However, lead is a potent, potentially deadly toxin that damages many organs in the body and can affect all animals, including humans. By the mid 1990s, lead had been removed from many products in the United States, such as paint and fuel, but it is still commonly used in ammunition for hunting upland game birds, small mammals, and large game animals, as well as in fishing tackle. Wild birds, such as mourning doves, bald eagles, California condors, and loons, can die from the ingestion of one lead shot, bullet fragment, or sinker. According to a recent study on loon mortality, nearly half of adult loons found sick or dead during the breeding season in New England were diagnosed with confirmed or suspected lead poisoning from ingestion of lead fishing weights. Recent regulations in some states have restricted the use of lead ammunition on certain upland game hunting areas, as well as lead fishing tackle in areas frequented by common loons and trumpeter swans. A variety of alternatives to lead are available for use in hunting, shooting sports, and fishing activities.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/fs20093051","usgsCitation":"Lahner, L.L., and Franson, J., 2009, Lead poisoning in wild birds: U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2009-3051, 4 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20093051.","productDescription":"4 p.","ipdsId":"IP-014418","costCenters":[{"id":456,"text":"National Wildlife Health Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":13036,"rank":2,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3051/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":118553,"rank":1,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/fs_2009_3051.jpg"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b1ae4b07f02db6a8695","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Lahner, Lesanna L.","contributorId":55103,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Lahner","given":"Lesanna","email":"","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303372,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Franson, J.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) defines a pesticide as any substance used to kill or control insects, weeds, plant diseases, and other pest organisms. Although there are important benefits from the proper use of pesticides, like crop protection and prevention of human disease outbreaks, there are also risks. One risk is the contamination of groundwater and surface-water resources. Data collected during 1992-2001 from 51 major hydrologic systems across the United States indicate that one or more pesticide or pesticide breakdown product was detected in more than 50 percent of 5,057 shallow (less than 20 feet below land surface) wells and in all of the 186 stream sites that were sampled in agricultural and urban areas (Gilliom and others, 2006, p. 2-4).\r\n\r\nPesticides can contaminate surface water and groundwater from both point sources and non-point sources. Point sources are from specific locations such as spill sites, disposal sites, pesticide drift during application, and application of pesticides to control aquatic pests. Non-point sources represent the dominant source of surface water and groundwater contamination and may include agricultural and urban runoff, erosion, leaching from application sites, and precipitation that has become contaminated by upwind applications. Pesticides typically enter surface water when rainfall or irrigation exceeds the infiltration capacity of soil and resulting runoff then transports pesticides to streams, rivers, and other surface-water bodies. Contamination of groundwater may result directly from spills near poorly sealed well heads and from pesticide applications through improperly designed or malfunctioning irrigation systems that also are used to apply pesticides (chemigation; Carpenter and Johnson, 1997). Groundwater contamination also may come indirectly by the percolation of agricultural and urban irrigation water through soil layers and into groundwater and from pesticide residue in surface water, such as drainage ditches, streams, and municipal wastewater.\r\n \r\nTo protect surface water and groundwater from pesticide contamination, the USEPA requires that all states establish a pesticide management plan. The Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDOA), with assistance from the USEPA, developed a management program of education (Hefner and Donaldson, 2006), regulation (Johnson and others, 2006), and monitoring (Pennington and others, 2001) to protect Nevada's water resources from pesticide contaminants. Sampling sites are located in areas where urban or agricultural pesticide use may affect groundwater, water bodies, endangered species, and other aquatic life. Information gathered from these sites is used by NDOA to help make regulatory decisions that will protect human and environmental health by reducing and eliminating the occurrence of pesticide contamination. This fact sheet describes current (2008) pesticide monitoring of groundwater and streams by the NDOA in Nevada and supersedes Pennington and others (2001).","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/fs20093093","usgsCitation":"Thodal, C.E., Carpenter, J., and Moses, C.W., 2009, Monitoring for Pesticides in Groundwater and Surface Water in Nevada, 2008: U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2009-3093, 4 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20093093.","productDescription":"4 p.","temporalStart":"2008-01-01","temporalEnd":"2008-12-31","costCenters":[{"id":465,"text":"Nevada Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":125423,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/fs_2009_3093.jpg"},{"id":13025,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3093/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -120,35 ], [ -120,42 ], [ -114,42 ], [ -114,35 ], [ -120,35 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4b04e4b07f02db69913d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Thodal, Carl E. 0000-0003-0782-3280 cethodal@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0782-3280","contributorId":2292,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Thodal","given":"Carl","email":"cethodal@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":465,"text":"Nevada Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":303346,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Carpenter, Jon","contributorId":72040,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Carpenter","given":"Jon","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303348,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Moses, Charles W.","contributorId":28232,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Moses","given":"Charles","email":"","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303347,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}}

These uncontrolled coal fires occur in all coal-bearing parts of the world (Stracher, 2007) and pose multiple threats to the global environment because they emit greenhouse gases - carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>), and methane (CH<sub>4</sub>) - as well as mercury (Hg), carbon monoxide (CO), and other toxic substances (fig. 1). The contribution of coal fires to the global pool of atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> is little known but potentially significant. For China, the world's largest coal producer, it is estimated that anywhere between 10 million and 200 million metric tons (Mt) of coal reserves (about 0.5 to 10 percent of production) is consumed annually by coal fires or made inaccessible owing to fires that hinder mining operations (Rosema and others, 1999; Voigt and others, 2004). At this proportion of production, coal amounts lost to coal fires worldwide would be two to three times that for China. Assuming this coal has mercury concentrations similar to those in U.S. coals, a preliminary estimate of annual Hg emissions from coal fires worldwide is comparable in magnitude to the 48 tons of annual Hg emissions from all U.S. coal-fired power-generating stations combined (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 2002). In the United States, the combined cost of coal-fire remediation projects, completed, budgeted, or projected by the U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), exceeds $1 billion, with about 90% of that in two States - Pennsylvania and West Virginia (Office of Surface Mining Enforcement and Reclamation, 2008; fig. 2). Altogether, 15 States have combined cumulative OSM coal-fire project costs exceeding $1 million, with the greatest overall expense occurring in States where underground coal fires are predominant over surface fires, reflecting the greater cost of extinguishing underground fires (fig. 2) (see 'Controlling Coal Fires'). In this fact sheet we review how coal fires occur, how they can be detected by airborne and remote surveys, and, most importantly, the impact coal-fire emissions may have on the environment and human health. In addition, we describe recent efforts by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and collaborators to measure fluxes of CO<sub>2</sub>, CO, CH<sub>4</sub>, and Hg, using groundbased portable detectors, and combining these approaches with airborne thermal imaging and CO<sub>2</sub> measurements. The goal of this research is to develop approaches that can be extrapolated to large fires and to extrapolate results for individual fires in order to estimate the contribution of coal fires as a category of global emissions.</p>","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/fs20093084","usgsCitation":"Kolker, A., Engle, M., Stracher, G., Hower, J., Prakash, A., Radke, L., ter Schure, A., and Heffern, E., 2009, Emissions from coal fires and their impact on the environment: U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2009-3084, 4 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20093084.","productDescription":"4 p.","costCenters":[{"id":595,"text":"U.S. Geological Survey","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":118574,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/fs_2009_3084.jpg"},{"id":13005,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3084/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a19e4b07f02db605762","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kolker, Allan 0000-0002-5768-4533 akolker@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5768-4533","contributorId":643,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kolker","given":"Allan","email":"akolker@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":241,"text":"Eastern Energy Resources Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":303290,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Engle, Mark 0000-0001-5258-7374","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5258-7374","contributorId":9364,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Engle","given":"Mark","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303291,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Stracher, Glenn","contributorId":75650,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stracher","given":"Glenn","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303296,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Hower, James","contributorId":37842,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hower","given":"James","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303294,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Prakash, Anupma","contributorId":41101,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Prakash","given":"Anupma","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303295,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Radke, Lawrence","contributorId":81585,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Radke","given":"Lawrence","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303297,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"ter Schure, Arnout","contributorId":14528,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"ter Schure","given":"Arnout","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303293,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7},{"text":"Heffern, Ed","contributorId":10501,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Heffern","given":"Ed","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303292,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":8}]}}

U.S. Geological Survey scientists and their partners assess coral ecosystem history, ecology, vulnerability, and resiliency and provide study results to decisionmakers who may devise policies to sustain coral resources and the essential goods and services they provide.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/fs20093089","usgsCitation":"Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey, 2009, Science-Based Strategies for Sustaining Coral Ecosystems: U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2009-3089, 4 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20093089.","productDescription":"4 p.","costCenters":[{"id":186,"text":"Coastal and Marine Geology Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":125421,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/fs_2009_3089.jpg"},{"id":13006,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3089/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a0ae4b07f02db5fb8a8","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey","contributorId":128075,"corporation":true,"usgs":false,"organization":"Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey","id":535020,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

The landscape features rugged uplands - some peaks higher than 2,500 feet above sea level - with exposed rock and varying soil depths and includes extensive areas of karst terrain. The Highlands are characterized by extreme biological diversity and high endemism (uniqueness of species). Vegetation communities are dominated by open oak-hickory and shortleaf pine woodlands and forests. Included in this vegetation matrix is an assemblage of various types of fens, forests, wetlands, fluvial features, and carbonate and siliceous glades. \r\n\r\nAn ever-growing human population in the Ozark Highlands has become very dependent on reservoirs constructed on major rivers in the region and, in some cases, groundwater for household and public water supply. Because of human population growth in the Highlands and increases in industrial and agricultural activities, not only is adequate water quantity an issue, but maintaining good water quality is also a challenge. Point and nonpoint sources of excessive nutrients are an issue. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) partnership programs to monitor water quality and develop simulation tools to help stakeholders better understand strategies to protect the quality of water and the environment are extremely important.\r\n\r\nThe USGS collects relevant data, conducts interpretive studies, and develops simulation tools to help stakeholders understand resource availability and sustainability issues. Stakeholders dependent on these resources are interested in and benefit greatly from evolving these simulation tools (models) into decision support systems that can be used for adaptive management of water and ecological resources. \r\n\r\nThe interaction of unique and high-quality biological and hydrologic resources and the effects of stresses from human activities can be evaluated best by using a multidisciplinary approach that the USGS can provide. Information varying from defining baseline resource conditions to developing simulation models will help resource managers and users understand the human impact on resource sustainability. Varied expertise and experience in biological and water-resources activities across the entire Highlands make the USGS a valued collaborator in studies of Ozark ecosystems, streams, reservoirs, and groundwater. A large part of future success will depend on the involvement and active participation of key partners.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/fs20093065","usgsCitation":"Ethridge, M., 2009, The Ozark Highlands: U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2009-3065, 2 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20093065.","productDescription":"2 p.","costCenters":[{"id":172,"text":"Central Region","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":125410,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/fs_2009_3065.jpg"},{"id":13000,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3065/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"geographicExtents":"{ \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\", \"features\": [ { \"type\": \"Feature\", \"properties\": {}, \"geometry\": { \"type\": \"Polygon\", \"coordinates\": [ [ [ -96,35 ], [ -96,40 ], [ -89,40 ], [ -89,35 ], [ -96,35 ] ] ] } } ] }","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4ac7e4b07f02db67ae9d","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ethridge, Max","contributorId":69672,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ethridge","given":"Max","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303278,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Flood magnitude relates to the volume of flow that occurs over some period of time and usually is presented in cubic feet per second. Flood frequency relates to the probability of occurrence of a flood; that is, on average, what is the likelihood that a flood with a specified magnitude will occur in any given year (1 percent chance, 10 percent chance, 50 percent chance, and so on). Such flood estimates are needed for the efficient design of bridges, highway embankments, levees, and other structures near streams. In addition, these estimates are needed for the effective planning and management of land and water resources, to protect lives and property in flood-prone areas, and to determine flood-insurance rates.","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/fs20093085","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the South Carolina Department of

The well selected for study typically produces water at the rate of 700 gallons per minute from the Upper Floridan aquifer. Water samples were collected at the public-supply well and at monitoring wells installed in or near the simulated zone of contribution to the supply well. Samples of untreated water from the public-supply wellhead contained the undesirable constituents nitrate, arsenic, uranium, radon-222, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and pesticides, although all were detected at concentrations less than established drinking-water standards, where such standards exist. \r\n\r\n\r\nOverall, study findings point to four primary factors that affect the movement and fate of contaminants and the vulnerability of the public-supply well in Temple Terrace: (1) groundwater age (how long ago water entered, or recharged, the aquifer); (2) short-circuiting of contaminated water through sinkholes; (3) natural geochemical processes within the aquifer; and (4) pumping stress.\r\n\r\n\r\nAlthough the public-supply well is completed in the Upper Floridan aquifer, it produces water with concentrations of nitrate, VOCs, and the natural contaminant radon that are intermediate between the typical composition of water from the Upper Floridan aquifer and that of the overlying surficial aquifer system. Mixing calculations show that the water produced by the public-supply well could consist of upwards of 50 percent water from the surficial aquifer system mixed with water from the Upper Floridan aquifer. Anthropogenically affected water from the surficial aquifer system travels rapidly to depth through sinkholes that must be directly connected to the cavernous zone intersected by the public-supply well (and several other production wells in the region). Such solution features serve as fast pathways to the well and circumvent the natural attenuation of nitrate and radon that occurs when water from the surficial aquifer flows downward through the confining unit and then through the Upper Floridan aquifer matrix. Roughly 50 percent of the simulated flow to the public-supply well consists of water less than about 10 years old, thus making the well vulnerable to contamination from human activities.\r\n\r\nSampling at various depths in the public-supply well during pumping and nonpumping conditions showed that water entering the well from the cavernous zone had much higher arsenic concentrations during pumping conditions (18.9 ug/L) than during nonpumping conditions (4.2 ug/L). This implies that movement of arsenic to the public-supply well from the cavernous zone is enhanced by pumping. One possible explanation is that pumping increases the movement of water with elevated dissolved oxygen content through the cavernous zone, which causes dissolution of arsenic associated with pyrite. \r\n\r\n\r\nAll public-supply wells in the area may not have the same level of vulnerability as the well studied - many of the public-supply wells in the region have lower pumping rates and longer open intervals that may draw in a larger proportion of old water that predates anthropogenic influences. Determining the similarity of water produced by various public-supply wells in the region to that of the surficial aquifer system is one measure of well vulnerability that could be used to prioritize monitoring and land-use planning efforts to protect the most vulnerable wells.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/fs20093062","usgsCitation":"Jagucki, M.L., Katz, B.G., Crandall, C.A., and Eberts, S., 2009, Assessing the vulnerability of public-supply wells to contamination: Floridan aquifer system near Tampa, Florida: U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2009-3062, 6 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20093062.","productDescription":"6 p.","costCenters":[{"id":451,"text":"National Water Quality Assessment Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":118565,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/fs_2009_3062.jpg"},{"id":402773,"rank":3,"type":{"id":36,"text":"NGMDB Index Page"},"url":"https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_87196.htm"},{"id":12986,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3062/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Florida","city":"Tampa, Temple Terrance","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -82.42561340332031,\n              28.031682624216092\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.36106872558594,\n              28.031682624216092\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.36106872558594,\n              28.0681935691687\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.42561340332031,\n              28.0681935691687\n            ],\n            [\n              -82.42561340332031,\n              28.031682624216092\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4abbe4b07f02db672a7c","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Jagucki, Martha L. 0000-0003-3798-8393 mjagucki@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3798-8393","contributorId":1794,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jagucki","given":"Martha","email":"mjagucki@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"L.","affiliations":[{"id":513,"text":"Ohio Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":303236,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Katz, Brian G. bkatz@usgs.gov","contributorId":1093,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Katz","given":"Brian","email":"bkatz@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"G.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":303235,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Crandall, Christy A. crandall@usgs.gov","contributorId":1091,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Crandall","given":"Christy","email":"crandall@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":true,"id":303234,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Eberts, Sandra M. smeberts@usgs.gov","contributorId":2264,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Eberts","given":"Sandra M.","email":"smeberts@usgs.gov","affiliations":[{"id":513,"text":"Ohio Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":false,"id":303237,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}}

From 2005 to 2006, the SCDOT and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) worked cooperatively in Beaufort and Colleton Counties, South Carolina (SC), to evaluate the performance of four different structural devices that served as best management practices (BMPs). These structural devices were installed to lessen the potential effects of stormwater runoff on water quality in waterways near state roads.\r\n\r\nThe purpose of this Fact Sheet is to summarize results published in the USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2008-5150. The report documents the ability of these four BMP devices to remove suspended sediment, metals, nutrients, and organics compounds in stormwater runoff. The quantity of rainfall and stormflow and quality of stormwater entering and leaving the BMPs were monitored during 12-13 storms over a 21-month period. The results provide the SCDOT with quantitative information to evaluate whether or not the BMPs effectively enhanced stormwater quality. This information can be used by the SCDOT and other State, local, and Federal agencies in the selection of appropriate BMPs for future installation. \r\n","language":"ENGLISH","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","doi":"10.3133/fs20093001","collaboration":"Prepared in cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Transportation","usgsCitation":"Conlon, K., and Journey, C., 2009, Evaluation of Structural Best Management Practices for Highway Runoff in Beaufort and Colleton Counties, South Carolina, 2005-2006: U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2009-3001, 2 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20093001.","productDescription":"2 p.","onlineOnly":"Y","temporalStart":"2005-01-01","temporalEnd":"2006-12-31","costCenters":[{"id":559,"text":"South Carolina Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":126845,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/fs_2009_3001.jpg"},{"id":12958,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3001/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a09e4b07f02db5faf56","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Conlon, Kevin","contributorId":58366,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Conlon","given":"Kevin","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303176,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Journey, Celeste","contributorId":93585,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Journey","given":"Celeste","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":303177,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}}

Many structures in Memphis, Tenn., St. Louis, Mo., and other communities in the central Mississippi River Valley region are vulnerable and at risk from severe ground shaking. This assessment is based on decades of research on New Madrid earthquakes and related phenomena by dozens of Federal, university, State, and consulting earth scientists. \r\n\r\nConsiderable interest has developed recently from media reports that the New Madrid seismic zone may be shutting down. These reports stem from published research using global positioning system (GPS) instruments with results of geodetic measurements of strain in the Earth's crust. Because of a lack of measurable strain at the surface in some areas of the seismic zone over the past 14 years, arguments have been advanced that there is no buildup of stress at depth within the New Madrid seismic zone and that the zone may no longer pose a significant hazard. \r\n\r\nAs part of the consensus-building process used to develop the national seismic hazard maps, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) convened a workshop of experts in 2006 to evaluate the latest findings in earthquake hazards in the Eastern United States. These experts considered the GPS data from New Madrid available at that time that also showed little to no ground movement at the surface. The experts did not find the GPS data to be a convincing reason to lower the assessment of earthquake hazard in the New Madrid region, especially in light of the many other types of data that are used to construct the hazard assessment, several of which are described here.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/fs20093071","usgsCitation":"Frankel, A., Applegate, D., Tuttle, M., and Williams, R.A., 2009, Earthquake hazard in the New Madrid Seismic Zone remains a concern: U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2009-3071, 2 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20093071.","productDescription":"2 p.","costCenters":[{"id":234,"text":"Earthquake Hazards Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":300,"text":"Geologic Hazards Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":118567,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/fs_2009_3071.jpg"},{"id":12893,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3071/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}}],"country":"United States","state":"Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee","otherGeospatial":"New Madrid Seismic Zone","geographicExtents":"{\n  \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n  \"features\": [\n    {\n      \"type\": \"Feature\",\n      \"properties\": {},\n      \"geometry\": {\n        \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n        \"coordinates\": [\n          [\n            [\n              -89.923095703125,\n              35.110921809704756\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.329833984375,\n              35.34425514918409\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.505859375,\n              36.359374956015856\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.516845703125,\n              37.13404537126446\n            ],\n            [\n              -88.714599609375,\n              37.309014074275915\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.12109375,\n              37.51844023887861\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.62646484375,\n              37.34395908944491\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.296630859375,\n              36.36822190085111\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.65917968749999,\n              35.263561862152095\n            ],\n            [\n              -90.439453125,\n              35.05698043137265\n            ],\n            [\n              -89.923095703125,\n              35.110921809704756\n            ]\n          ]\n        ]\n      }\n    }\n  ]\n}","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4a52e4b07f02db62abd1","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Frankel, A.D.","contributorId":53828,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Frankel","given":"A.D.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":302988,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Applegate, D.","contributorId":52681,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Applegate","given":"D.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":302987,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Tuttle, M.P.","contributorId":90001,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Tuttle","given":"M.P.","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":302990,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Williams, R.

Many come to land only to nest and raise their young - these are species supremely adapted for life on the water, whether it be near the coast or hundreds of miles at sea. Those seabirds that reside in the North Pacific year-round are joined each summer by millions of migrant birds that leave the southern hemisphere in winter for better feeding conditions in the north. Seabirds in the Pacific remain one of the great wildlife spectacles on the earth. Yet, seabirds face a number of threats such as oil spills, introduction of predators to their nesting islands, and conflicts with fisheries. State and Federal agencies require increasingly sophisticated information on population dynamics, breeding biology, and feeding ecology to successfully manage these species and their ecosystems. Within the Western Region of the USGS, scientists from the Alaska Science Center (ASC), Western Ecological Research Center (WERC), and Pacific Islands Ecosystems Research Center are leading the way in conducting research on many of these little known species. Their aim is to improve our understanding of seabirds in the Pacific and to provide information to support informed management of the birds and their ecosystems.","language":"English","publisher":"U.S. Geological Survey","publisherLocation":"Reston, VA","doi":"10.3133/fs20093067","usgsCitation":"Kinsinger, A.E., 2009, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Western Region: Seabirds coastal and ocean science: U.S. Geological Survey Fact Sheet 2009-3067, 4 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/fs20093067.","productDescription":"4 p.","costCenters":[{"id":664,"text":"Western Region","active":false,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":125412,"rank":0,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/fs_2009_3067.jpg"},{"id":12894,"rank":100,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3067/","linkFileType":{"id":5,"text":"html"}},{"id":367519,"rank":3,"type":{"id":11,"text":"Document"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2009/3067/pdf/fs20093067.pdf"}],"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","scienceBaseUri":"4f4e4afce4b07f02db6964d3","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Kinsinger, Anne E. akinsinger@usgs.gov","contributorId":321,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Kinsinger","given":"Anne","email":"akinsinger@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":506,"text":"Office of the AD Ecosystems","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":302991,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}}

Using EDEN's tools, scientists can view the EDEN datasets of daily water-level and ground elevations, compute and view daily water depth and hydroperiod surfaces, extract data for user-specified locations, plot transects of water level, and animate water-level transects over time. Also, users can retrieve data from the EDEN datasets for analysis and display in other analysis software programs. As scientists and managers attempt to restore the natural volume, timing, and distribution of sheetflow in the wetlands, such information is invaluable.
