Observation wells were drilled to characterize the surficial geologic materials of a field-scale study site and to provide locations for collecting waterlevel and agricultural-chemical data. Walnut Creek, a tributary to the South Skunk River, forms a lateral boundary on the northern edge of the field site. Water-level measurements showed a hydraulic-head gradient towards the South Skunk River under both wet and dry conditions at the study site. Walnut Creek appears to be losing water to the aquifer during most hydrologic conditions. More than 20 milligrams per liter of nitrate as nitrogen were present consistently in water from the southeastern part of the study site. Nitrate-as-nitrogen concentrations in water samples from other locations routinely did not exceed 10 milligrams per liter. The herbicide atrazine was detected most often, 36 of 38 times, in water samples collected from observation wells adjacent to Walnut Creek. Atrazine was not used on the study site during 1992-93 but was found frequently in water samples from Walnut Creek. Therefore, Walnut Creek appears to be a source of herbicide contamination to the alluvial aquifer.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Iowa City, IA","doi":"10.3133/wri944244","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency","usgsCitation":"Buchmiller, R.C., 1995, Hydrogeologic and agricultural-chemical data for the South Skunk River alluvial aquifer at a site in Story County, Iowa, 1992-93: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4244, iv, 29 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri944244.","productDescription":"iv, 29 p.","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":351,"text":"Iowa Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":55183,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1994/4244/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":118710,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1994/4244/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Iowa","county":"Story County","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -93.5526180267334,\n              41.939573518226936\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.55278968811035,\n              41.93574269317161\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.55819702148438,\n              41.93580654214154\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.56240272521973,\n              41.93574269317161\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.56549263000487,\n              41.93593423988966\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.56549263000487,\n              41.93874352565964\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.56489181518555,\n              41.93938198243946\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.56326103210449,\n              41.939509673028375\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.56042861938477,\n              41.939509673028375\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.55596542358397,\n              41.939637363361584\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.5526180267334,\n              41.939573518226936\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a50e4b07f02db628d5b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Buchmiller, Robert C.","contributorId":72372,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Buchmiller","given":"Robert","email":"","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":196302,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

The following statistics were calculated for selected streamflow-gaging stations: (1) mean annual and mean monthly discharge, and (2) lowest annual 7-day mean discharge for selected recurrence intervals.Values of lowest annual 7-day mean discharge were calculated for the entire year and for the 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-month periods of greatest tributary discharge. The monthly variation in discharge was examined. Values of discharge at different stations were converted to runoff and compared; runoff is expressed as discharge per unit area of drainage for a given period. Tests for trend were conducted on values of monthly discharge and lowest annual discharges at continuous-record stations. Statistics were determined from discharge records of the U.S. Geological Survey.  The monthly variation in discharge is similar for most streams in the study area; discharge is greatest during March and April and least during August, September, and October. The 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-month periods of greatest discharge are February through April, January through April, January through May, and December through May, respectively.  Mean annual runoff is greater in the tributaries of the Metedeconk and Toms River estuaries than in the tributaries of the other estuaries. Runoff in tributaries of these two basins ranges from 24 to 29 inches per year; the corresponding range for tributaries of the other estuaries is 16 to 23 inches per year.  Trend analysis showed that values of lowest annual discharges at continuous-record stations on tributaries of all five estuaries decreased during water years 1970-89.   For four stations, values of 183-day lowest annual discharge during the complete year decreased; for three of lowest annual 7- or 30-day mean discharge during the 3-, 4-, 5-, and 6-month periods of greatest discharge decreased. There were no trends in monthly discharge for water years 1970-89. For other periods tested, there were no trends either in lowest annual discharges or monthly discharges.  Discharge statistics at the heads of tide were calculated from the period-of-record characteristics at continuous-record stations and characteristics determined for partial-record stations. Results show that discharge at the heads of tide of the estuaries is directly related to the drainage area.Drainage areas and discharge are greatest for the Great Egg Harbor and Maurice Rivers, whose mean annual discharges are 340 and 310 cubic feet per second, respectively. Mean annual discharges of the Toms and Metedeconk Rivers are 220 and 140 cubic feet per second, respectively. Drainage area and discharge of the Tuckahoe River are the smallest of the estuaries studied; mean annual discharge is 43.9 cubic feet per second.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wri914141","usgsCitation":"Hickman, R., 1995, Statistical characteristics of stream discharge in tributaries of selected estuaries in southern New Jersey: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 91-4141, v, 53 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri914141.","productDescription":"v, 53 p.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":56528,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1991/4141/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":466054,"rank":4,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_47541.htm","text":"Metedeconk R. and Toms R. estuaries","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":159044,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1991/4141/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":466053,"rank":3,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_47540.htm","text":"Great Egg Harbor R., Maurice R., and Tackahoe R. estuaries","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"New Jersey","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -73.93527668880564,\n              40.259271068742635\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.82894288494617,\n              40.259271068742635\n            ],\n            [\n              -74.82894288494617,\n              39.235528050440365\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.93527668880564,\n              39.235528050440365\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.93527668880564,\n              40.259271068742635\n            ]\n          ]\n        ],\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\"\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ac8e4b07f02db67c14a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hickman, R.E.","contributorId":30230,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hickman","given":"R.E.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":198519,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Biological investigations were categorized by their location in either of two major physiographic provinces-the Southern Rocky Mountains or the Great Plains, or in the transition zone between the mountains and the plains. From this collection of 102 references, five general categories of biological investigations were identified:  algae, invertebrates, fish, habitat characterization, and chemicals in organism tissue. The most abundant literature was on studies of invertebrate and fish communities. Invertebrate studies primarily were conducted in the mountain region. There was limited information on algae, invertebrates in the plains region, flood-plain vegetation in the mountains and transition zone, and chemicals in organism tissue.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey :\r\nEarth Science Information Center, Open-File Reports Section [distributor],","doi":"10.3133/ofr95379","usgsCitation":"Tate, C.M., and Ortiz-Zayas, J.R., 1995, Inventory of biological investigations related to stream water quality in the South Platte River basin, Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming, 1891-1994: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-379, iii, 12 p. ill., map ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr95379.","productDescription":"iii, 12 p. ill., map ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":154549,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0379/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":19375,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0379/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a7fe4b07f02db64865a","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Tate, Cathy M. cmtate@usgs.gov","contributorId":3438,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Tate","given":"Cathy","email":"cmtate@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":183831,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Ortiz-Zayas, Jorge R.","contributorId":81932,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ortiz-Zayas","given":"Jorge","email":"","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":183832,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

The purpose of the Huron Project is to demonstrate the artificial recharge potential of glacial aquifers in eastern South Dakota. High flows from the James River during spring runoff are used as a source of supplemental recharge for the Warren aquifer, which is a buried, glacial aquifer. Prior to the injection of recharge water, which began in April 1994, many sites were monitored to obtain background information. This report presents data that were collected prior to the initiation of recharge. Precipitation data are collected at two sites within the study area. A site description and daily precipitation for water years 1991-93 are presented for one precipitation site. In 1990, 76 test holes were drilled and observation wells were installed at 70 sites. Well information and geologic logs collected during the drilling program for the Huron Project are presented. In addition to the 70 new Huron Project wells, 15 existing observation wells owned by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources were incorporated into the study. Water- level hydrographs are presented for the 85 observation wells. The period of record shown for the hydrographs is from the earliest available record through September 1993. Water-quality data were collected from both screening and detailed sampling programs. Screening water-quality data for 32 observation wells are presented. These data include primarily field parameters and common ions. The eight detailed sampling sites represent the quality of untreated water, treated water, an intermittent stream, and ground water from the Warren aquifer. Data presented for the detailed sampling program include field parameters, bacteria counts, and concentrations of common ions, solids, nutrients, trace elements, radiometrics, total organic carbon, herbicides, insecticides, and volatile organic compounds.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey ;\r\nEarth Science Information Center, Open-File Reports Section [distributor],","doi":"10.3133/ofr95313","usgsCitation":"Carter, J.M., 1995, Hydrologic data through 1993 for the Huron Project of the High Plains Ground-Water Demonstration Program: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-313, vi, 151 p. ill., maps ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr95313.","productDescription":"vi, 151 p. ill., maps ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":151181,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0313/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":47775,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0313/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a1ce4b07f02db608040","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Carter, Janet M. 0000-0002-6376-3473 jmcarter@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6376-3473","contributorId":339,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carter","given":"Janet","email":"jmcarter@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[{"id":34685,"text":"Dakota Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":562,"text":"South Dakota Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":179098,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Unconsolidated basin-fill deposits exceeding 7,000 feet in thickness constitute the primary ground-water reservoir. Dewatering operations at an open-pit mine began in the Spring of 1985 in the northeast part of Desert Valley. Ground-water withdrawal for mine dewatering in 1991 was greater than three times the estimated average annual recharge from precipitation. The mine discharge water has been allowed to flow to areas west of the mine where it has created an artificial wetlands. This report documents the 1991 hydrologic conditions in Desert Valley and the change in conditions since predevelopment (pre-1962). It also summarizes the results of analyzing the simulated effects of open-pit mine dewatering on a basin-wide scale over time. Water-level declines associated with the dewatering have propagated north and south of the mine, but have been attenuated to the west due to the infiltration beneath the artificial wetlands. Maximum water-level declines beneath the open pits at the mine, as of Spring 1991, are about 300 feet. Changes in the hydrologic conditions since predevelopment are observed predominantly near the dewatering operations and the associated discharge lakes. General ground-water chemistry is essentially unchanged since pre- development. On the basis of a ground-water flow model used to simulate mine dewatering, a new equilibrium may slowly be approached only after 100 years of recovery from the time mine dewatering ceases.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey ;\r\nU.S. Geological Survey, Information Services [distributor],","doi":"10.3133/wri954119","usgsCitation":"Berger, D., 1995, Ground-water conditions and effects of mine dewatering in Desert Valley, Humboldt and Pershing Counties, northwestern Nevada, 1962-91: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4119, vi, 94 p. :ill., maps (some col.) ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri954119.","productDescription":"vi, 94 p. :ill., maps (some col.) ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":121861,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1995/4119/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":54979,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1995/4119/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":54980,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1995/4119/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4aafe4b07f02db66d312","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Berger, D.L.","contributorId":106904,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Berger","given":"D.L.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":195945,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

In 1988, total citrus acreage in Hardee and De Soto Counties was 89,041 acres. By the year 2020, citrus acreage is projected to increase to 130,000 acres.  Ground water is the major source of water supply in the study area, and 94 percent of the ground-water withdrawn in the area is used for irrigation purposes. The principal sources of ground water in the study area are the surficial aquifer, the intermediate aquifer system, and upper water-yielding units of the Floridan aquifer system, commonly referred to as the Upper Floridan aquifer. The surficial aquifer is a permeable hydrogeo1ogic unit contiguous with land surface that is comprised predominately of surficial quartz sand deposits that generally are less than 100 feet thick. The intermediate aquifer system is a somewhat less permeable hydrogeologic unit that lies between and retards the exchange of water between the overlying surficial aquifer and the underlying Upper Floridan aquifer. Thickness of the intermediate aquifer system ranges from about 200 to 500 feet and transmissivity ranges from 400 to 7,000 feet squared per day. The highly productive Upper Floridan aquifer consists of 1,200 to 1,400 feet of solution-riddled and fractured limestone and dolomite. Transmissivity values for this aquifer range from 71,000 to 850,000 feet squared per day. Wells open to the Upper Floridan aquifer. the major source of water in the area, can yield as much as 2,500 gallons of water per minute.  The potential effects of projected increases in water withdrawals for citrus irrigation on groundwater heads were evaluated by the use of a quasi-three-dimensional, finite-difference, ground-water flow model. The model was calibrated under steady-state conditions to simulate September 1988 heads and under transient conditions to simulate head fluctuations between September 1988 and September 1989. The calibrated model was then used to simulate hydraulic heads for the years 2000 and 2020 that might result from projected increases in pumpage for citrus irrigation.  The model simulation indicated that increased pumpage might be expected to result in:  A maximum decline of more than 10 feet in theintermediate aquifer system at a proposed grove in eastern De Soto County and an average decline of more than 2 feet in much of the study area.  An increase in downward leakage to the intermediate aquifer system from the overlying surficial aquifer system from 178 to 183 million gallons per day.  A decrease in upward leakage from the intermediate aquifer system to the surficial aquifer from 1.58 to 1.47 million gallons per day.

The island consists of Pleistocene glacial deposits overlying bedrock. Geologic sections and a map of surficial geology were constructed and used to delineate six hydrogeologic units, three of which are aquifers. The most productive aquifer is the Double Bluff aquifer, situated at or below sea level. Water budget estimates indicate that of the 21-29 inches of precipitation received in a typical year, 0-4 inches runs off, 12-22 inches evapotranspires, and 2-10 inches recharges the ground-water system. Of the water recharged, 0.1-0.3 inches is withdrawn by wells; the remainder recharges deeper aquifer(s) or discharges from the ground-water system to drainage ditches or the sea. The median dissolved-solids concentration was 236 mg/L (milligrams per liter). Half of the samples were classified as moderately hard, the remainder as hard or very hard. Although magnesium-calcium/bicarbonate water types dominate, some samples contained large amounts of sodium and chloride. The median concentration of 0.08 mg/L for nitrate indicates that no widespread contamination from septic systems or livestock exists. Small concentrations of arsenic were present in 5 of 24 samples. Trace concentrations of volatile organic compounds were detected in three of five samples. None of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's maximum contaminant levels was exceeded. However, secondary maximum contaminant levels were exceeded for dissolved solids, chloride, manganese, and iron. Seasonal variability of chloride concentration was apparent in water from coastal wells that had chloride concentrations greater than 100 mg/L. Higher values occurred from April through September because of increased pumping and lower recharge.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey ;\r\nEarth Science Information Center, Open-File Reports Section [distributor],","doi":"10.3133/wri944236","usgsCitation":"Kahle, S.C., and Olsen, T.D., 1995, Hydrogeology and quality of ground water on Guemes Island, Skagit County, Washington: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4236, vi, 83 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri944236.","productDescription":"vi, 83 p. :ill., maps ;28 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":110273,"rank":700,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_48104.htm","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"},"description":"48104"},{"id":123522,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1994/4236/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":56772,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1994/4236/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":56773,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1994/4236/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a4be4b07f02db62549b","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kahle, S.

The present work outlines the contribution of these velocity sections to estimating areas favorable for mineral resource occurrences. Seismic refraction surveys are carried out with the initial goal of estimating the subsurface distribution of acoustic compressional velocity (Vp), which may ultimately be interpreted to provide information on lithology, geologic structure, and the occurrence of natural resources. The seismic sections presented here show velocity detail having dimensions of 100's to 1000's of meters to a depth of about 2.5 km, and across a net of traverses that profile most basins well as several ranges in the study area.</p><p>Figure 1 shows the location of the seismic refraction lines. The lines are designated 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7; there is no line 6. The survey covers a broad swath of the southwest Basin and Range Province extending from the Arizona border eastward to the Rio Grande River, and from the Mexican border to about lat. 32° 30' N. Lines 1, 3, and 7 traverse the axis of basins in roughly northsouth directions; the remaining lines 2, 4, and 5 trend east-west and cross various ranges and basins.</p><p>Seismic data that have been collected in this region include deep-crustal refraction traverses by university scientists and commercial seismic reflection profiles acquired for petroleum exploration. Results of deep-crustal refraction studies are reviewed to provide a regional setting for the higher resolution refraction data. Results from seismic reflection will not be discussed. Industry reflection data in the area are not generally available for non-proprietary use. The nearest reflection data publicly available are in the Socorro area, about 80 km north of the present study area (Brown and others, 1980). These data were acquired by the Consortium for Continental Reflection Profiling (COCORP), a public-supported research group, to investigate the possibility of magma beneath part of the Rio Grande valley.</p><p>Up to 1978 there were about 36 deep borings in the region of southwest New Mexico (Thompson and others, 1978). This drilling resulted mainly from an evaluation of petroleum potential of the Pedrogosa basin which is an extensive area of Paleozoic subsidence in Arizona, New Mexico, and Mexico that accumulated about three kilometers of Paleozoic sedimentary rock (Zeller, 1965; Thompson and others, 1978). Of these drill holes, 25 are close enough to the present seismic sections to provide correlations of velocity to lithology, and to provide an estimate of the errors associated with depth-to-interface interpretations. This information is summarized prior to considering the implications of the seismic sections in detail. The major portion of the report centers around two plates: Plate I shows seismic lines and selected drill hole locations superimposed on gravity contours, and Plate II shows velocitysections with drill hole summaries. These plates provide the foundation for developing inferences on buried lithologic, structural, and mineral resources for the region. </p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/ofr95506","issn":"0094-9140","usgsCitation":"Klein, D.P., Abrams, G.A., and Hill, P.L., 1995, Structure of the basins and ranges, Southwest New Mexico, an interpretation of seismic velocity sections: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 95-506, Report: v, 60 p.; 2 Plates: 48.12 x 25.60 inches and 36.96 x 22.82 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr95506.","productDescription":"Report: v, 60 p.; 2 Plates: 48.12 x 25.60 inches and 36.96 x 22.82 inches","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":358946,"rank":4,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0506/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":19476,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0506/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":155127,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0506/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":358945,"rank":3,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1995/0506/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"scale":"250000","country":"United States","state":"New Mexico","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -109.1,\n              31.3\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.4,\n              31.3\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.4,\n              32.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.1,\n              32.5\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.1,\n              31.3\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b09e4b07f02db69c178","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Klein, Douglas P.","contributorId":50896,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Klein","given":"Douglas","email":"","middleInitial":"P.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":190373,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Abrams, Gerda A.","contributorId":78706,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Abrams","given":"Gerda","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":190374,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Hill, Patricia L. pathill@usgs.gov","contributorId":1327,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hill","given":"Patricia","email":"pathill@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":190372,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

The hydrogeologic units of the drift, in descending order, are the upper drift aquifer, the upper drift confining unit, the middle drift aquifer, the lower drift confining unit. and the lower drift aquifer. A contamination plume consisting of coal-tar derivatives exists in the drift aquifers and in the Platteville aquifer underlying the southern part of the plant site and areas to the south and east of the plant site.</p>\n<p>The upper drift aquifer has a maximum saturated thickness of about 25 feet. Horizontal hydraulic conductivities of the upper drift aquifer range from less than 1 to about 25 feet per day in peat areas and from about 50 to 400 feet per day in sand and gravel areas. The upper drift confining unit generally is less than 20 feet thick, with a maximum thickness of 62 feet. The saturated thickness of the middle drift aquifer generally is 20 to 30 feet in areas where the aquifer is both overlain and underlain by a confining unit. The horizontal hydraulic conductivity of the middle drift aquifer ranges from about 50 to 500 feet per day. The lower drift confining unit is as much as 50 feet thick. Model-computed vertical hydraulic conductivities for the upper and lower drift confining units ranged from 0.0002 to 5 feet per day. The lower drift aquifer consists of discontinuous sand and gravel deposits overlying Platteville Formation bedrock and has a maximum thickness of 20 feet where it is overlain by the lower drift confining unit.</p>\n<p>Water in the drift aquifers and in the Platteville aquifer generally flows from the northwest to the southeast under a hydraulic gradient of about 10 feet per mile. The drift confining units and the Glenwood confining unit. when present, control the vertical movement of water through the aquifers. Discontinuities in these confining units greatly influence patterns of ground-water flow.</p>\n<p>A numerical cross-sectional ground-water-flow model was used to test concepts of flow of ground water through the drift aquifers and the Platteville aquifer. particularly the effects of confining units and bedrock valleys on vertical flow. The model has eight layers representing, in descending order: ( 1) the upper drift aquifer. (2) the upper drift confining unit, (3) the middle drift aquifer, (4) the upper part of the lower drift confining unit, (5) the lower part of the lower drift confining unit and lower drift aquifer, (6) the Platteville aquifer and bedrock valley deposits, (7) the St. Peter aquifer, and (8) the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer. A sensitivity analysis indicated that model-calculated hydraulic heads in the drift aquifers and in the Platteville aquifer were most sensitive to variations in: (1) the horizontal hydraulic conductivities of the middle drift aquifer, (2) the transmissivities of the Platteville and St. Peter aquifers, (3) the vertical hydraulic conductivities of the lower drift confining unit and the drift material filling the bedrock valley, and (4) the vertical hydraulic conductivity of the basal St. Peter confining unit.</p>\n<p>The model-calculated water budget indicated that recharge from infiltration of precipitation to the upper and middle drift aquifers and the upper drift confining unit accounts for about 41 percent of the total sources of water. The remaining 59 percent is from subsurface inflow from the west (through specified-head cells). About 70 percent of the outflow from the eastern model boundary was simulated as discharge from the model layers representing the Platteville aquifer and bedrock valley deposits and the St. Peter aquifer. The calibrated simulation indicated that about 99 percent of the total leakage of water from the drift aquifers and from the Platteville aquifer to the underlying St. Peter aquifer occurs through areas where the Glenwood confining unit is absent or discontinuous.</p>\n<p>Hypothetical changes of the hydraulic properties and the extent of confining units were simulated using the calibrated steady-state model. Increasing the vertical hydraulic conductivity of model layer 4, representing the upper part of the lower drift confining unit, by a factor of 100 in the western part of the cross section resulted in decreased model-calculated leakage to the St. Peter aquifer through the bedrock valley represented in the eastern part of the cross-sectional model. A hypothetical extension of vertical hydraulic conductivities representing the Glenwood&nbsp;confining unit along the entire cross-sectional model resulted in a 98 percent reduction in the model-calculated amount of water leaking from the Platteville aquifer and bedrock valley deposits to the underlying St. Peter aquifer.</p>\n<p>Model simulations indicate that vertical ground-water flow from the drift aquifers and from the Platteville aquifer to underlying bedrock aquifers is greatest through bedrock valleys. The convergence of flow paths near bedrock valleys and the greater volume of water moving through the valleys would likely result in both increased concentrations and greater vertical movement of contaminants in areas underlain by bedrock valleys as compared to areas not underlain by bedrock valleys. Model results also indicate that field measurements of hydraulic head might not help locate discontinuities in confining units and additional test drilling to locate discontinuities might be necessary.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Mounds View, MN","doi":"10.3133/wri944204","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency","usgsCitation":"Lindgren, R.J., 1995, Hydrogeology and ground-water flow of the drift and Platteville aquifer system, St. Louis Park, Minnesota: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 94-4204, vi, 79 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/wri944204.","productDescription":"vi, 79 p.","onlineOnly":"N","additionalOnlineFiles":"N","costCenters":[{"id":392,"text":"Minnesota Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":395393,"rank":3,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_48074.htm"},{"id":57178,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1994/4204/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":126393,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1994/4204/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Minnesota","city":"St. Louis Park","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -93.4,\n              44.9625\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.4,\n              44.916667\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.308333,\n              44.916667\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.308333,\n              44.9625\n            ],\n            [\n              -93.4,\n              44.9625\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e48cfe4b07f02db545fda","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lindgren, R.

The Wind River Formation of Tertiary age has the most well development. Quaternary alluvium and colluvium is the second-most developed. Some wells and springs discharge more than 300 gallons per minute from older selected geologic units. Geologic units are recharged by infiltration of precipi- tation, surface water, or irrigation water, or by leakage from another unit. The general direction of ground-water movement in the two major basins in the county is toward the Sweetwater and Wind Rivers. Ground water is discharged by wells, springs and seeps, evapotranspiration, and discharge to streams, lakes, drains, and other geologic units. Ground- water levels near Riverton's municipal supply were typically deepest in August when ground water was the sole supply. After 1981, ground water only supplemented the supply and water levels appeared to recover. Surface water supplies about 99 percent of total offstream use in Fremont County; irrigation is the largest use. The largest use of ground water is public supply. Twenty-five samples were collected from the Sweetwater River and tributaries in September 1991. Dissolved-solids concentrations ranged from 39 to 271 milligrams per liter, increasing downstream. All six water samples collected from the Cody Shale (Cretaceous age) exceeded 500 milligrams per liter dissolved solids-all samples from Miocene rocks and the White River Formation (Oligocene age) had dissolved solids less than 500 milligrams per liter.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wri954095","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the Wyoming State Engineer","usgsCitation":"Plafcan, M., Eddy-Miller, C., Ritz, G.F., and Holland, J.P., 1995, Water resources of Fremont County, Wyoming: U.S. Geological Survey Water-Resources Investigations Report 95-4095, Report: v, 133 p.; 3 Plates: 37.38 x 35.60 inches or smaller, https://doi.org/10.3133/wri954095.","productDescription":"Report: v, 133 p.; 3 Plates: 37.38 x 35.60 inches or smaller","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":393254,"rank":6,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1995/4095/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":393253,"rank":4,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1995/4095/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":58033,"rank":301,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1995/4095/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":58032,"rank":2,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1995/4095/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":159177,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wri/1995/4095/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Wyoming","county":"Fremont County","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -109.92919921875,\n              42.22851735620852\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.63330078125,\n              42.22851735620852\n            ],\n            [\n              -106.63330078125,\n              43.58039085560784\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.92919921875,\n              43.58039085560784\n            ],\n            [\n              -109.92919921875,\n              42.22851735620852\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e49f4e4b07f02db5f0849","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Plafcan, Maria","contributorId":20338,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Plafcan","given":"Maria","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":201045,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Eddy-Miller, Cheryl A. 0000-0002-4082-750X cemiller@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4082-750X","contributorId":1824,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Eddy-Miller","given":"Cheryl A.","email":"cemiller@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":5050,"text":"WY-MT Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":201046,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Ritz, George F. gfritz@usgs.gov","contributorId":1807,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ritz","given":"George","email":"gfritz@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"F.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":201048,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Holland, John P.R.

A few deep wells in the northwestern part of the field have penetrated beneath this reservoir into a second vapor-dominated reservoir where temperatures are &gt;315°C, while vapor pressure remains nearly constant at about 35.9 bars (Walters et al., 1992). Vapor-dominated reservoirs generally are thought to operate like heat pipes in which steam formed near the base of the system convects upward (along with other gases, such as CC&gt;2 and H2S), while liquid that has condensed from steam near the top of the reservoir counterflows downward (White et al., 1971). To the extent that this steam condensate carries H2S in solution, it may dissolve gold from the surrounding rock during the counterflow. Re-evaporation of the down-flowing condensate and precipitation of dissolved material might occur at the base of the upper reservoir where there is a relatively sharp increase in temperature while vapor pressure remains nearly constant. In addition, brine that once was present throughout the system (Moore, 1992) may have deposited a variety of ore minerals when and where boiling was vigorous during the transition from previous hot water-dominated to present-day vapor-dominated conditions. The investigation reported here was a geochemical reconnaissance survey looking for evidence of accumulation of Au and other metals in the transition zone between the two reservoirs.
