Remaining recoverable reserves of oil* and as in the Gulf of Mexico Outer Continental Shelf area have been estimated to be about 2.76 billion barrels of oil and 37.2 trillion cubic feet of gas, as of January 1, 1979. These reserves are recoverable from 370 studied fields under the Federal...
Effects of post-impoundment shore modifications on fish populations in Missouri River reservoirs
Norman Gustaf Benson
1980, Research Report 80
In the Missouri River main stem reservoirs in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota, hydrodynamic processes have decreased the lengths of shorelines and changed their configuration during the first 20 to 25 years of impoundment. Shale shores of Lakes Fort Peck, Oahe, Sharpe, and Francis Case were rapidly eroded by...

Quality of ground water in Routt County, northwestern Colorado
Kenneth J. Covay, R.L. Tobin
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-956
Chemical and bacteriological data were collected to describe the quality of water from selected geologic units in Routt County, Colo. Calcium bicarbonate was the dominant water-chemistry type; magnesium, sodium, and sulfate frequently occurred as codominant ions. Specific conductance values ranged from 50 to 6,000 micromhos. Mean values of specific conductance,...
