Geology, petrology, and chemistry of the Leadville Dolomite: host for uranium at the Pitch Mine, Saguache County, Colorado
J. Thomas Nash
1979, Open-File Report 79-1566
Newly documented uranium ore in the Pitch Mine occurs chiefly in brecciated Mississippian Leadville Dolomite along the Chester reverse fault zone, and to a lesser extent in sandstone, siltstone, and carbonaceous shale of the Pennsylvanian Belden Formation and in Precambrian granitic rocks and schist. Uranium-mineralized zones are generally thicker, more...
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...
The use of soil-gas helium concentrations for earthquake prediction: Studies of factors causing diurnal variation
G. Michael Reimer
1979, Open-File Report 79-1623
The diurnal variation in the soil-gas helium concentration was monitored at depths of 0.5-2 m. Barometric pressure, air temperature, wind speed, soil temperature, soil moisture, relative humidity, and precipitation were also monitored. The helium variation below a 1-m sampling depth usually did not exceed the analytical sensitivity limit of +10...
Susceptibility of the Memphis water supply to contamination from the pesticide waste-disposal site in northeastern Hardeman County, Tennessee
Donald Robert Rima
1979, Open-File Report 79-750
Public concern has been expressed over the possiblity that leachates from a pesticide waste-disposal site in northeastern Hardeman County, Tennessee, might eventually reach the Memphis area and endanger the city 's water supply. An examination of the possible pathways and means of transport of these contaminants reveals that, the Memphis...

Analytical and stratigraphic data on the upper phosphatic mudstone member of the Santa Margarita Formation at Newsome Canyon, southern Cuyama Valley, California
Albert Eugene Roberts
1979, Open-File Report 79-1466
A detailed stratigraphic and geochemical program was conducted in 1978 on the strata of the upper phosphatic mudstone member of the Santa Margarita Formation at Newsome Canyon, Santa Barbara County, California, (fig 1). This program was undertaken to determine the phosphate content of each stratigraphic unit in an area of...
Exploratory drilling during 1979 in the McCallum coal field, Jackson County, Colorado
Thomas J. Piccirilli
1979, Open-File Report 79-1629
Rotary drilling of two drill holes in the McCallum coal field, Jackson County, Colorado, was completed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in July 1979. The holes are within the area of the short-term lease application. C-27931 held by Wyoming Fuels of Lakewood, Colorado.Drill-hole GNW1 is located in T....

Mathematical model for simulating discharges on the Sabine River between Tatum and Ruliff, Texas
Braxtel L. Neely
1979, Open-File Report 79-566
A mathematical model for simulating discharges on the Sabine River between Tatum and Ruliff, TX., was developed to evaluate the effects of release schedules on discharges from the Toledo Bend Reservoir compared to discharges under natural conditions. Using the discharge at Tatum, TX., the rainfall over the basin, and the...
January 1979 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas
Marilyn E. Pabst
1979, Open-File Report 79-925
This report contains hydrologic data on water-level measurements in observation wells in western and south-central Kansas. The measurements were made in mid-winter, mostly in January, when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. This report also provides basic hydrologic...
