Thrust fault zones in the Allegheny Plateau of north-central Pennsylvania
Howard A. Pohn, Terri L. Purdy
1979, Open-File Report 79-1604
Field investigations in the Williamsport Valley identify lineaments found on Landsat III images, have shown the presence of six discrete fault zones that strike subparallel to the trend of the Appalachian folds. These zones range from 0.5 to 1.75 km in width and from at least 10 km to more...
Physical and chemical properties of San Francisco Bay waters, 1969-1976
Richard E. Smith, Raynol E. Herndon, Dana D. Harmon
1979, Open-File Report 79-511
Basic data on the physical and chemical properties of San Francisco Bay are presented here. Samples were collected over the period 1969-1976 at approximately six-week intervals at 36 stations. The stations were located along the axis of the Bay from Calaveras Point in South San Francisco Bay to the town...

Sediment transport in the Tanana River in the vicinity of Fairbanks, Alaska, 1977-78
Robert L. Burrows, Bruce Parks, William W. Emmett
1979, Open-File Report 79-1539
Measurements of the sediment load of the Tanana River in the vicinity of Fairbanks, Alaska, show that suspended-sediment transport rate in tons per day, relates to water discharge, in cubic feet per second, as: Suspended-sediment transport rate (tons/day) = 5.717 x 10 to the minus 8th power x water discharge...

Hydrologic evaluation of the Alton reclamation-study site, Alton coal field, Utah
G. W. Sandberg
1979, Open-File Report 79-346
This investigation was conducted from July 1974 to September 1977 to define general hydrologic conditions at a reclamation-study site in the Alton coal field near Kanab, Utah. The average annual streamflow through the area was less than 600 acre-feet (0.7 cubic hectometer), and the water carried little sediment except during...
Availability of palynomorph and foraminifera microscope slides from test wells of National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska; group 1
Roger J. Witmer
1979, Open-File Report 80-193
The first group of palynomorph (pollen, spores, dinoflagellates, acritarchs) and Foraminifera microscope slides prepared from test wells drilled during the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (N.P.R.A.) program and the earlier Naval Petroleum Reserve No. 4 (N.P.R.-4) program are now being made available for examination. Jurisdiction of N.P.R.-4 was transferred from...

Borehole gravity surveys in native-sulfur deposits, Culberson and Pecos counties, Texas
James W. Schmoker, Stephen L. Robbins
1979, Open-File Report 79-361
Native-sulfur deposits in west Texas are heterogeneous, with sulfur content and formation properties varying significantly over small vertical and horizontal distances. The zone of recovery of the Frasch process extends tens or even hundreds of feet around each recovery well, but the investigation depth of most wire-line logs is measured...
Soil-gas helium concentrations in the vicinity of a uranium deposit, Red Desert, Wyoming
G.M. Reimer, C.G. Bowles
1979, Open-File Report 79-975
A survey of the helium concentration in soil-gas was conducted in the Red Desert Area, Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The area studied is directly over a low-grade uranium deposit that may be suitable for recovery by in-situ leaching techniques. The area was sampled twice, once in December, 1977, and again in...

Technique for estimating depth of 100-year floods in New Jersey
A. J. Velnich, Stanley L. Laskowski
1979, Open-File Report 79-419
Techniques are developed for use in estimating 100-year flood depths on New Jersey streams. Equations and graphs are presented relating the 100-year flood depth above the mean annual flood to drainage area and area of lakes and swamps. Separate relations for the Coastal Plain and non-Coastal Plain streams in the...
Fluid inclusions in salt from the Rayburn and Vacherie domes, Louisiana
Edwin Roedder, H. E. Belkin
1979, Open-File Report 79-1675
Core samples from the Rayburn and Vacherie salt domes in Louisiana were examined for fluid inclusions, in connection with the possible use of such domes for nuclear waste storage sites. Three types of fluid inclusions were found, brine, compressed gas, and oil (in decreasing volume percent abundance). The total amount...

Uranium, thorium, and mercury distribution through the evolution of the McDermitt Caldera complex
James J. Rytuba, W.K. Conrad, Richard K. Glanzman
1979, Open-File Report 79-541
The McDermitt caldera complex developed over a period of 5 m.y. years during which ash-flow tuff sheets anomalous in mercury, uranium, and thorium were emplaced. The moat portions of the caldera complex were subsequently filled with tuffaceous sediments. Late in the caldera development near-surface intrusives and domes were emplaced along...
Digital-transport model study of Diisopropylmethylphosphonate (DIMP) ground-water contamination at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Colorado
James W. Warner
1979, Open-File Report 79-676
Diisopropylmethylphosphonate (DIMP) is an organic compound produced as a byproduct of the manufacture and detoxification of GB nerve gas. Ground-water contamination by DIMP from the disposal of wastes into unlined surface ponds at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal occurred from 1952 to 1956. A digital-transport model was used to determine the...

1979, Open-File Report 79-413
The Santa Ynez Indian Reservation is situated above a bedrock ridge that forms the southern boundary of the Santa Ynez upland ground-water basin. A pumping depression exists upgradient from the reservation, and water levels have declined an average of 1.0 to 1.5 feet per year since the 1940's. This decline...
