D.B. Hoover, W. F. Hanna, L. A. Anderson, V. J. Flanigan, L. W. Pankratz
1982, Open-File Report 82-145
A wide variety of geophysical methods were employed to study a proposed nuclear waste site at Syncline Ridge on the Nevada Test Site, Nev. The proposed site was believed to be a relatively undisturbed synclinal structure containing a thick argillite unit of Misslsslppian age, the Eleana Formation unit J, which...

Depth and temperature of permafrost on the Alaskan Arctic Slope; preliminary results
Arthur H. Lachenbruch, J.H. Sass, L.A. Lawver, M.C. Brewer, T.H. Moses
1982, Open-File Report 82-1039
As permafrost is defined by its temperature, the only way to determine its depth is to monitor the return to equilibrium of temperatures in boreholes that penetrate permafrost. Such measurements are under way in 25 wells on the Alaskan Arctic Slope; 21 are in Naval Petroleum Reserve Alaska (NPRA), and...
Development of ground-water resources in Orange County, Texas, and adjacent areas in Texas and Louisiana, 1971-80
C.W. Bonnet, R.K. Gabrysch
1982, Open-File Report 82-330
Pumpage in Orange County from the lower unit of the Chicot aquifer averaged 21.2 million gallons per day (0.93 cubic meter per second) and pumpage from the upper unit of the Chicot averaged about 2 million gallons per day (0.088 cubic meter per second) from 1971-79. Annual pumpage increased in...
Depositional history of Louisiana-Mississippi outer continental shelf
J. L. Kindinger, R. J. Miller, C. E. Stelting
1982, Open-File Report 82-1077
A geological study was undertaken in 1981 in the Louisiana-Mississippi outer continental shelf for the Bureau of Land Management. The study included a high-resolution seismic reflection survey, surficial sediment sampling and surface current drifter sampling. Approximately 7100 sq km of the Louisiana-Mississippi shelf and upper slope were surveyed. The sea...

The Giles County, Virginia, seismogenic zone-- Seismological results and geological interpretations
G. A. Bollinger, Russell L. Wheeler
1982, Open-File Report 82-585
This paper describes and interprets a newly-recognized 40-km-long seismogenic zone, which is inferred to have been the locus of a damaging earthquake in 1897. That shock was the second largest known to have occurred in the southeastern United States (MMI VIII, mb estimated at 5.8, felt over 725,000 km2). It...

Water resources data, New York, water year 1981; Volume 1. Eastern New York excluding Long Island
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1982, Water Data Report NY-81-1
Water resources data for the 1981 water year for New York consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels of ground-water wells. This volume contains records for water discharge at 105 gaging stations; stage only...

Ground water and geology of Marquette County, Michigan
C. J. Doonan, J. L. Van Alstine
1982, Open-File Report 82-501
Ground-water resources of Marquette County are about evenly divided between bedrock aquifers and aquifers in glacial deposits. In the northern and the extreme southern parts of the county, most wells are completed in bedrock at depths less than 100 feet. In the central part, most wells are completed in glacial...
South Atlantic summary report 2: A revision of Outer Continental Shelf oil and gas activities in the South Atlantic (U.S.) and their onshore impacts, a summary report, July 1980
Jeffrey L. Deis, Frederick N. Kurz, Elizabeth O. Porter
1982, Open-File Report 82-15
The search for oil and gas on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) in the South Atlantic Region began in 1960, when geophysical surveys of the area were initiated. In 1977, a Continental Offshore Stratigraphic Test (COST) well was drilled in the Southeast Georgia Embayment. In March 1978, the first lease...
Hydrologic data from test wells and low-flow investigations in the middle reach of the Eagle River valley, Alaska; 1980-81
Gary Deeter, R.S. George
1982, Open-File Report 82-362
Test wells and low-flow investigations in the Eagle River valley , Alaska, were used to evaluate the feasibility of developing ground water for a public supply. Aquifers capable of supplying large yield wells were not indicated in any of the drilling areas. The data include: results of low-flow seepage investigations...

Trichloroethylene in the ground-water supply of Pease Air Force Base, Portsmouth, New Hampshire
Edward Bradley
1982, Open-File Report 80-557
TCE (trichloroethylene) in concentrations that may be hazardous to health occurs in the water of an ice-contact largely sand and gravel aquifer (called the main aquifer) underlying much of the PAFB (Pease Air Force Base). In 1977 and 1978, the highest TCE concentration was found surrounding the most productive well,...

Temperatures and interval geothermal-gradient determinations from wells in National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska
D.C. Blanchard, I.L. Tailleur
1982, Open-File Report 82-391
Temperature and related records from 28 wells in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPRA) although somewhat constrained from accuracy by data gathering methods, extrapolate to undisturbed formation temperatures at specific depths below permafrost, and lead to calculated geothermal gradients between these depths. Tabulation of the results show that extrapolated...
