Plan of study for the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain Regional Aquifer System Analysis
Harold Meisler
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-16
Sediments of Cretaceous to Holocene age compose the Northern Atlantic Coastal Plain aquifer system in an area of 50,000 square miles in parts of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. The aquifer system is a major source of water supply in the area. About 1.4 billion...
Simulation of water-quality data at selected stream sites in the Missouri River Basin, Montana
J. R. Knapton, M.A. Jacobson
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-76
Modification of sampling programs at some water-quality stations in the Missouri River basin in Montana has eliminated the means by which solute loads have been directly obtained in past years. To compensate for this loss, water-quality and streamflow data were statistically analyzed and solute loads were simulated using computer techniques.Functional...

1980, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1211
Coal of low-volatile to high-volatile A bituminous rank is the principal developed mineral resource in the Jewell Ridge quadrangle. The coal beds in the Jewell Ridge quadrangle contain total estimated original resources of 1,519 million tons. Of this total, 108 million tons have been mined or lost in mining, leaving...
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...
Distribution of nitrate in the unsaturated zone, Highland-East Highlands area, San Bernardino County, California
John M. Klein, Wesley L. Bradford
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-48
Nitrogen in the unsaturated soil zone in the Highland-East Highlands area of San Bernardino County, Calif., has been suspected as the source of nitrate in water from wells. Plans to recharge the local aquifers with imported surface water would raise the water table and intercept that nitrogen. This study was...

Statistical analyses of surface-water-quality variables in the coal area of southeastern Montana
J. R. Knapton, Rodger F. Ferreira
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-40
Since 1974 a network of water-quality stations has been operated in the coal area of southeastern Montana. This report updates a previous report with 2 years of additional data collection and presents statistics and regression equations for water-quality variables. The most apparent feature of the study is the variability of...

Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas Information Program: Pacific index (January 1962-October 1980)
Sharon L. Kolasinski
1980, Open-File Report 80-1201
The United States is currently engaged in an effort to develop the oil and gas resources of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). In the Pacific, State jurisdiction extends for 3 geographical (nautical) miles (5.56 km) from the coastline. The OCS, which comprises the submerged lands of the Continental Shelf seaward...

J.A. Callahan
1980, Open-File Report 83-224
Large quantities of good quality ground and surface water are readily available in nearly all parts of Mississippi, and there is also an abundant supply of saline water in the estuaries along the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The total estimated water use in the State in 1980 from groundwater and surface...

Ground-water hydrology of James City County, Virginia
John F. Harsh
1980, Open-File Report 80-961
Urbanization and increase in water demand prompted a 2-year study of groundwater availability and quality in the county of James City. The coastal-plain sediments, parts of which underlie the county, are the largest source of groundwater in Virginia. Four aquifers form the complex aquifer system. Hydraulic characteristics vary from aquifer...
