Water-resources data, 1970-75, for Perris Valley and vicinity, Riverside County, California
David J. Lang
1979, Open-File Report 79-1256
In 1969 the U.S. Geological Survey began in Perris Valley, Calif., to determine changes in the hydrologic regime as a rural area becomes urbanized. The investigations spanned several years when precipitation was below normal in most of southern California. Surface-water records were collected for a 6-year period at 21 sites, and...

1979, Open-File Report 79-422
The computed annual yields for subbasins in the Arkansas River basin as defined in the Arkansas River Basin Compact, Arkansas-Oklahoma, 1972, are presented in this report. The area bounded by the Compact is shown in figure 1.This report was prepared by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey...
Uranium and organic matters: use of pyrolysis-gas chromatography, carbon, hydrogen, and uranium contents to characterize the organic matter from sandstone-type deposits
Joel S. Leventhal
1979, Open-File Report 79-942
Organic matter seems to play an important role in the genesis of uranium deposits in sandstones in the western United States. Organic materials associated with ore from the Texas coastal plain, Tertiary basins of Wyoming, Grants mineral belt of New Mexico, and the Uravan mineral belt of Utah and Colorado...
Some peat deposits in Penobscot County, Maine
Cornelia Clermont Cameron, Walter A. Anderson
1979, Open-File Report 79-1096
Twenty of the peat deposits in Penobscot County, Maine contain an estimated 29,282,000 short tons air-dried peat. The peat is chiefly sphagnum moss and reed-sedge of high quality according to ASTM standards for agricultural and horticultural use. Analyses show that this same volume has high fuel value, low sulfur and...
Water-quality investigation of the Caney Creek watershed, northeast Arkansas
T.E. Lamb, G. Newsom
1979, Open-File Report 79-1064
The results of a 1-year study, in 1977-78, of surface-water quality in the Caney Creek watershed are presented to document conditions before implementation of Soil Conservation Service programs. Analyses of samples collected at two sites shows that water in Caney Creek and Caney Creek Ditch is of good quality with...

Key to the common marine molluscs of Texas
Gary W. Hill
1979, Open-File Report 79-969
A dichotomous key is developed which provides the investigator a means for identifying the common marine molluscs on the Texas coast. The key is written as to allow the user to stop or begin at any desired taxonomic level (class, order, superfamily, family, genus, species) depending on prior knowledge or...

Stratigraphy and paleoenvironment of Miocene phosphatic rocks in the East San Francisco Bay region, California
James M. Hill
1979, Open-File Report 79-1570
A stratigraphic study of the Monterey Group in the East San Francisco Bay Region, California, indicates that a depositional basin began to subside in early to middle Miocene time. The Miocene sea transgressed from the west or southwest, and the area subsided to a possible water depth of 500 to...
Ground-water quality in selected areas of Wisconsin
S. M. Hindall
1979, Open-File Report 79-1594
Analysis of 2,071 ground-water samples from 970 wells throughout Wisconsin indicate large variations in ground-water quality. Ground water in Wisconsin is generally suitable for most uses, but in some areas concentrations of chemical constituents exceed recommended drinking-water standards. Iron, manganese, and nitrate commonly exceed recommended drinking-water standards and dissolved solids,...

Streamflow Estimates in Selected Wisconsin Streams
R.P. Novitzki
1979, Open-File Report 79-1282
The Wisconsin Department of natural Resources needs streamflow information in lake basins where lake-rehabilitation programs are implemented but where long-term stream-gaging stations are not justified. The U.S. Geological Survey provided streamflow estimates for 24 streams in Wisconsin. The estimates were made by the use of (1) midmonthly measurements, (2) basin...
HYPOELLIPSE: A computer program for determining local earthquake hypocentral parameters, magnitude, and first motion pattern
John C. Lahr
1979, Open-File Report 79-431
HYPOELLIPSE is a computer program for determining the hypocenters of local or near regional earthquakes and for each event the ellipsoid which encloses the one standard deviation region. Traveltimes are determined from a horizontally layered crustal structure or from a linear increase of velocity with depth. Arrival times for the...

1979, Open-File Report 79-243
The Cement oil field, Oklahoma, was a test site for an experiment designed to evaluate LANDSAT's capability to detect an alteration zone in surface rocks caused by hydrocarbon microseepage. Loss of iron and impregnation of sandstone by carbonate cements and replacement of gypsum by calcite are the major alteration phenomena...
