1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1494
There is no evidence of significant metallic-mineral deposits in the rock units that are exposed at the surface in the wilderness, but there may be some potential for mineral deposits of two different types at depths from 400ft (120 m) to more than 2,100 ft (640 m) below the surface....

1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1344-E
During 1979, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines conducted field investigations to evaluate the mineral resource potential of the Hells Hole Further Planning Area. The investigations included geologic mapping, geophysical studies, geochemical sampling, and a survey of known mines, prospects, and mineralized areas. This report summarizes...

Geologic maps of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, California
Brian F. Atwater
1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1401
The Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, the arm of the San Francisco Bay estuary that reaches into the Central Valley of California, differs from typical coastal-plain deltas in three important respects. First, rather than meeting the ocean individually and directly, all major waterways of this delta discharge via a single constricted outlet...

Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and the Joint conference Report on Senate Bill 4, 88th Congress, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," wild,"...

Map showing some potential effects of petroleum spills on shorelines of the Port Townsend quadrangle, central Puget Sound region, Washington
R. F. Keuler
1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1238
Waterborne transport of crude oil into the Puget Sound region has increased rapidly since 1972 and may take another sharp increase during the next few years. In 1972, waterborne delivery of petroleum averaged 45,000 bdp (barrels per day); by 1972, the average had increased to 105,000 bpd (Pizzo and others,...

1982, Water Data Report NV-81-1
Water-resources data published herein for the 1981 water year comprise the following records: Water discharge for 132 gaging stations on streams, canals, and drains. Discharge data for 82 peak-flow stations and 7 low-flow stations on streams. Stage and contents for 21 lakes and reservoirs. Water levels for 235 observation wells....
Geochemical survey of the Cohutta Wilderness and the Hemp Top Roadless Area, northern Georgia and southeastern Tennessee

1982, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1415-B
The contiguous Cohutta Wilderness and Hemp Top Roadless Area are in the western part of the Blue Ridge physiographic province of northern Georgia and southeastern Tennessee (fig. 1). All of the study area is in Georgia except an irregular strip of land about 1 mi at its widest on the...
Drainage divides, Massachusetts-Hudson River basin
S. William Wandle Jr.
1982, Open-File Report 81-1199
Drainage boundaries for selected subbasins in northern Berkshire County, Massachusetts, are delineated on five topographic quadrangle maps at a scale of 1:24,000. Drainage basins are shown for all U.S. Geological Survey data-collection sites and for mouths of major rivers. Drainage basins are shown for the outlets of lakes or ponds...

Land subsidence in the San Joaquin Valley, California, as of 1980
R. L. Ireland, J. F. Poland, F. S. Riley
1982, Open-File Report 82-370
Land subsidence due to ground-water overdraft in the San Joaquin Valley began in the mid-1920 's and continued at alarming rates until surface was imported through major canals and aqueducts in the 1950 's and late 1960's. In areas where surface water replaced withdrawal of ground-water, water levels in the...
Investigation of trends in flooding in the Tug Fork basin of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia
Robert M. Hirsch, Arthur G. Scott, Timothy Wyant
1982, Water Supply Paper 2203
Statistical analysis indicates that the average size of annual-flood peaks of the Tug Fork (Ky., Va., and W. Va.) has been increasing. However, additional statistical analysis does not indicate that the flood levels that were exceeded typically once or twice a year in the period 1947-79 are any more likely...
A study of surface and subsurface ground motions at Calico Hills, Nevada Test Site
Kenneth W. King
1982, Open-File Report 82-1044
A study of earthquake ground motions recorded at depth in a drill hole and at the ground surface has derived the surface to subsurface transfer functions such as might be expected at a potential nuclear waste repository in a similar setting. The site under investigation has small seismic velocity contrasts...

Temporal trends in the acidity of precipitation and surface waters of New York
Norman E. Peters, Roy A. Schroeder, David E. Troutman
1982, Water Supply Paper 2188
Statistical analyses of precipitation data from a nine-station monitoring network indicate little change in pH from 1965-78 within New York State as a whole but suggest that pH of bulk precipitation has decreased in the western part of the State by approximately 0.2 pH units since 1965 and increased in...

Estimation of response-spectral values as functions of magnitude, distance, and site conditions
W. B. Joyner, David M. Boore
1982, Open-File Report 82-881
We have developed empirical predictive equations for the horizontal pseudo-velocity response at 5-percent damping for 12 different periods from 0.1 to 4.0 s. Using a multiple linear-regression method similar to the one we used previously for peak horizontal acceleration and velocity, we analyzed response spectra period by period for 64...

1982, Open-File Report 82-353
Specific conductance and dissolved chloride reconnasissance sampling was conducted in six oil-producing areas of Mississippi during periods of low streamflow in 1980 and 1981. Water samples were collected at 224 ground-water and 190 suface-water sites. Samples from 55 surface-water and 17 ground-water sites contained dissolved chloride concentrations in excess of...
