Occurrence and distribution of selected metals in streams near Huntsville, Alabama
E. R. German, Alfred L. Knight
1973, Circular 679
Arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, lead, mercury, and zinc are widely distributed around Huntsville, Ala. However, concentrations of these metals in streamflow in the vicinity of the Huntsville municipal water intake during June, August, and September 1971 did not exceed the limits recommended for a public drinking water supply. The occurrence...
Lithium in surficial materials of the conterminous United States and partial data on cadmium

Summary of seismic activity and its relation to geology and mining in the Sunnyside mining district, Carbon and Emery Counties, Utah, during 1967-1970
C. Richard Dunrud, Frank W. Osterwald, Jerome Hernandez
1973, Open-File Report 73-63
In the Sunnyside mining district, Utah, coal is mined under thick and variable overburden which is locally weakened by faults and other structural discontinuities. Stress changes and local stress concentrations produced by mining under these conditions often cause sudden and violent ruptures in the coal and surrounding rock mass. The...
Geologic appraisal of Paradox basin salt deposits for water emplacement
Robert J. Hite, Stanley William Lohman
1973, Open-File Report 73-114
Thick salt deposits of Middle Pennsylvanian age are present in an area of 12,000 square miles in the Paradox basin of southeast Utah and southwest Colorado. The deposits are in the Paradox Member of the Hermosa Formation. The greatest thickness of this evaporite sequence is in a troughlike depression adjacent...
Geologic setting and chemical characteristics of hot springs in central and western Alaska
Thomas P. Miller, Ivan Barnes, William Wallace Pattan Jr.
1973, Open-File Report 73-188
Numerous hot springs occur in a variety of geologic provinces in central and western Alaska. Granitic plutons are common to all the provinces and the hot springs are spatially associated with the contacts of these plutons. Of 23 hot springs whose bedrock geology is known, all occur within 3 miles...

This report encompasses the results of geologic and geochemical investigations made in a 40 square kilometer area located on the southeast perimeter of the ring structure, an area where previous geochemical exploration revealed anomalous...
Barite in Pakistan
F.L. Klinger, R.L. Richards
1973, Open-File Report 73-145
Before 1953 almost no barite deposits were known in Pakistan. Discovery of such deposits relatively close to oil fields in northern Pakistan in 1953 led to increased barite production from 1957 to 1961 and to doubling of production in 1962, firmly establishing new industry for the country. During 1962 and...
