Appraisal of ground water in the vicinity of the Leadville drainage tunnel, Lake County, Colorado
John T. Turk, O. James Taylor
1979, Open-File Report 79-1538
Ground water in the Leadville mining district occurs in granite, quartzite, limestone, sandstone, porphyry dikes, and unconsolidated material. These rocks form a single aquifer system because the formations are hydraulically connected through contact, mine workings, faulting, and fracturing. The aquifer is recharged by precipitation and water moves toward California Gulch...

Availability of ground water on Federal land near the Ak-Chin Indian Reservation, Arizona— A reconnaissance study
Richard P. Wilson
1979, Open-File Report 79-1165
Sufficient ground water to provide about 2.1 million acre-feet in a 25-year period is available for delivery to the Ak-Chin Indian Reservation from Federal land in the Vekol Valley, Waterman Wash area, and Bosque area in south-central Arizona. Withdrawal of 85,000 acre-feet per year as required by the Ak-Chin water-supply...

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...

Wendell V. Tangborn
1979, Open-File Report 79-741
The hydrometeorological model described in this manual was developed to predict seasonal streamflow from water in storage in a basin using streamflow and precipitation data. The model, as described, applies specifically to the Skokomish, Nisqually, and Cowlitz Rivers, in Washington State, and more generally to streams in other regions that...

Charles S. Spirakis
1979, Open-File Report 79-1375
The distribution of trace elements around a south Texas roll-type uranium deposit was examined using semiquantitative emission spectroscopic analytical data complemented by some quantitative data.

Interpretation of thermoluminescence patterns around a Wyoming roll-type uranium deposit
Charles S. Spirakis
1979, Open-File Report 79-774
Thermoluminescence from quartz and feldspar grains in samples collected from the vicinity of a Wyoming roll-type uranium deposit show an increase in the importance of high-temperature thermoluminescence relative to low-temperature thermoluminescence of samples which are believed to be former positions of the migrating mineralized front. This effect is believed to...
