Isolation of uranium mill tailings and their component radionuclides from the biosphere; some earth science perspectives
Edward Landa
1980, Circular 814
Uranium mining and milling is an expanding activity in the. Western United States. Although the milling process yields a uranium concentrate, the large volume of tailings remaining contains about 85 percent of the radioactivity originally associated with the ore. By virtue of the physical and chemical processing of the ore...
Nutrient yield of the Apalachicola River flood plain, Florida; water-quality assessment plan
H. C. Mattraw Jr., John F. Elder
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-51
The Apalachicola River in northwestern Florida is the location of one of four current U.S. Geological Survey National River Quality Assessments. The investigation of the Apalachicola River and flood plain is designed to quantify the organic detritus and nutrient yield to the productive, estuarine Apalachicola Bay. The extensive riverine flood...

Biogeochemical evidence for subsurface hydrocarbon occurrence, Recluse oil field, Wyoming: Preliminary results
Mary C. Dalziel, Terrence J. Donovan
1980, Circular 837
Anomalously high manganese-to-iron ratios occurring in pine needles and sage leaves over the Recluse oil field, Wyoming, suggest effects of petroleum microseepage on the plants. This conclusion is supported by iron and manganese concentrations in soils and carbon and oxygen isotope ratios in rock samples. Seeping hydrocarbons provided reducing conditions...
Sediment transport of streams tributary to San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun Bays, California, 1909-66
George Porterfield
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-64
A review of historical sedimentation data is presented, results of sediment-data collection for water years 1957-59 are summarized, and long-term sediment-discharge estimates from a preliminary report are updated. Comparison of results based on 3 years of data to those for the 10 water years, 1957-66, provides an indication of the...

Field data describing the movement and storage of sediment in the East Fork River, Wyoming: Part II, Bed elevations, 1979
Robert H. Meade, Robert M. Myrick, William W. Emmett
1980, Open-File Report 80-1190
At 39 cross sections in a 3.3-kilometer reach of East Fork River Wyo., bed elevations were measured daily during a month-long period that included the peak snowmelt runoff. Elevations were measured at less frequent intervals for a week before and several weeks after peak runoff. Considerable scour and fill was...

Chemical analyses of coal from the Dakota and Straight Cliffs formations, southwestern Utah region, Kane and Garfield counties, Utah
Ronald H. Affolter, Joseph R. Hatch
1980, Open-File Report 80-138
As part of a continuing program by the U.S. Geological Survey to collect and chemically analyze representative samples of U.S. coals, 26 coal samples were collected from the Cretaceous Dakota and Straight Cliffs Formations, Southwestern Utah Region, Kane and Garfield Counties, Utah. Seven samples are from four core holes in...
Potential hazards from future eruptions in the vicinity of Mount Shasta Volcano, Northern California
C. Dan Miller
1980, Bulletin 1503
Mount Shasta has erupted, on the average, at least once per 800 years during the last 10,000 years, and about once per 600 years during the last 4,500 years. The last known eruption occurred about 200 radiocarbon years ago. Eruptions during the last 10,000 years produced lava flows and domes...

1980, Open-File Report 80-162
Evaluation of flood hazards, and the planning, design, and operation of various facilities on flood plains requires information on floods. This report provides information on flood stages and discharges, flood magnitude and frequency, bench mark data, and flood profiles for the Raccoon River and some of its tributaries. It covers...
Seismic evidence for an extensive gas-bearing layer at shallow depth, offshore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
Gary Wynn Boucher, Erk Reimnitz, Edward W. Kempema
1980, Open-File Report 80-809
High resolution seismic reflection data recorded offshore from Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, were processed digitally to determine the reflectivity structure of the uppermost layers of the seafloor. A prominent reflector found at 27 m below the mudline (water depths 7-9 m) has a negative reflection coefficient greater than 0.5. The large...

1980, Open-File Report 80-158
Water-quality data identify surface-water-quality problems in Bear Creek basin, Jackson County, Oreg., where possible, their causes or sources. Irrigation and return-flow data show pastures are sources of fecal coliform and fecal streptococci bacteria and sinks for suspended sediment and nitrite-plus-nitrate nitrogen. Bear Creek and its tributaries have dissolved oxygen and...
