Radioactive substances may be present in natural water as a result of geochemical processes or the release of radioactive waste and other nuclear debris to the environment. The Geological Survey has developed methods for measuring certain of these .radioactive substances in water. \r\n\r\nRadioactive substances often are present in water samples in microgram quantities or less. Therefore, precautions must be taken to prevent loss of material and to assure that the sample truly represents its source at the time of collection. Addition of acids, complexing agents, or stable isotopes often aids in preventing loss of radioactivity on container walls, on sediment, or on other solid materials in contact with the sample. \r\n\r\nThe disintegration of radioactive atoms is a random process subject to established methods of statistical analysis. Because many water samples contain small amounts of radioactivity, low-level counting techniques must be used. The usual assumption that counting data follow a Gaussian distribution is invalid under these conditions, and statistical analyses must be based on the Poisson distribution. \r\n\r\nThe gross beta activity in water samples is determined from the residue left after evaporation of the sample to dryness. Evaporation is accomplished first in a teflon dish, then the residue is transferred with distilled water to a counting planchet and again is reduced to dryness. The radioactivity on the planchet is measured with an anticoincidence-shielded, low-background, beta counter and is compared with measurements of a strontium-90-yttrium-90 standard prepared and measured in the same manner. Control charts are used to assure consistent operation of the counting instrument.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. G.P.O.,","doi":"10.3133/wsp1696A","usgsCitation":"Barker, F.B., and Robinson, B., 1963, Determination of beta activity in water: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1696, iii, 32 p. :ill. ;24 cm., https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1696A.","productDescription":"iii, 32 p. :ill. ;24 cm.","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":137078,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1696a/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":25550,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1696a/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4aa8e4b07f02db667865","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Barker, F.

In connection with a test-drilling program, cooperatively sponsored by the U.S. Geological Survey, the Nassau County Department \r\nof Public Works, and the New York State Water Resources Commission (formerly \r\nWater Power and Control Commission), 13 wells ranging in depth from about \r\n130 to 800 feet were drilled during 1952 and 1953 and screened at various depths \r\nin the Magothy(?) formation and Jameco gravel. On the basis of the preliminary \r\ngeologic, hydrologic, and chemical data from these wells, a detailed investigation \r\nof ground-water conditions from the water table to the bedrock was begun in a \r\n200-square-mile area in southern Nassau and southeastern Queens Counties. \r\nThe Inain purposes of the investigation were to delineate the bodies of fresh and \r\nsalty ground water in the project area, to relate their occurrence and movement \r\nto geologic and hydrologic conditions, to estimate the rate of encroachment, if \r\nany, of the salty water, and to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing network \r\nof outpost wells as detectors of salt-water encroachment. \r\nAbout a million people in the report area, residing mainly in southern Nassau \r\nCounty, are completely dependent on ground water as a source of supply. Fortunately, precipitation averages about 44 inches per year, of which approximately \r\nhalf is estimated to percolate into the ground-water reservoir. \r\nThe ground water is contained in and moves through eight differentiated geologic units composed of unconsolidated gravel, sand, and clay, of Late Cretaceous, \r\nPleistocene, and Recent age, having a maximum total thickness of about 1,700 \r\nfeet. The underlying metamorphic and igneous crystalline basement rocks are \r\nof Precambrian age and are not water bearing. \r\nThe water-yielding units from the surface down are (1) the upper Pleistocene \r\ndeposits, (2) the principal artesian aquifer, composed of the Jameco gravel and \r\nMagothy(?) formation, and (3) the Lloyd sand member of the Raritar formation. \r\nThe confining units are the '20-foot' clay, the Gardiners clay, and the clay member of the Raritan formation. The upper Pleistocene deposits contain an extensive unconfined body of fresh water. Fresh water under artesian conditions is \r\ncontained in the principal artesian aquifer and the Lloyd sand member. The \r\npiezometric surface of the principal artesian aquifer is similar in shape to the south-ward-sloping water table; it ranges in altitude from about sea level to 55 feet \r\nabove. \r\nThe chemical quality of the fresh ground water in most of the area in all aquifers \r\nis good to excellent, and concentrations of dissolved solids and of chloride generally \r\nare below 100 ppm (parts per million) and 10 ppm, respectively. Analyses of \r\nwater samples from selected wells show no progressive increase in concentration of \r\nchloride in most of the area. The data on quality of water have been used to \r\ndelineate one major and several minor bodies of salty ground water. The wedgeshaped main confined salt-water body, in which the concentration of chloride \r\nreaches about 17,000 ppm, is in the Magothy(?) formation and Jameco gravel in \r\nextreme southwestern Nassau County and southeastern Queens County. The \r\nbase of the salt-water wedge is about at the top of the clay member of the Raritan \r\nformation. Beneath the barrier beach in south-central and southeastern Nassau County a shallow extension of the main confined salt-water body contains as much as 4,000 ppm of chloride and is separated from the lower main salt-water body by fresh ground water. Shallow, thin bodies of unconfined salty ground water are common in the upper Pleistocene and Recent deposits adjacent to salty surface water in tidal creeks, bays, and the Atlantic","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/wsp1613A","usgsCitation":"Perlmutter, N.M., and Geraghty, J.J., 1963, Geology and ground-water conditions in southern Nassau and southeastern Queens Counties, Long Island, N.Y.: U.S. Geological Survey Water Supply Paper 1613, Report: vi, 205 p.; 7 Plates: 27.00 × 40.00 inches or smaller, https://doi.org/10.3133/wsp1613A.","productDescription":"Report: vi, 205 p.; 7 Plates: 27.00 × 40.00 inches or smaller","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":28560,"rank":406,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1613a/plate-7.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":28559,"rank":405,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1613a/plate-6.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":28557,"rank":403,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1613a/plate-4.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":28556,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1613a/plate-3.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":28555,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1613a/plate-2.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":138751,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1613a/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":28558,"rank":404,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1613a/plate-5.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":28561,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1613a/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":394230,"rank":10,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_24803.htm"},{"id":28554,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/wsp/1613a/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"scale":"96200","country":"United States","state":"New York","county":"Nassau County, Queens County","otherGeospatial":"Long Island","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -73.812,\n              40.583\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.417,\n              40.583\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.417,\n              40.727\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.812,\n              40.727\n            ],\n            [\n              -73.812,\n              40.583\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4adbe4b07f02db685f9f","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Perlmutter, N.

The&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">diagrams</span><span>&nbsp;have been subdivided into&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">pollen</span><span>&nbsp;zones according to the A-B-C sequence introduced by Deevey for New England. The late-glacial&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">pollen</span><span>&nbsp;record starts at Kirchner Marsh with a short Picea-Cyperaceae-Gramineae phase (Zone K), believed to represent a spruce parkland. Its C-14 date of 13,270 BP and the stratigraphy indicate a pre-</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">Two</span><span>&nbsp;Creeks and post- Gary correlation. Apparently the Kirchner site did not become established as a lake until this time owing to persistence of dead ice&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">in</span><span>&nbsp;the moraine. The absence of&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">pollen</span><span>&nbsp;of specific tundra indicators and the presence of&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">pollen</span><span>&nbsp;of such thermophilous plants as Fraxinus, Quercus, Corylus, Ambrosia, Humulus, and Typha latifolia imply that the climate was cool rather than cold. Zone A-a, which follows, correlates with the&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">Two</span><span>&nbsp;Creeks interstade. It is marked by the dominance of Picea, with appreciable percentages of Fraxinus and Ambrosia and with minor amounts of other thermophilous plants and the normal boreal associates of spruce like Betula, Larix, and Salix. Zone A-b, starting 12,050 C-14 years ago, correlates with the Valders ice advance. It is represented at both Kirchner and Carlson and shows the withdrawal of Fraxinus and Ambrosia and the slight rise of Artemisia. Except for the absence of pine&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">in</span><span>&nbsp;the late-glacial assemblage the vegetation implied by these three zones seems to have its closest modern counterpart&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">in</span><span>&nbsp;the southern fringe of the Boreal Forest of the Riding Mountain region of southwest Manitoba. It is concluded that pine did not migrate southward with the spruce during the Wisconsin glaciation, at least&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">in</span><span>&nbsp;the western Great Lakes region, and was thus eliminated from this region. During the&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">lateglacial</span><span>&nbsp;phases of ice retreat, herbs and spruce pioneered on the deglaciated terrain; pine did not follow until the destruction of the spruce forest at the end of the late-glacial phase. Zone B introduces&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">postglacial</span><span>&nbsp;time. It represents the time of rapid&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">Vegetational</span><span>&nbsp;succession following the deterioration of the spruce forest. Simultaneous maxima of Betula, Alnus, Fraxinus, and Abies occurred 10,230 years ago at Kirchner Marsh. These were followed rapidly by a Pinus maximum and then a rise of Ulmus, Quercus, and other deciduous types, dated as 9300 years ago at the correlative site of Madeha. This succession may represent differential rates of migration from refuges south and east of&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">Minnesota</span><span>. Deciduous trees dominate the C Zones. Zone C-a shows Ulmus and Ostrya /Carpinus followed by Quercus; it probably represents principally a mesic maple-basswood forest changing to oak. Zone C-b represents the advance of prairie into the region at the expense of the oak woodland or savanna. The large and abrupt fluctuations&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">in</span><span>&nbsp;the curves for Ambrosia-type and Chenopodiineae, especially at the Carlson site, may record encroachment of annual weeds onto intermittently dried lake bottoms. C-14 dates place Zone C-b between 7100 and 5100 years ago.&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">In</span><span>&nbsp;Zone C-c the Quercus again dominates until the abrupt increase&nbsp;</span><span class=\"ScopusTermHighlight\">in</span><span>&nbsp;Ambrosiatype and Chenopodiineae that marks the time of forest clearance and land settlement 50-75 years ago.&nbsp;</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of America","doi":"10.1130/0016-7606(1963)74[1371:TPDFSM]2.0.CO;2","usgsCitation":"Wright, H., Winter, T.C., and Patten, H.L., 1963, Two pollen diagrams from southeastern Minnesota: Problems in the regional late-glacial and postglacial vegetational history: Geological Society of America Bulletin, v. 74, no. 11, p. 1371-1396, https://doi.org/10.1130/0016-7606(1963)74[1371:TPDFSM]2.0.CO;2.","productDescription":"26 p.","startPage":"1371","endPage":"1396","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":386134,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United  States","state":"Minnesota","otherGeospatial":"southeastern Minnesota","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -94.39453125,\n              43.58039085560784\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.14257812499999,\n              43.58039085560784\n            ],\n            [\n              -91.14257812499999,\n              45.182036837015886\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.39453125,\n              45.182036837015886\n            ],\n            [\n              -94.39453125,\n              43.58039085560784\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","volume":"74","issue":"11","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Wright, H.E.

The body-scale relation is a straight line with an intercept of 1.1 inches on the length axis. Weight of Apostle Islands round whitefish captured in several months increased as the 3.22 power of the length. Growth in length was relatively slow; nearly or fully 7 years were required to reach an acceptable commercial length of 14 inches in both the Apostle Islands and at Isle Royale. The calculated weights at the end of the seventh year were 12.6 ounces in the Apostle Islands and 13.8 ounces at Isle Royale. Minimum length at maturity of male round whitefish (7.0-7.4 inches) was less than that of females (8.5-8.9 inches). At age-group II, 11.1 percent of male round whitefish, but only 1.5 percent of the females were mature. All males were mature as age-group V and all females as age-group VI.

The modern production, though far below the earlier, has accounted for more than 10 percent of the total value of the fishery in all but one of the last 20 years. Data are given on growth rate, age and year-class composition, size distribution, and length-weight relation of 1,800 fish collected in 1957-59 at Bayfield, Wis., and Marquette, Whitefish Point, and Dollar Settlement, Mich.  Studies of the body-scale relation, sex ratio, and age and size at maturity were limited to fish collected at Bayfield. The age composition and mean age varied widely by port and year of capture. Oldest fish were those of the 1957 Bayfield samples which were dominated by age group VII and averaged 5.5 years old. The youngest were from Whitefish Point in 1959; age-group III was dominant, and the mean age was 3.2 years. The evidence on the strength of year classes was not clear-cut, but it was obvious that fluctuations in stocks of different areas were largely independent. The percentage of legal-size fish (17 inches or longer) in age groups ranged widely; only 8.6 percent of the V group were legal in the 1957 Bayfield collections, whereas 100 percent of fish of the same age were legal in the 1957-59 collections from Whitefish Point. The weight of whitefish in the combined samples increased as the 3.2408 power of the length. The growth rate from the fastest to the slowest growing stocks ranked as follows: Whitefish Point; Dollar Settlement and Marquette (fish from the two ports reversed ranks after 3 years); Bayfield. The major differences in growth in length among the various stocks occurred during the first years of life. Beyond the fifth year the annual increments were nearly the same in all stocks. The whitefish from Whitefish Point, Dollar Settlement, and Marquette are among the fastest growing in the Great Lakes. The differences among the Lake Superior stocks in age and year-class composition, and in growth rate offer convincing evidence that populations of different areas are entirely independent. The sexes were almost equally represented (51.5 percent males) in the combined Bayfield samples, but males were scarce in age groups older than VIII.

The investigations currently in progress relate to the Grinnell and Sperry Glaciers. This program is carried on cooperatively by the Geological Survey, the National Park Service and the Weather Bureau. The program includes the determination of annual changes in the surface elevation of the glaciers by the measurement of profiles, and changes during the summer months by the establishment of and observations at ablation stakes; rapping the glacier termini in selected years to record advance or recession; determination of annual movement by the location of marked rocks; the operation of two storage-precipitation gages in the immediate vicinity of the Grinnell Glacier to record annual precipitation; the operation of two gaging stations, one just below the Grinnell Glacier during the summer months and one Just below the outlet of Grinnell Lake on a year round basis; temperature data near the Grinnell Glacier and temperature and precipitation data at the Sperry Chalet near the Sperry Glacier during the summer months.

In compiling the map, the estimated total quantity of copper present before mining was used to assign districts to size categories, and both production and reserves are included without distinction as to the status of exploitation. Four categories have been distinguished: deposits that contain 50+ to 1,000 tons; 1,000 to 50,000 tons; 50,000 to 1 million tons; and over 1 million tons of copper respectively. In many of the smaller deposits copper occurs with other metals, as gold, silver; lead, or zinc, that may be quantitatively and economically more important than the contained copper. Thus, for example, a deposit that contains large values in gold or zinc may contain only a small amount of copper and is shown on this map as a small copper deposit.</p><p>Five principal morphologic types of deposits have been distinguished on the map by letter symbols. These are disseminated, replacement, vein, massive sulfide, and native copper deposits (see Explanation). They are not strictly genetic types, however, for the disseminated deposits, the massive sulfide deposits, and many of the vein deposits were formed largely or entirely by replacement processes.</p><p>The symbols show either individual mines or the approximate centers of districts. Some of the more prominent districts are identified by name on the map, and all with over 1,000 tons of copper are numbered to correspond to the Locality Index. As mining district names do not always correspond to locality names, and a name established through common usage may not be the legal name of the mining district, several names are given in the index for some localities. The index is arranged alphabetically by States. Both published and unpublished data were used, and at least one reference is given for each locality if reports on it have been published.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/mr13","usgsCitation":"Kinkel, A.R., and Peterson, N.P., 1962, Copper in the United States, exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii: U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Investigations Resource Map 13, Report: 15 p.; 1 Plate: 64.20 x 42.00 inches, https://doi.org/10.3133/mr13.","productDescription":"Report: 15 p.; 1 Plate: 64.20 x 42.00 inches","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":485338,"rank":3,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/mr/13/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":260477,"rank":2,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/mr/13/plate-1.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":180103,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/mr/13/report-thumb.jpg"}],"scale":"3168000","country":"United States","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -127.25,24.25 ], [ -127.25,49.25 ], [ -66.5,49.25 ], [ -66.5,24.25 ], [ -127.25,24.25 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4adbe4b07f02db685bf3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kinkel, Arthur R.

Mex. Potable and neat potable ground water is present in rocks above the salt and is being studied in relation to this nuclear event. This report presents details of two test holes which were drilled to determine ground-water conditions in the near vicinity of the shot point.\r\n\r\nA well-defined aquifer is present at the site of USGS test hole 1, about 1,000 feet south of the access shaft to the underground shot point. Water with 75 feet of artesian pressure head is contained in the Culebra dolomite member of the Rustler formation. The dolomite aquifer is 32 feet thick and its top lies at a depth of 517 feet below land surface. The aquifer yielded 100 gpm (gallons per minute) with a drawdown of 40 feet during a pumping period of 24 hours. Water was not found in rocks above or below the Culebra dolomite.\r\n\r\nAt the site of USGS test hole 2, about 2 miles southwest of the access shaft no distinctive aquifer exists. About one-half gpm was yielded to the well from the rocks between the Culebra dolomite and the top of the salt. Water could not be detected in the Culebra dolomite or overlying rocks.\r\n\r\nThe report contains drawdown and recovery curves of yield tests, drilling-time charts, and electric logs.

This range cannot be accounted for adequately by the peneplain concept. Although accordant summits, the chief evidence for peneplains, occur over large areas, summits are not accordant between adjacent areas within the valley. The Lebanon Valley is underlain in the south by carbonate rocks and in the north by shale. The major stream valley in the carbonate area is now partly occupied by segments of two streams, but at one time it was the location of one major stream -the ancestral Quittapahilla Creek-which was beheaded by a tributary to Swatara Creek. Landforms of the Lebanon Valley are probably the result of erosion within two separate stream systems-Swatara and ancestral Quittapahilla creeks-in which streams and interfluvial areas were in a state of erosional equilibrium. The land surface in equilibrium with the ancestral Quittapahilla Creek lies at a higher elevation than adjacent land surfaces that were in equilibrium with Swatara Creek. The land surface on the carbonate rocks, which is in the ancestral Quittapahilla Creek system, lies at a lower elevation than shale within the same system, but it commonly lies at a higher elevation than shale in adjacent parts of the Swatara Creek system. Accordance of summits is the result of uniform erosion of uniform rocks in basins whose discharge points are at the same elevation. Lack of accordant summits on uniform rocks is the result of erosion in basins whose discharge points differ in elevation.</span></p>","language":"English","publisher":"Geological Society of

As defined in this paper it extends from the Adirondack Mountains in New York to central Alabama. From east to west it extends from the west flank of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the crest of the Findlay and Cincinnati arches and the Nashville dome. It encompasses an area of about 207,000 square miles, including all of West Virginia and parts of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama.</p><p>The stratified rocks that occupy the basin constitute a wedge-shaped mass whose axis of greatest thickness lies close to and parallel to the east edge of the basin. The maximum thickness of stratified rocks preserved in any one part of the basin today is between 35,000 and 40,000 feet. The volume of the sedimentary rocks is approximately 510,000 cubic miles and of volcanic rocks is a few thousand cubic miles. The sedimentary rocks are predominantly Paleozoic in age, whereas the volcanic rocks are predominantly Late Precambrian.</p><p>On the basis of gross lithology the stratified rocks overlying the crystalline basement complex can be divided into nine vertically sequential units, which are designated \"sequences\" in this report. The boundaries between contiguous sequences do not necessarily coincide with the commonly recognized boundaries between systems or series. All sequences are grossly wedge shaped, being thickest along the eastern margin of the basin and thinnest along the western margin.</p><p>The lowermost unit the Late Precambrian stratified sequence is present only along part of the eastern margin of the basin, where it lies unconformably on the basement complex. It consists largely of volcanic tuffs and flows but contains some interbedded sedimentary rocks. The Late Precambrian sequence is overlain by the Early Cambrian clastic sequence. Where the older sequence is absent, the Early Cambrian sequence rests on the basement complex. Interbedded fine- to coarse-grained noncarbonate detrital rocks comprise the bulk of the sequence, but some volcanic and carbonate rocks are included. Next above is the Cambrian-Ordovician carbonate sequence which consists largely of limestone and dolomite. Some quartzose sandstone is present in the lower part in the western half of the basin, and much shale is present in the upper part in the southeast part of the basin. The next higher sequence is the Late Ordovician clastic sequence, which consists largely of shale, siltstone, and sandstone. Coarse-grained light-gray to red rocks are common in the sequence along the eastern side of the basin, whereas fine-grained dark-gray to black calcareous rocks are common along the west side. The Late Ordovician clastic sequence is overlain unconformably in many places by the&nbsp;Early Silurian clastic sequence. The latter comprises a relatively thin wedge of coarse-grained clastic rocks. Some of the most prolific oil- and gas-producing sandstones in the Appalachian basin are included. Among these are the \"Clinton\" sands of Ohio, the Medina Sandstones of New York and Pennsylvania, and the Keefer or \"Big Six\" Sandstone of West Virginia and Kentucky. Conformably overlying the Early Silurian clastic sequence is the Silurian-Devonian carbonate sequence, which consists predominantly of limestone and dolomite. It also contains a salt-bearing unit in the north-central part of the basin and a thick wedge of coarse-grained red beds in the northeastern part. The sequence is absent in much of the southern part of the basin. Large volumes of gas and much oil are obtained from some of its rocks, especially from the Oriskany Sandstone and the Huntersville Ghert. The Silurian-Devonian carbonate sequence is abruptly overlain by the Devonian clastic sequence a thick succession of interbedded shale, mudrock, siltstone, and sandstone. Colors range from predominantly purple and red in the northeastern part of the basin to predominantly dark gray and black in the southwestern part. Many rocks in the upper part contain hydrocarbons in commercial quantities. The next higher sequence is a heterogeneous succession that comprises most rocks of Mississippian age in the basin. It is composed largely of fine-grained to very coarse-grained noncalcareous clastic rocks in the northern half of the basin, and largely of carbonate rocks in the southern part. Large quantities of oil and gas are produced from the sequence. The youngest sequence consists of coarse-grained clastic rocks largely of Pennsylvanian age. In the center of the basin a relatively small volume of lithologically similar rocks of Permian age are included. The sequence has been intensively mined for coal throughout most of its extent.</p><p>The waste-disposal possibilities of the stratified rocks in the Appalachian basin are considered in terms of the following: 1) gross lithology of the sequences; 2) general lithology of the rock units composing the sequences; and 3) the structural attitudes of the sequences in different parts of the basin. The degree of exploitation of economically significant mineral* resources is considered briefly where such exploitation may affect waste-disposal possibilities. Hydrologic aspects are not in general considered. Based largely on consideration of the above geologic factors the following types of reservoirs associated with particular geologic environments offer some prospects for the disposal of radioactive waste solutions. They are: 1) artificially created cavities in thick salt beds; 2) artificially fractured thin lenticular sandstone bodies isolated in shale or mudrock sequences; 3) portions of thick noncarbonate clastic sequences possessing appreciable natural porosity and permeability; 4) thin clastic units (with natural or artificially created openings) in the plate of a thrust fault overlain by impermeable strata.</p><p>Considered in its entirety the Late Ordovician clastic sequence appears to have a greater number of favorable geologic factors for waste-disposal purposes than the others. The Early Silurian clastic sequence, the Silurian-Devonian carbonate sequence, and the Devonian clastic sequence offer fewer possibilities. The Late Precambrian stratified sequence, Early Cambrian, and the Cambrian-Ordovician carbonate sequence offer few possibilities. The Mississippian and Pennsylvanian sequences appear to be generally unsuitable.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.3133/tei791","collaboration":"Prepared on behalf of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission","usgsCitation":"Colton, G.W., 1961, Geologic summary of the Appalachian basin, with reference to the subsurface disposal of radioactive waste solutions: U.S. Geological Survey Trace Elements Investigations 791, Report: 121 p.; 15 Maps; 1 Illustration, https://doi.org/10.3133/tei791.","productDescription":"Report: 121 p.; 15 Maps; 1 Illustration","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":358066,"rank":3,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-01.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358065,"rank":2,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358067,"rank":4,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-02.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358068,"rank":5,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-03.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358069,"rank":6,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-04.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358070,"rank":7,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-05.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358071,"rank":8,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-06.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358072,"rank":9,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-07.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358073,"rank":10,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-08.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358074,"rank":11,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-09.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358075,"rank":12,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-10.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358076,"rank":13,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-11.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358077,"rank":14,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-12.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358078,"rank":15,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-13.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358079,"rank":16,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-14.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358080,"rank":17,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-15.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":358081,"rank":18,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-16.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":290249,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/report-thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Appalachian Basin","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -84.71,35.8 ], [ -84.71,43.91 ], [ -74.13,43.91 ], [ -74.13,35.8 ], [ -84.71,35.8 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"53c79ef3e4b0194841642446","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Colton, George Willis","contributorId":12015,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Colton","given":"George","email":"","middleInitial":"Willis","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":284696,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

As defined in this paper it extends from the Adirondack Mountains in New York to central Alabama. From east to west it extends from the west flank of the Blue Ridge Mountains to the crest of the Findlay and Cincinnati arches and the Nashville dome. It encompasses an area of about 207,000 square miles, including all of West Virginia and parts of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama.</p><p>The stratified rocks that occupy the basin constitute a wedge-shaped mass whose axis of greatest thickness lies close to and parallel to the east edge of the basin. The maximum thickness of stratified rocks preserved in any one part of the basin today is between 35,000 and 40,000 feet. The volume of the sedimentary rocks is approximately 510,000 cubic miles and of volcanic rocks is a few thousand cubic miles. The sedimentary rocks are predominantly Paleozoic in age, whereas the volcanic rocks are predominantly Late Precambrian.</p><p>On the basis of gross lithology the stratified rocks overlying the crystalline basement complex can be divided into nine vertically sequential units, which are designated \"sequences\" in this report. The boundaries between contiguous sequences do not necessarily coincide with the commonly recognized boundaries between systems or series. All sequences are grossly wedge shaped, being thickest along the eastern margin of the basin and thinnest along the western margin.</p><p>The lowermost unit the Late Precambrian stratified sequence is present only along part of the eastern margin of the basin, where it lies unconformably on the basement complex. It consists largely of volcanic tuffs and flows but contains some interbedded sedimentary rocks. The Late Precambrian sequence is overlain by the Early Cambrian clastic sequence. Where the older sequence is absent, the Early Cambrian sequence rests on the basement complex. Interbedded fine- to coarse-grained noncarbonate detrital rocks comprise the bulk of the sequence, but some volcanic and carbonate rocks are included. Next above is the Cambrian-Ordovician carbonate sequence which consists largely of limestone and dolomite. Some quartzose sandstone is present in the lower part in the western half of the basin, and much shale is present in the upper part in the southeast part of the basin. The next higher sequence is the Late Ordovician clastic sequence, which consists largely of shale, siltstone, and sandstone. Coarse-grained light-gray to red rocks are common in the sequence along the eastern side of the basin, whereas fine-grained dark-gray to black calcareous rocks are common along the west side. The Late Ordovician clastic sequence is overlain unconformably in many places by the&nbsp;Early Silurian clastic sequence. The latter comprises a relatively thin wedge of coarse-grained clastic rocks. Some of the most prolific oil- and gas-producing sandstones in the Appalachian basin are included. Among these are the \"Clinton\" sands of Ohio, the Medina Sandstones of New York and Pennsylvania, and the Keefer or \"Big Six\" Sandstone of West Virginia and Kentucky. Conformably overlying the Early Silurian clastic sequence is the Silurian-Devonian carbonate sequence, which consists predominantly of limestone and dolomite. It also contains a salt-bearing unit in the north-central part of the basin and a thick wedge of coarse-grained red beds in the northeastern part. The sequence is absent in much of the southern part of the basin. Large volumes of gas and much oil are obtained from some of its rocks, especially from the Oriskany Sandstone and the Huntersville Ghert. The Silurian-Devonian carbonate sequence is abruptly overlain by the Devonian clastic sequence a thick succession of interbedded shale, mudrock, siltstone, and sandstone. Colors range from predominantly purple and red in the northeastern part of the basin to predominantly dark gray and black in the southwestern part. Many rocks in the upper part contain hydrocarbons in commercial quantities. The next higher sequence is a heterogeneous succession that comprises most rocks of Mississippian age in the basin. It is composed largely of fine-grained to very coarse-grained noncalcareous clastic rocks in the northern half of the basin, and largely of carbonate rocks in the southern part. Large quantities of oil and gas are produced from the sequence. The youngest sequence consists of coarse-grained clastic rocks largely of Pennsylvanian age. In the center of the basin a relatively small volume of lithologically similar rocks of Permian age are included. The sequence has been intensively mined for coal throughout most of its extent.</p><p>The waste-disposal possibilities of the stratified rocks in the Appalachian basin are considered in terms of the following: 1) gross lithology of the sequences; 2) general lithology of the rock units composing the sequences; and 3) the structural attitudes of the sequences in different parts of the basin. The degree of exploitation of economically significant mineral* resources is considered briefly where such exploitation may affect waste-disposal possibilities. Hydrologic aspects are not in general considered. Based largely on consideration of the above geologic factors the following types of reservoirs associated with particular geologic environments offer some prospects for the disposal of radioactive waste solutions. They are: 1) artificially created cavities in thick salt beds; 2) artificially fractured thin lenticular sandstone bodies isolated in shale or mudrock sequences; 3) portions of thick noncarbonate clastic sequences possessing appreciable natural porosity and permeability; 4) thin clastic units (with natural or artificially created openings) in the plate of a thrust fault overlain by impermeable strata.</p><p>Considered in its entirety the Late Ordovician clastic sequence appears to have a greater number of favorable geologic factors for waste-disposal purposes than the others. The Early Silurian clastic sequence, the Silurian-Devonian carbonate sequence, and the Devonian clastic sequence offer fewer possibilities. The Late Precambrian stratified sequence, Early Cambrian, and the Cambrian-Ordovician carbonate sequence offer few possibilities. The Mississippian and Pennsylvanian sequences appear to be generally unsuitable.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Washington, D.C.","doi":"10.3133/ofr6228","collaboration":"Prepared on behalf of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission","usgsCitation":"Colton, G.W., 1961, Geologic summary of the Appalachian Basin, with reference to the subsurface disposal of radioactive waste solutions: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 62-28, Report: 121 p.; 15 Maps; 1 Illustration, https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr6228.","productDescription":"Report: 121 p.; 15 Maps; 1 Illustration","costCenters":[],"links":[{"id":86729,"rank":400,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-01.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86730,"rank":401,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-02.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":177170,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/report-thumb.jpg"},{"id":86731,"rank":402,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-03.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86732,"rank":403,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-04.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86733,"rank":404,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-05.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86734,"rank":405,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-06.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86735,"rank":406,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-07.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86736,"rank":407,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-08.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86737,"rank":408,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-09.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86738,"rank":409,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-10.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86739,"rank":410,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-11.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86740,"rank":411,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-12.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86741,"rank":412,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-13.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86742,"rank":413,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-14.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86743,"rank":414,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-15.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86744,"rank":415,"type":{"id":17,"text":"Plate"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/plate-16.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}},{"id":86745,"rank":300,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1962/0028/report.pdf","linkFileType":{"id":1,"text":"pdf"}}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Appalachian Basin","geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -84.71,35.8 ], [ -84.71,43.91 ], [ -74.13,43.91 ], [ -74.13,35.8 ], [ -84.71,35.8 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ae0e4b07f02db688132","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Colton, George Willis","contributorId":12015,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Colton","given":"George","email":"","middleInitial":"Willis","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":244999,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}
