heavily pumped wells will consist of infiltration induced from them. Potential sustained yield from most parts of the aquifer is limited chiefly by the rate at which infiltration can be induced from streams or low streamflow, whichever is smaller. Ground-water withdrawals deplete streamflow; and if large-scale development of ground water is not carefully planned and managed, periods of no streamflow may result during dry weather. Potential sustained yield varies with the scheme of well development, and is evaluated for selected areas by mathematically simulating pumping from assumed schemes of well Is in models of the stream-aquifer system. Results indicate that sustained yields of 5.5, 3.4, 1.6, and 1.3 mgd (0.24, 0.15, 0.07, and 0.06 m3 /s) can be obtained from the stratified-drift aquifer near Slatersville, Oakland, Harrisville, and Chepachet, respectively. Pumping at these rates will not cause streams to go dry, if the water is returned to streams near points of withdrawal. A larger ground-water yield can be obtained, if periods of no streamflow along reaches of principal streams are acceptable. Inorganic chemical quality of water in the stream-aquifer system is suitable for most purposes; the water is soft, slightly acidic, and generally contains less than 100 milligrams per litre of dissolved sol ids. Continued good quality ground water depends on maintenance of good quality of water in streams, because much of the water pumped from wells will be infiltrated from streams.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wri7418","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Rhode Island Water Resources Board","usgsCitation":"Johnston, H., and Dickerman, D., 1974, Availability of ground water in the Branch River basin; Providence County, Rhode Island: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-18, Report: v, 39 p.; 1 Plate: 34.54 x 39.14 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/wri7418.","productDescription":"Report: v, 39 p.; 1 Plate: 34.54 x 39.14 inches","numberOfPages":"46","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":158656,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/wri7418.jpg"},{"id":311731,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1974/0018/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":311732,"rank":3,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1974/0018/plate-1.pdf","text":"Plate 1","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Rhode Island","county":"Providence County","otherGeospatial":"Branch River","geographicExtents":"{\"type\":\"FeatureCollection\",\"features\":[{\"type\":\"Feature\",\"geometry\":{\"type\":\"Polygon\",\"coordinates\":[[[-71.4983,42.0169],[-71.4266,42.0187],[-71.3797,42.0191],[-71.3806,41.985],[-71.3817,41.9427],[-71.3824,41.8915],[-71.3386,41.8983],[-71.3373,41.8937],[-71.3386,41.891],[-71.3398,41.8874],[-71.3392,41.8824],[-71.3368,41.8733],[-71.3356,41.8678],[-71.3337,41.861],[-71.3331,41.8574],[-71.3337,41.8538],[-71.3356,41.8497],[-71.3387,41.8429],[-71.3393,41.841],[-71.3387,41.8392],[-71.3381,41.8374],[-71.3369,41.8351],[-71.3369,41.8329],[-71.3387,41.8302],[-71.3406,41.8279],[-71.3437,41.8242],[-71.3437,41.8211],[-71.3443,41.8174],[-71.3425,41.8129],[-71.3406,41.8093],[-71.3406,41.8056],[-71.3406,41.8029],[-71.3406,41.7997],[-71.3394,41.797],[-71.3376,41.7952],[-71.3345,41.7925],[-71.3314,41.7897],[-71.3302,41.7865],[-71.329,41.7838],[-71.3271,41.7811],[-71.3259,41.7793],[-71.318,41.7759],[-71.3518,41.7534],[-71.3537,41.7502],[-71.3604,41.7493],[-71.3604,41.7566],[-71.3635,41.7625],[-71.3684,41.7638],[-71.3715,41.767],[-71.3672,41.7761],[-71.3696,41.7829],[-71.3727,41.7911],[-71.377,41.7993],[-71.3868,41.807],[-71.388,41.8083],[-71.3862,41.8147],[-71.3812,41.8224],[-71.3744,41.8324],[-71.3701,41.8401],[-71.3695,41.8474],[-71.3689,41.8533],[-71.375,41.8583],[-71.3806,41.8506],[-71.3812,41.8469],[-71.3824,41.8429],[-71.3825,41.8392],[-71.3855,41.8356],[-71.388,41.8306],[-71.393,41.8179],[-71.3966,41.8174],[-71.4028,41.8197],[-71.4047,41.8179],[-71.3985,41.8065],[-71.3967,41.8025],[-71.393,41.7997],[-71.3887,41.7984],[-71.3856,41.7952],[-71.3838,41.7929],[-71.3844,41.7902],[-71.3887,41.787],[-71.3893,41.782],[-71.3881,41.7752],[-71.3863,41.7689],[-71.385,41.7639],[-71.3857,41.7607],[-71.3881,41.7634],[-71.3924,41.7666],[-71.3979,41.7711],[-71.3998,41.7707],[-71.4016,41.768],[-71.409,41.7671],[-71.4146,41.7648],[-71.4177,41.7639],[-71.4207,41.7648],[-71.4244,41.7607],[-71.4306,41.7603],[-71.4343,41.7607],[-71.4373,41.7598],[-71.4392,41.7575],[-71.441,41.7539],[-71.4417,41.7525],[-71.4435,41.7516],[-71.446,41.7498],[-71.446,41.748],[-71.4447,41.7421],[-71.4472,41.7394],[-71.4521,41.7358],[-71.4583,41.7308],[-71.6102,41.7275],[-71.7904,41.7232],[-71.7937,41.8154],[-71.7963,41.9184],[-71.7968,41.9376],[-71.7971,41.9588],[-71.7979,42.0089],[-71.6681,42.0122],[-71.5588,42.0153],[-71.5366,42.0159],[-71.4983,42.0169]]]},\"properties\":{\"name\":\"Providence\",\"state\":\"RI\"}}]}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a9be4b07f02db65e241","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Johnston, H.E.","contributorId":27070,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Johnston","given":"H.E.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":198896,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Dickerman, D.C.","contributorId":48601,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Dickerman","given":"D.C.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":198897,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The Chicot aquifer overlies the Evangeline aquifer, which is underlain by the Burkeville confining layer. Both aquifers consist of unconsolidated and discontinuous layers of sand and clay that dip toward the Gulf of Mexico. Heavy pumping of fresh water has caused large declines in the altitudes of the potentiometric surfaces in both aquifers and has created large cones of depression around Houston. The declines have caused compaction of clay layers, which has resulted in land surface subsidence and the movement of saline ground water toward the centers of the cones of depression. An electric analog model was used to study the hydrologic system and to simulate the declines in the altitudes of the potentiometric surfaces for several alternative plans of ground-water development. The results indicate that the largest part. of the pumped water comes from storage in the water-table part of the Chicot aquifer. Vertical leakage from the aquifers and water derived from the compaction of clay layers in the aquifers are also large sources of the water being pumped. The response of the system, as observed on the model, indicates that development of additional ground-water supplies from the water-table part of the Chicot aquifer north of Houston would result in a minimum decline of the altitudes of the potentiometric surfaces. Total withdrawals of about 1,000 million gallons (5.8 million cubic meters) per day may be possible without seriously, increasing subsidence or salt-water encroachment. Analyses of the recovery of water levels indicate that both land-surface subsidence and salt-water encroachment could be reduced by artificially recharging the artesian part of the aquifer.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/ofr74113","usgsCitation":"Jorgensen, D.G., 1974, Analog-model studies of ground-water hydrology in the Houston

The model was calibrated by using observed rainfall and runoff data from 19 storms in six basins having various degrees of urbanization. The calibrated models were used with a 57- year rainfall record to simulate 57-year records of annual peak discharges in 14 basins. The flood-frequency characteristics were defined by fitting the simulated 57-year records to log-Pearson Type III distributions.</p>\n<p>Regional peak-discharge equations, which can be used to determine the maximum rates of discharge that could be expected to be equaled or exceeded on the average of once in 1.25, 2, 5, 10, 25, and 100 years, were derived from multiple-regression analyses. The relationships among flood frequency, drainage area, and a coefficient of impervious area are given in a nomograph.</p>\n<p>The analyses indicate that in a fully-developed residential area, the flood peaks will be 1.2 to 1.4 times those from an undeveloped area; and the annual direct runoff will be about double that from an undeveloped area. Data were not sufficient to determine the increase in runoff from a highly industrialized area where the effective imperviousness approaches 100 percent.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wri7360","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the city of Dallas","usgsCitation":"Dempster, G.R., 1974, Effects of urbanization on floods in the Dallas, Texas metropolitan area: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-60, iv, 51 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri7360.","productDescription":"iv, 51 p.","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":583,"text":"Texas Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":258751,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1973/0060/report.pdf","size":"3424","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":258752,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1973/0060/report-thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a4ae4b07f02db624dee","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Dempster, George R.

The surface-water and ground-water systems in the Piceance basin are intimately related. The annual volume of runoff from the basin (Piceance and Yellow Creeks) is estimated to be 15,650 acre-feet (19.2 cubic hectometres). About 80 percent of the annual runoff is supplied by ground-water discharge.</p><p>Runoff from the basin is affected by irrigation diversions and consumptive use by crops, native vegetation, and evporation. Streamflow depletions resulting from irrigation are estimated to be 4,800 acre-feet (5.9 cubic hectometres) per year. In the absence of irrigation, the mean annual runoff from the basin would be 20,450 acre-feet (25.2 cubic hectometres). The period of lowest flow normally occurs during spring and summer when irrigation diversions are greatest. Peak flows from snowmelt and thunderstorms also occur during this period. A regional analysis, using the index-flood method, was made to estimate flood frequencies in the absence of irrigation diversions for the gaging stations Piceance Creek at White River and Yellow Creek near White River. The estimated mean annual floods are 800 cubic feet per second (22.7 cubic metres per second) for Piceance Creek and 390 cubic feet per second (11.0 cubic metres per second) for Yellow Creek. The peak flow observed during the 5 years of record on Piceance Creek at White River was 407 cubic feet per second (11.5 cubic metres per second) or about one-half the estimated mean annual flood. Yellow Creek is only slightly affected by irrigation diversions and the peak flow for the single year of record was 468 cubic feet per second (13.3 cubic metres per second).</p><p>Irrigation return flows and ground-water discharge affect the quality of surface water in the Piceance basin. The concentration of dissolved solids ranges from less than 500 milligrams per litre in the upper reaches to more than 5,000 milligrams per litre in the lower reaches of Piceance Creek and from about 700 to 3,000 milligrams per litre in Yellow Creek. Water quality decreases in the downstream direction due to ground-water discharge from the Green River and Uinta Formations.</p><p>The ground-water system in the basin consists of two principal aquifers separated by the Mahogany zone in the Green River Formation. Recharge to the aquifers occurs mainly from snowmelt along the basin margins above 7,000 feet (2,130 metres) altitude. Ground water flows from the basin margins toward the north-central part of the basin where it is discharged in Piceance and Yellow Creek valleys as evapotranspiration and streamflow. Recharge and discharge from the aquifer system are estimated to average 26,100 acre-feet (32.2 cubic hectometres) annually. About 20 percent of the recharge is discharged in Yellow Creek drainage. Estimates of the volume of water in storage in the aquifers range from 2.5 to 25 million acre-feet (3,100 to 31,000 cubic hectometres).</p><p>Sodium minerals in the aquifer below the Mahogany zone are actively being dissolved by ground water. The Mahogany zone impedes the flow of water between the aquifers and large chemical differences have developed. Water in the upper aquifer generally has less than 2,000 millgrams per litre dissolved solids while that in the lower aquifer exceeds 30,000 milligrams per litre dissolved solids in the northern part of the basin.</p><p>Digital models were used to simulate the hydrologic system. A watershed model was adapted to the drainage above the gage on Piceance Creek below Ryan Gulch to evaluate the possible effects of precipitation changes on the hydrologic system due to the introduction of atmospheric pollutants from oil-shale development or cloud seeding. A 10-percent decrease and 10- and 20-percent increases in the October to May precipitation were examined. It was found that each 10-percent change in precipitation results in a 40-percent change in ground-water recharge. The model study indicates that a 10-percent decrease in October-May precipitation results in a 30-percent decrease in mean annual runoff while 10-and 20-percent increases in precipitation result in 40- and 85 percent increases in mean annual runoff.</p><p>A digital model of the ground-water system was used to evaluate the effects of mine dewatering on the hydrologic system. Hypothetical mines in oil-shale lease tracts C-a and C-b were considered. Both mines were assumed to be in the Mahogany zone and to be 4 square miles (5.2 square kilometres) in area. Dewatering of the mines was assumed to occur simultaneously for a period of 30 years. For the hypothetical dewatering scheme simulated, the model study indicates that the mine in tract C-a will not produce enough water to meet the demand for processing and disposal of oil shale while the mine in tract C-b will produce water in excess of the demand. The concentration of dissolved solids of the water discharged from the mines may not exceed 5,000 milligrams per litre for the hypothetical dewatering scheme considered.</p><p>Dewatering the hypothetical mines will only slightly affect groundwater discharge in the Yellow Creek drainage. However, after 30 years of dewatering, the model indicates that ground-water discharge will cease in a 10-mile (16-kilometre) reach of Piceance Creek near tract C-b.</p><p>The decrease in ground-water discharge in this reach could cause an increase in the concentration of dissolved solids in the downstream reach of Piceance Creek. After 30 years of dewatering, the hydraulic head in the aquifers is decreased in 75 percent of the basin area and about 500,000 acre-feet (620 cubic hectometres) of water are removed from storage in the aquifers.</p><p>It is concluded that oil-shale development will have significant effects on the surface- and ground-waters systems in the Piceance basin.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/ofr74255","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Natural Resources","usgsCitation":"Weeks, J., Leavesley, G.H., Welder, F.A., and Saulnier, G.J., 1974, Simulated effects of oil-shale development on the hydrology of Piceance basin, Colorado: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 74-255, ix, 142 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr74255.","productDescription":"ix, 142 p.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":422907,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1974/0255/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":150407,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1974/0255/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","otherGeospatial":"Piceance basin","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -108.97161944613201,\n              40.667915697093264\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.97161944613201,\n              39.34681427946842\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.64227374300692,\n              39.34681427946842\n            ],\n            [\n              -107.64227374300692,\n              40.667915697093264\n            ],\n            [\n              -108.97161944613201,\n              40.667915697093264\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49f9e4b07f02db5f35b2","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Weeks, John B.","contributorId":36123,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Weeks","given":"John B.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":172902,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Leavesley, George H. george@usgs.gov","contributorId":1202,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Leavesley","given":"George","email":"george@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":172900,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Welder, Frank A.","contributorId":32173,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Welder","given":"Frank","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":172901,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Saulnier, George J.

Evidence of large amounts of uplift continuing into historic time includes structurally overturned strata of Pleistocene age, active thrust faulting, demonstrable stream antecedence, uplifted and deformed terraces, and other results of base-level change seen in stream channels. Such evidence is widespread in the Transverse Ranges, and aspects of the landscape, such as drainage-net characteristics and hillslope morphology, are locally more a function of tectonic activity than of denudational process. Many of the 72 study watersheds are located on frontal escarpments of mountain blocks cut by recently active thrust faults, along which the upper part of the drainage basin has overthrusted either the lower part of the basin or the adjacent valley area.</p><p>To define erosion rates in 35 small watersheds in the western Transverse Ranges, a group of 37 similar watersheds with measured sediment yields in debris basins was selected from the eastern Transverse Ranges in Los Angeles County. Sediment yields from this group of watersheds during the record-breaking 1969 storms ranged from relatively low rates to values equivalent to reduction of the entire land surface of a watershed by more than 2 inches.</p><p>Correlation of erosion rates from the watersheds with measured rates to the group with unknown rates required definition of the chief factors that control the erosion rates. Numerous types and combinations of variables measuring physiography, soil erodibility, slope stability, hydrologic factors, wildfire effects, vegetation, and land use were analyzed by regression. A slope-stability variable retained in regressions at significant levels was the proportion of watershed drainage area underlain by slope failures, a logical measure of increased erodibility caused by uplift.</p><p>The importance in the area of debris flows, mudflows, and mass movements--forms of sediment transport not involving normal aqueous entrainment--is also a reflection of the active tectonic setting of the Transverse Ranges. Implicit in the detailed study of selected physiographic and slope-failure variables was the logical assumption that correlation with the probability of transport by these exotic but quantitatively important sedimentation processes would be achieved.</p><p>So prominent and widespread was evidence of debris flows in the small study watersheds after the 1969 storms, that it was possible to formulate a model for the dispersal of sediment in such watersheds: Lateral supply of sediment to stream channels is a relatively continuous process, accomplished in significant part during the dry season by dry-sliding, in addition to wet-season contributions from overland flow and mass movements. During periods without major storms, stream channels undergo more-or-less time-continuous fill. Then, during a storm of high recurrence interval, channel-bed material is mobilized and dispersed in large part by debris flows--coarse granular slurries, some of which are induced by mass movements triggered by the storm. Channels undergo substantial net scour, accomplished by removal of bed material in debris flows and by scour during recession flow. Valley-side slopes are undercut by bank erosion, and a new cycle of channel infilling by hillslope processes is initiated.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wri7347","usgsCitation":"Scott, K.M., and Williams, R.P., 1974, Erosion and sediment yields in mountain watersheds of the Transverse Ranges Ventura and Los Angeles Counties, California; analysis of rates and processes: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 73-47, v, 66 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri7347.","productDescription":"v, 66 p.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":159718,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1973/0047/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":358979,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1973/0047/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"country":"United States","state":"California","county":"Los Angeles County, Ventura County","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -119.25,\n              34\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.75,\n              34\n            ],\n            [\n              -117.75,\n              34.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.25,\n              34.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -119.25,\n              34\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a0ee4b07f02db5fdf6f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Scott, Kevin M.","contributorId":88331,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Scott","given":"Kevin","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":617,"text":"Volcano Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":201866,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Williams, Rhea P.","contributorId":87114,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Williams","given":"Rhea","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":201865,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The portion considered in this report is the area from the Yukon River south to Isabel Pass in the Alaska Range. \r\n\r\nThe occurrences of aufeis gave the appearance of four rather distinct modes of formation. In the area south of Big Delta, the icings occurred as seepage at the toes of the terraces and along the bottoms of the stream channels cutting into the terraces. In the Yukon-Tanana uplands, the icings occurred generally as seepage at the lowest points in the U-shaped valleys and along the surfaces of the streams in the tributary valleys incised into the rolling hills. The icings formed in the stream channels in both regions have similar hydraulic considerations as do the icings formed in the lower part of the valleys at the toes of the terraces. \r\n\r\nAerial techniques of collecting data by photography and thermal imagery were tested in this setting as a basis for consideration in planning for potential environmental monitoring of the pipeline.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/ofr77643","usgsCitation":"Skibitzke, H.E., 1974, Some aspects of remote sensing for consideration in planning for environmental monitoring of the Alyeska Pipeline, Alaska: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 77-643, 32 leaves, 11 fold. ill. :ill., maps ;28 cm.; (33 p., 9 sheets - PGS), https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr77643.","productDescription":"32 leaves, 11 fold. ill. :ill., maps ;28 cm.; (33 p., 9 sheets - PGS)","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":144517,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":38951,"rank":405,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/plate-6.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":38952,"rank":406,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/plate-7.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":38953,"rank":407,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/plate-8.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":38954,"rank":408,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/plate-9.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":38955,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":38946,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":38947,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":38948,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":38949,"rank":403,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/plate-4.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":38950,"rank":404,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1977/0643/plate-5.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49e9e4b07f02db5e94c6","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Skibitzke, Herbert E.","contributorId":32142,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Skibitzke","given":"Herbert","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":162687,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Predictive modeling, monitoring, and management of radionuclides dissolved and transported by ground water can best be done for sites in relatively simple hydrogeologic settings; namely, in unfaulted relatively flat-lying strata of intermediate permeability such as silt, siltstone and silty sandstone. In contrast, dense fractured or soluble media, and poorly permeable porous media (aquitards) are not suitable for use as burial sites, first because of media heterogeneity and difficulties of sampling, and consequently of predictive modeling, and second, because in humid zones burial trenches in aquitards may overflow. A buffer zone several thousands of feet to perhaps several miles around existing or proposed sites is a mandatory consequence of the site selection criteria. As a specific example, the Maxey Flats, Kentucky low-level waste disposal site is examined.

This model proposes that the NTS is undergoing extension in a N. 50 ? W.-S. 50 ? E. direction coincident with the minimum principal stress direction. The model is supported by (1) a tectonic similarity between a belt of NTS Quaternary faulting and part of the Nevada-California seismic belt, for which northwest-southeast extension has been suggested; (2) historic northeast- trending natural- and explosion-produced fractures in the NTS; (3) the virtual absence in the NTS of northwest-trending Quaternary faults; (4) the character of north-trending faults and basin configuration in the Yucca Flat area, which suggest a component of right-lateral displacement and post-10 m.y. (million year) oblique separation of the sides of the north-trending depression; (5) seismic evidence suggesting a north- to northwest-trending tension axis; (6) strain measurements, which indicate episodes of northwest-southeast extension within a net northeast-southwest compression; (7) a stress estimate based on tectonic cracking that indicates near-surface northwest-southeast-directed tension, and two stress measurements indicating an excess (tectonic) maximum principal compressive stress in a northeast-southwest direction at depths of about 1,000 feet (305 m); and (8) enlargement of some drill holes in Yucca Flat in a northwest-southeast direction. \r\n\r\nIt is inferred that the stress episode resulting in the formation of deep alluvium-filled trenches began somewhere between 10 and possibly less than 4 m.y. ago in the NTS and is currently active. In the Walker Lane of western Nevada, crystallization of plutons associated with Miocene volcanism may have increased the competency and thickness of the crust and its ability to propagate stress, thereby modulating the frequency (spacing) of basin-range faults.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey,","doi":"10.3133/ofr74176","usgsCitation":"Carr, W.J., 1974, Summary of tectonic and structural evidence for stress orientation at the Nevada Test Site: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 74-176, iv, 53 leaves, 2 sheets :ill., maps (some folded) ;27 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr74176.","productDescription":"iv, 53 leaves, 2 sheets :ill., maps (some folded) ;27 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":146966,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1974/0176/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":41355,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1974/0176/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":41356,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1974/0176/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":41357,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1974/0176/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b01e4b07f02db6984ac","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Carr, Wilfred James","contributorId":12033,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carr","given":"Wilfred","email":"","middleInitial":"James","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":166957,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

The volume of ground water in storage in 1970 was about 86,000 acre-feet (106 cubic hectometres).</p><p>The digital-model analysis included building and verifying a steady-state and a non-steady-state model. The steady-state model was considered to be verified when the model-generated water levels approximated the measured 1949 water levels, which were assumed to represent steady-state water-level conditions. The non-steady-state model was verified for 1949-70, and the model satisfactorily reproduced the measured water-level changes for the study area during that period. Water-level changes in the ground-water basin were predicted from 1971 to 1980 using as representative average annual pumpage that from 1966 to 1970 and 1971. The model also predicted water-level changes from 1971 to 1980 using the maximum pumpage capacities of the wells under recharge conditions for average, wet, and dry periods.</p><p>The predicted water-level changes in the Oak Glen study area were used to calculate the average costs of pumping water for 1980. The comparable average costs of importing water from an alternative supply and the capital costs of well construction were also determined. The economic evaluation suggests the following: (1) Increase ground-water pumping for local use, (2) reduce well-water import to the lower parts of the Oak Glen study area from adjacent areas to the west, (3) short term prior to 1980 overdevelopment appears to be feasible with export to Yucaipa, and (4) tunnel development or new shallow wells at the higher altitudes could help alleviate the water problem.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wri7431","usgsCitation":"Powers, W.R., and Hardt, W.F., 1974, Oak Glen water-resources development study using modeling techniques, San Bernardino County, California: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 74-31, iv, 59 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri7431.","productDescription":"iv, 59 p.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":358949,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1974/0031/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":159426,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1974/0031/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"California","county":"San Bernardino County","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4afce4b07f02db69664c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Powers, William R.

Output of this program includes the fixed format CNTL data cards and the other data cards required for input to GPCP. The output from GPCP then is used to produce a potentiometric map or a decline map by means of the CalComp plotter.","language":"ENGLISH","doi":"10.3133/ofr741018","usgsCitation":"Cosner, O.J., and Horwich, E., 1974, Grid-coordinate generation program: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 74-1018, 27 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr741018.","productDescription":"27 leaves : ill. ; 29 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":172504,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1974/1018/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":84918,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1974/1018/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":84919,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1974/1018/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":84920,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1974/1018/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ab2e4b07f02db66ed20","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Cosner, Oliver J.","contributorId":38533,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Cosner","given":"Oliver","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":236997,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Horwich, Esther","contributorId":106557,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Horwich","given":"Esther","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":236998,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The ore consists of silver-lead-zinc veins clustered on the propylitic fringe of a geometrically complex system of altered rocks, which is centered on the intersection of the Oligocene Montezuma stock with the Montezuma shear zone of Precambrian ancestry. Alteration chemistry conforms to the standard porphyry-metal model but is developed around several small intrusives strung out along the shear zone and is expressed as a mottled pattern, rather than as the usual thick concentric zones centered on one large plug. The distribution of trace amounts of molybdenite is consistent with the postulate of molybdenite deposits in the district, but the mottled alteration pattern may signify small and scattered, possibly very deep, deposits. Disseminated molybdenite is essentially coextensive with altered rock and increases slightly in quantity toward the inner alteration zones. Two groups of molybdenite veins, associated with phyllic and potassic alteration, represent possible diffuse halos of molybdenite deposits. One group of veins resembles the Climax and Henderson deposits but was seen only in a small and isolated area of outcrops. The second group of molybdenite veins is in a bismuth-rich part of the Montezuma stock and underlies an area of bismuth veins; this group records the passage of contact metasomatic ore fluids. Another bismuth-rich area is in the southeast corner of the stock in a region of bismuth veins and may indicate a third group of molybdenite veins.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey],","doi":"10.3133/cir704","usgsCitation":"Neuerburg, G.J., Botinelly, T., and Watterson, J.R., 1974, Molybdenite in the Montezuma District of central Colorado: U.S. Geological Survey Circular 704, iii, 21 p. :illus. ;27 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/cir704.","productDescription":"iii, 21 p. :illus. ;27 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":124501,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1974/0704/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":30639,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/circ/1974/0704/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b04e4b07f02db69925f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Neuerburg, George J.","contributorId":103661,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Neuerburg","given":"George","email":"","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147243,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Botinelly, Theodore","contributorId":101253,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Botinelly","given":"Theodore","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147242,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Watterson, John R.","contributorId":67866,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Watterson","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":147241,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}
