Quality of streams in the Bull Mountains region, south-central Montana
J. R. Knapton
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-2
In October 1977, water-quality monitoring stations were established on five small streams that drain the Bull Mountains and also on the Musselshell River to document present water-quality conditions in a coal area of south-central Montana. Relatively static water-quality conditions exist throughout the annual flow cycle on the small streams but...

1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-37
The Prairie Dog Creek drainage basin in southeastern Montana was investigated during 1978-79 to assess the surface-water and ground-water resources and the quality of water in an area having coal-mining potential. The area, a 24.2-square-mile basin, is located 30 miles southwest of Ash-land, Montana. The principal mineable coal is the...

Hydrologic-information needs for oil-shale development, northwestern Colorado
O.J. Taylor
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4076
Hydrologic information is not adequate for proper development of the large oil-shale reserves of Piceance basin in northwestern Colorado. Exploratory drilling and aquifer testing are needed to define the hydrologic system, to provide wells for aquifer testing, to design mine-drainage techniques, and to explore for additional water supplies. Sampling networks...

Habitat Suitability Index Models: Juvenile spot
Robert R. Stickney, Michael L. Cuenco
1982, FWS/OBS 82/10.20
A review and synthesis of existing information were used to develop estuarine habitat models for juvenile spot (Leiostomus xanthurus). The models are scaled to produce an index of habitat suitability between 0 (unsuitable habitat) to 1 (optimally suitable habitat) for estuarine areas of the continental United States. Habitat suitability indexes...
