Water quality of Bear Creek basin, Jackson County, Oregon
Loren A. Wittenberg, Stuart W. McKenzie
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...

Ground-water availability near Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana
Michael Planert
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-34
A 3-year study to determine the groundwater potential of confined glacial aquifers in a large part of Allen County, Ind., was begun in July 1974 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Mapping of outwash sands and gravels delineated two distinct layers of sand and gravel in the southern and eastern parts...

1980, Open-File Report 80-653
This report provides a preliminary assessment of the regional geology, petroleum potential, environmental geology, and technology for development of possible oil and gas in that section of the southeastern Bering Sea, known as the Northern Aleutian Shelf, and proposed as OCS Lease Sale area #75. This summary report is in...
Base of fresh ground water, northern Louisiana Salt-Dome Basin and vicinity, northern Louisiana and southern Arkansas
G.N. Ryals
1980, Open-File Report 80-2038
The National Waste Terminal Storage Program is an effort by the U.S. Department of Energy to locate and develop sites for disposal or storage of commercially produced radioactive wastes. As part of this program, salt domes in the northern Louisiana salt-dome basin are being studied to determine their suitability as...
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...

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...
Estimating the costs of landslide damage in the United States
Robert W. Fleming, Fred A. Taylor
1980, Circular 832
Landslide damages are one of the most costly natural disasters in the United States. A recent estimate of the total annual cost of landslide damage is in excess of $1 billion {Schuster, 1978}. The damages can be significantly reduced, however, through the combined action of technical experts, government, and the...

Summary appraisals of the nation's ground-water resources – Caribbean region
Fernando Gómez-Gómez, James E. Heisel
1980, Professional Paper 813-U
The Caribbean Region consists of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (8,990 km2 (square kilometers)) and the U.S. Virgin Islands (350 km2). The mean annual precipitation varies locally from a high of 5,000 mm (millimeters) to a low of 730 mm. Maximum precipitation occurs within the peaks of Sierra de Luquillo,...

Stratigraphy of mid-Cretaceous formations at drilling sites in Weston and Johnson counties, northeastern Wyoming
E.A. Mereweather
1980, Professional Paper 1186-A
The sedimentary rocks of early Late Cretaceous age in Weston County, Wyo., on the east flank of the Powder River Basin, are assigned, in ascending order, to the Belle Fourche Shale, Greenhorn Formation, and Carlile Shale. In Johnson County, on the west flank of the basin, the lower Upper Cretaceous...

Seawater intrusion and potential yield of aquifers in the Soquel-Aptos area, Santa Cruz County, California
K. S. Muir
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-84
Seawater has intruded the Purisima Formation in the interval 0-100 feet below sea level in the Soquel-Aptos area. It occurs in the central part of the area and extends inland about half a mile. The potential yields of the two principal aquifers in the Soquel-Aptos area are 4,400 acre-feet per...
Three-dimensional digital-computer model of the Ferron sandstone aquifer near Emery, Utah
Daniel J. Morrissey, Gregory C. Lines, Scott D. Bartholoma
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-62
A three-dimensional finite-difference computer model of the Ferron sand-stone aquifer was used to simulate ground-water flow in the Emery coal field in east-central Utah. The model also was used to predict the effects of pro-posed surface mining and the resulting mine dewatering on potentiometric sur-faces of the aquifer. The model...
