Geologic factors pertinent to the proposed A. J. Wiley Hydroelectric Project No. 2845, Bliss, Idaho
Harold E. Malde
1981, Open-File Report 81-569
The A.J. Wiley Hydroelectric Project is a proposal by the Idaho Power Company to develop hydroelectricity near Bliss, Idaho, by building a dam on the Snake River (fig. 1). The proposed dam would impound a narrow reservoir as deep as 85 feet in a free-flowing reach of the river that...
Biogeochemical variability of plants at native and altered sites, San Juan Basin, New Mexico
L. P. Gough, R. C. Severson
1981, Professional Paper 1134-D
The San Juan Basin is becoming a major energy resource region. The anticipated increase in strip mining for coal can be expected to alter the geochemical and biogeochemical environment. because such activities destroy the native vegetation communities, rearrange the rock strata, and disrupt natural soil development. This study investigated the...
Plan of study for the regional aquifer-system analysis of the Snake River plain, Idaho and eastern Oregon
Gerald F. Lindholm
1981, Open-File Report 81-689
The 15,600-square-mile Snake River Plain is largely in southern Idaho and includes one of the Nation 's major regional aquifers. A comprehensive investigation of the area 's ground-water resources will be made as part of the U.S. Geological Survey 's Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) program. Basaltic and sedimentary rocks in...
Vertical displacement measurements in Central California with a long-baseline two-fluid tiltmeter
Howard C. Merchant
1981, Open-File Report 81-885
The need for a water-tube tiltmeter and the details of its operation were covered by Eaton [1] in 1959. Since that time more modern instrumentation has allowed modification and further development beyond the basic single-tube fluid tiltmeter with a mechanical surface sensor. A number of instruments are discussed in connection...
Low flow of streams in Fairfax County, Virginia
E. H. Mohler, G. F. Hagan
1981, Open-File Report 81-63
The effect of geologic differences and urban development on low-flow characteristics of streams in Fairfax County, Va., are discussed. Tables of annual minimum 7-day average flow values for various recurrence intervals are presented for 5 long-term gaging stations and for 37 selected low-flow measurement sites. Drainage-basin boundaries and 7-day 10-year...

Hydrologic monitoring in the coal fields of central Utah, August 1978-September 1979
Gregory C. Lines, Gerald G. Plantz
1981, Open-File Report 81-138
Surface-water quantity and quality were observed at 12 gaging stations downstream from mined and lease areas in the Wasatch Plateau, Book Cliff's, and Emery coal fields in central Utah. Measurements of base flow were made at 52 additional sites in the region. The report describes the hydrologic setting of this...

Geochemical variability of natural soils and reclaimed mine-spoil soils in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico
L. P. Gough, R. C. Severson
1981, Professional Paper 1134-C
An inventory of total-and extractable-element concentrations in soils was made for three areas of the San Juan Basin in New Mexico: (1) the broad area likely to be affected by energy-related development. (2) an area of soils considered to have potential for use as topsoil in mined-land reclamation. and (3)...

1981, Open-File Report 81-286
During the second period of Contract #14-08-0001-1833 (Earthquake and Seismicity Research using SCARLET and CEDAR), we continued and completed research in three main areas: 1) Multimode analysis of Rayleigh type Lg in Southern California. This research is currently being complemented by a similar study in Central California along the West...

Catalog of earthquakes along the San Andreas fault system in central California, July-September 1977
S.M. Marks, L. Fluty
1981, Open-File Report 81-462
Numerous small earthquakes occur each day in the Coast Ranges of central California. The detailed study of these earthquakes provides a tool for gaining insight into the tectonic and physical processes responsible for the generation of damaging earthquakes. This catalog contains the fundamental parameters for earthquakes located within and adjacent...
