Many important problems still remain to be solved, however, and it is in no sense a final report.</p>\n<p>The report covers the area immediately surrounding Atlantic City, extending from Brigantine to Sea Isle City along the coast and from Absecon to Somers Point on the mainland. In addition to this, a few data are presented bearing on the area along the coast as far south as Wildwood. The area lies in the southern part of the New Jersey Coastal Plain, and the water-bearing formations considered are all unconsolidated and of Miocene or more recent age. The major formations in the region dip gently toward the ocean and possibly extend out under the ocean to the edge of the Continental Shelf, about 100 miles from Atlantic City. The principal ground-water supplies in the area are derived from the so-called \"800-foot sand,\" a member of the Kirkwood formation, and from the overlying Cohansey sands. The 800-foot sand is of wide extent and apparently fairly uniform. The Cohansey sands, on the other hand, cover a wide area but are by no means uniform. At the Atlantic City Water Works two Cohansey sands are recognized-the so-called \"100-foot\" and \"200-foot\" sands. Neither of these sands can be differentiated from the other sands of the Cohansey formation over a distance greater than 4 or 5 miles in any direction.</p>\n<p>In addition to the supplies derived from ground water, some surface water is used at present by two of the public water supplies. The quality of the water from all the sources of supply now used is satisfactory. The total consumption of water in the region has increased gradually over the entire period of record, except for a moderate decline from 1929 to 1934. Additional water supplies can be obtained from either of two fairly large streams near the region, and possibly also from a more widespread development of the Cohansey sands. The 800-foot sand should not be counted upon as a source of additional water supply, in view of its liability to salt-water contamination. The same danger also exists in the Cohansey sands on the mainland near the shore, but farther inland it is not a serious menace to the supply from these sands</p>\n<p>The 100-foot sand at the Atlantic City Water Work has been overdeveloped since 1930, with the result that the head of the water in it has been lowered materially and salt water has been drawn into it through holes in the overlying clay beneath the nearby salt marshes. Three of the five new large-capacity wells drilled to this sand in 1930 have been temporarily or permanently abandoned on account of salt-water intrusion, and the two others will probably have to be abandoned also, unless suitable remedial measures are promptly adopted. It is recommended that the wells to the 100-foot sand be used only when needed to supply the seasonal peak demand and that consideration be given to a project to transform the tidal marshes into a fresh-water pond by means of a suitable dam in order to protect the formation from further contamination. If detailed study proves that the dam and fresh-water pond would not be economically justified, a smaller pond and an embankment and tide gates on the main stream to keep the salt water from flooding the marshes are recommended as less effective but less expensive remedial measures. In view of the experience with the 100-foot sand at the Atlantic City Water Works, it is further recommended that any additional development of the Cohansey sands be preceded by a comprehensive test-well program that will indicate not only the capacity of the sands, but the location of salt water in them and the possibility of its being drawn into existing wells or the proposed new wells.</p>\n<p>The salt-water intrusion into the 100-foot sand was effectively studied by means of driven-well points, which, it was found, could easily be driven to a depth of about 100 feet. The fact that the screen of these wells was driven with the casing and that no water was used in the drilling process made it possible to collect true samples of water from every sand encountered in them. This, in turn, made it possible to study the vertical distribution of salt water in each well. The interpretation of the vertical distribution of salt water in these wells was very helpful in arriving at a final decision as to the source of the salt water.</p>\n<p>The 200-foot sand at the Atlantic City Water Works has also been subjected to a considerably increased draft since 1930. Although there is no evidence at present that this sand has been overdeveloped, a study of its characteristics suggests that it may not be capable of yielding permanently the capacity of the present wells that tap it. Three test wells have been installed between the well field and the source from which this sand might derive salt water, and they should be sampled regularly to determine the danger of salt-water intrusion into the sand. In a landward direction this sand merges into the other Cohansey sands. It is therefore advisable that any additional development of the Cohansey sands should be undertaken so far inland that the pumping from it will not affect the present wells to the 200-foot sand and thereby increase the danger of salt-water contamination in them.</p>\n<p>At present more potable water is taken from the Atlantic City 800-foot sand than from any other source of supply for the region. This sand is the sole source for some of the smaller communities on the barrier beaches. The original static head of the water in it at Atlantic City was between 20 and 25 feet above sea level. The head has been lowered more than 50 feet over much of the region, &nbsp;and in parts of Atlantic City it has been lowered considerably more than 100 feet. A consideration of the principles governing the relation between salt water and fresh water in water-bearing sands indicates that the 800-foot sand probably contained salt water at a distance of 5 or 10 miles out from Atlantic City before any water was pumped from it. The evidence collected in this investigation indicates that the cone of depression created by the pumping from this sand in the Atlantic City region has probably extended inland to the intake area of the sand, the nearest part of which is probably about 40 miles from Atlantic City. If this is so, the conclusion is almost inescapable that it has also extended oceanward for a distance considerably greater than the 5 or 10 miles to the original zone of contact between the fresh and salt waters, and that salt water is probably being drawn toward the Atlantic City region through this sand. The time of its arrival will depend primarily upon the rate of pumping in the region and upon how much of the fresh water that originally lay between the region and the zone of contact must be removed before the salt water can reach the region. It may arrive in the near future if it advances in the form of a narrow tongue. On the other hand, if it advances along a broader front; so that more of the intervening fresh water must be pumped out of the formation, its arrival may be delayed for some time.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"State of New Jersey State Water Policy Commission","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey","usgsCitation":"Barksdale, H.C., Sundstrom, R.W., and Brunstein, M.S., 1936, Supplementary report on the ground-water supplies of the Atlantic City region: Special Report 6, 150 p.","productDescription":"150 p.","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":310010,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/70159187.jpg"},{"id":311253,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/unnumbered/70159187/report.pdf","text":"Report","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"},"description":"Report"}],"country":"United States","state":"New Jersey","otherGeospatial":"Atlantic City, Brigantine, Somers Point, Sea Isle City, Absecon","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -74.49554443359375,\n              39.528407312645825\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.29229736328125,\n              39.49874248613119\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.33624267578125,\n              39.4255858195144\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.38842773437499,\n              39.37677199661635\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.47219848632812,\n              39.31623792008409\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.54360961914062,\n              39.299236474818194\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.59854125976562,\n              39.24182610848299\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.70840454101561,\n              39.118341154165186\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.73175048828124,\n              39.11407918425643\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.77294921875,\n              39.132190775931036\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.77706909179688,\n              39.14603767446419\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.63973999023438,\n              39.301361881349244\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.5697021484375,\n              39.42346418978382\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.49554443359375,\n              39.528407312645825\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"5623712fe4b06217fc47deab","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Barksdale, Henry C.","contributorId":11463,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Barksdale","given":"Henry","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":577791,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Sundstrom, Raymond W.","contributorId":8080,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Sundstrom","given":"Raymond","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":577792,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Brunstein, Maurice S.","contributorId":149293,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Brunstein","given":"Maurice","email":"","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":577793,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

Several thousand determinations of these characteristics have been made and averaged from more than 800 lithologic units from many areas in the California, Rocky Mountain, Mid Continent, East Texas, and Gulf Coast oil regions. The thickness of these units ranges from 50 ft. to 500 ft. Each of them has been classified according to its probable richness in source material of petroleum. Nearness to producing zones has been the basis of classification, as it seems more reasonable to assume that oil in general accumulates near where it is generated than to assume that it ordinarily accumulates far from where it is made. Three classes were made: 1, lithologic units within 250 ft. stratigraphically above or below an oil zone and less than 2 miles from an oil field; 2, (a) units within 500 ft. above or below an oil zone and within 15 miles of an oil field (excluding, of course, those that belong to the first class) and (b) units within 250 ft. stratigraphically of a horizon and more than 15 miles distant from an oil field, provided the unit is located within a region in which the horizon is generally productive of oil or yields significant quantity of oily substances when extracted with ether; and, 3, all other beds, viz., those more than 500 ft. above or below an oil horizon or more than 15 miles distant from an oil field and beds at greater distance if they are within 250 ft. of horizons that generally contain oil in the area. These three classes are designated in this report as \" productive,\" \" questionably productive,\" and \" barren.\" \" Productive \" units naturally may contain spine beds that are poor in source material, and \" barren \" units may contain beds that are rich in source material; but, on the whole, the \" productive \" units-because of their nearness to oil zones-are more likely' to be richer in mother substances of petroleum than are the \" barren \" units. Each of the eight characteristics was averaged for each of the three classes of productivity, for each of the five oil areas: California, Rocky Mountains, Mid Continent, East Texas, and Gulf Coast. The average organic content of the \"productive\" and \" barren \" units was found to be approximately the same in each region studied, from which it is inferred that the quantity of organic matter in a sediment probably is not a reliable guide of the ability of the sediments to generate oil. The average reducing power of the \" productive \" beds is slightly greater than that of the \"barren\"; but the difference is so slight that the reducing power, also, probably is not a satisfactory guide to source beds. The color of, the sediments, in general, becomes darker as the organic content of the sediments increases; and, as the organic content seems to be a poor index of source beds, color presumably is not a serviceable means of recognizing source beds. The volatility of the \" productive \" beds is greater than that of the \" barren \" units in each of the five regions, but it differs so much from region to region that it cannot be used as an index of source beds unless the general volatility of the sediments in the region under consideration is known. For example, the average volatility of the \" barren \" units in California and the Rocky Mountain regions is greater than that of the \" productive \" units in the Mid Continent, East Texas, and Gulf Coast areas. The degree of volatility differs less from region to region than does the volatility, and in general exhibits a relationship to productivity equally as good as the volatility. The average ratio of carbon to nitrogen in each of the three regions from which data are available-Rocky Mountains, Mid Continent, and East Texas-is higher for \" productive \" beds than for \" barren \" units, but the ratio differs somewhat from one region to another. The oxidation factor of the \" productive \" units is approximately the same as that of the \" barren \" units in the Rocky Mountain region and in the East Texas region, but not in the Mid Continent region-where the oxidation factor of the \" productive \" units is definitely lower than that of the \" barren \" units. The average nitrogen-reduction ratio of the \" productive \" units is decidedly greater than that of the \" barren \" units in each of the five regions studied; and it, therefore, is the most reliable of the guides studied. Relatively few \" productive \" units have nitrogen-reduction ratios greater than 7.0, and relatively few \" barren \" units have ratios of less than 4.5. A considerable number of both \" productive \" and \" barren \" units have ratios ranging between 4.5 and 7.0, but even between these limits the productive units tend to be more commonly associated with low ratios than are the \" barren \" units. Four of these eight characteristics-volatility, degree of volatility, carbon-nitrogen ratio, and nitrogen-reduction ratio-therefore, give promise of being useful means of recognizing source beds; and one of them, the nitrogen-reduction ratio, is particularly encouraging. Additional studies of these four characteristics, and especially of the nitrogen-reduction ratio, are highly desirable.</span></p>","conferenceTitle":"Drilling and Production Practice 1936","conferenceLocation":"New York, New York","language":"English","publisher":"American Petroleum Institute","usgsCitation":"Trask, P., and Patnode, H., 1936, Means of recognizing source beds, Drilling and Production Practice 1936, New York, New York, p. 368-384.","productDescription":"17 p.","startPage":"368","endPage":"384","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":378147,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Trask, P.D.","contributorId":12545,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Trask","given":"P.D.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":797960,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Patnode, H.W.","contributorId":108170,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Patnode","given":"H.W.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":797961,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Wells start in the upper part of the Pierre and penetrate all of the underlying Upper Cretaceous series to the top of the Dakota sandstone, where production of oil and carbon dioxide is obtained.

A detailed report on the subject was submitted in the spring of 1925 to the State Survey for publication as a bulletin, and the writing of the present report was completed in March, 1926. The field work was done mainly between October 22 and November 2, 1921, and April 26 and July 18, 1923; but in October, 1924, a visit was made to the mine at Napier. The writer was assisted in the field in 1921 by. R. W. Smith, assistant geologist, and in 1923 by C. C. Anderson, topographer, both of the Tennessee Survey. Mr. Wilbur A. Nelson, State geologist at the time the work was in progress, visited several mines with the writer and on these occasions as well as many times during the preparation of the report rendered helpful suggestions and guidance. Mr. H. D. Miser, of the United States Geological Survey, State geologist from September 1, 1925, to July 1, 1926, who is especially familiar with the southern part of this area, also cooperated heartily in the preparation of this report; and Mr. H. W. Davis, of the United States Bureau of Mines, compiled the statistical data on iron ore and pig iron. To all these gentlemen the writer desires to express his appreciation.

The data presented in this report show that the variation in annual run-off differs in different areas in the Rocky Mountain region, owing to the differences in the sources of the precipitation in these areas. Except in the drainage basins of streams in northern Montana the year of lowest run-off shown by the records was 1902, when the run-ff at one station was only 36 per cent of the mean run-ff for the periods covered by the several records available. The percentage variation of run-ff for streams in different parts of Colorado is less for any one year than that for streams in the mountain region as a whole, and for streams in the same major drainage basin the annual variation is markedly similar. The influence of topography upon variation in annual run-ff for streams in Colorado is marked, the streams that rise in the central mountain region having a smaller range in variation than the streams that rise on the eastern or western edges of the central mountain mass. The streams that rise on the plains just east of the mountains have a greater variation than those of any of the mountain groups.</p>\n<br/>\n<p>The ratio of any 10-year mean to the mean for the entire period covered by the records ranges from 72 to 133 per cent. For the South Platte, Arkansas, and Rio Grande the run-off during the nineties was below the normal, but since about 1903 it has been above normal. For the Cache la Poudre low-water periods occurred during the eighties and from 1905 to 1922, but during the nineties the run-off was above the normal.</p>","largerWorkType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"largerWorkTitle":"Contributions to the hydrology of the United States, 1923-1924 (Water Supply Paper 520)","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Government Printing Office","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.3133/wsp520A","collaboration":"This report is Chapter A in <i>Contributions to the hydrology of the United States, 1923-1924</i>.

In 1882 a well was drilled to the Dakota sandstone at Aberdeen, S. Dak., by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway Co. This well was reported by Nettleton<sup>1</sup> to have been \"the first bore put down which reached the artesian basin of the Dakotas.\" In 1896 Darton<sup>2</sup> estimated that about 400 artesian wells had been drilled to the Dakota sandstone, presumably in South Dakota and adjacent parts of the artesian basin in North Dakota which he investigated.<sup>3</sup> The strongest of these wells had pressures ranging from 100 to more than 200 pounds to the square inch and flows ranging from 1,000 to more than 4,000 gallons a minute.</p>\n<br/>\n<p>The present brief paper is based chiefly on the data that have been obtained in the successive surveys in regard to about 230 artesian wells in or near the Edgeley quadrangle.
