Lakes of Oregon, Volume 3: Hood River, Multnomah, Washington and Yamhill Counties
M.V. Shulters
1975, Report
An inventory of lakes and reservoirs of Oregon is essential for a complete evaluation of the total surface-water supply of the State and to provide a basis for answering questions about Oregon's lakes. Much of the information on lakes and reservoirs previously collected by Federal and State agencies has never...

Building stones of our Nation's Capital
Charles F. Withington
1975, Report
The buildings of our Nation's Capital serve as an unusual geologic display, for the city has been constructed with rocks from quarries throughout the United States and many distant lands. Each building is a unique museum that not only displays the important features of various stones and the geologic environment...

Water-resources investigations of the U.S. Geological Survey in the northern Great Plains coal region of Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota, 1975
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1975, Report
The Geological Survey's Water Resources Division has for many years maintained a program of water-resources investigations that includes the coal regions of Wyoming, Montana, and North Dakota. These programs have been supported by State and local agencies and by other agencies of the Federal government, largely to provide data for...
Selected water-quality data from Fallen Leaf Lake, El Dorado County, California, June through October 1974
Richard H. Fuller
1975, Report
In 1974 the U.S. Geological Survey entered into a cooperative agreement with the California Department of Water Resources to study the limnology of Fallen Leaf Lake and adjacent streams. The lake is in California, near the crest of the Sierra Nevada about 23 miles southwest of Reno, Nevada (fig. 1)....
Channel erosion surveys along southern segment of the TAPS route, Alaska, 1972 and 1973
Joseph M. Childers
1975, Report
This report presents descriptions of preconstruction conditions at selected stream-channel sites along the southern segments of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System from Flood Creek to Valdez. The information presented can be used in studies of severe channel erosion streambed scour, bank erosion, or rechannelization. The report also presents a plan for...

Channel erosion surveys along TAPS route, Alaska, 1974
Joseph Childers, Stanley H. Jones
1975, Report
Repeated site surveys and aerial photographs at 26 stream crossings along the trans-Alaska pipeline system (TAPS) route during the period 1969-74 provide chronologie records of channel changes that predate pipeline-related construction at the sites. The 1974 surveys and photographs show some of the channel changes wrought by construction of the...
History of irrigation and characteristics of streamflow in northern Nebraska
F.B. Shaffer
1975, Open-File Report 7501
Five streams drain the northern part of Nebraska and are tributaries to the Missouri River above Yankton, S. Dak. This report presents statistical data at 29 gaging sites on four of the streams, namely, White River, Ponca Creek, Niobrara River, and Bazile Creek. The fifth stream, Hat Creek, drains a...
Summer behavior of adult radio-equipped woodcock in central Maine
Ray B. Owen, J. W. Morgan
1975, Journal of Wildlife Management (39) 179-182
The behavior of 26 adult American woodcock (Philohela minor) was studied in central Maine during the summers of 1971-73 using radiotelemetry. Adults used diurnal covers and nocturnal sites that were similar to those previously recorded for immature woodcock. The adults, however, were more active during the daylight hours and moved...

Adjustment of logarithmic flood-frequency statistics for gaged California streams to minimize the time sampling error
S. E. Rantz, J. R. Crippen
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 113-121
Methods for adjusting logarithmic flood-frequency statistics for gaged streams to minimize the time sampling error that is inherent in short records are discussed. Statistical procedures for adjusting the mean and standard deviation of a short-term array of annual peak discharges are already well established; two standard sets of equations for...

Combining estimates of low-flow characteristics of streams in Massachusetts and Rhode Island
Gary D. Tasker
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 107-112
The number of base-flow measurements needed to meet specified accuracy goals for estimating low-flow characteristics at ungaged sites can be reduced by combining an estimate based on a regression of base-flow measurements on discharges from a nearby continuous long-term gaging station with an estimate based on a regional relationship developed...
Water-quality changes during a salmon run in an interior Alaskan stream
Jon W. Nauman, Donald R. Kernodle
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 103-106
Increased activity at sunset of sockeye (red) salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in an Alaskan stream resulted in increases in carbon dioxide, turbidity, suspended chlorophyll a, and drift invertebrates, and a decrease in pH and dissolved oxygen....

Norman Creek, a source of recharge to Maramec Spring, Phelps County, Missouri
E. E. Gann, E. J. Harvey
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 99-102
Rhodamine WT dye was used to trace the subsurface movement of water from Norman Creek, a losing Ozark stream, to Maramec Spring, a straight-line distance of 8.7 mi (14.0 km). Grab samples and activated charcoal packets were used to check possible emergent points of the dye. The leading edge of...

Changes in concentration of certain constituents of treated waste water during movement through the Magothy Aquifer, Bay Park, New York
Henry F. H. Ku, John Vecchioli, Stephen E. Ragone
1975, Journal of Research of the U.S. Geological Survey (3) 89-92
Approximately 7 million gallons (27 million litres) of tertiary-treated sewage (reclaimed water) was injected by well into the Magothy aquifer and was subsequently pumped out. As the reclaimed water moved through the aquifer, concentrations of certain dissolved constituents decreased as follows: Total nitrogen, 7 percent; methylene blue active substances, 49...
