Urban storm-runoff modelling; Madison, Wisconsin
R. Stephen Grant, Gerald Goddard
1979, Open-File Report 79-1273
The Illinois Urban Drainage Area Simulator was used to analyze the effects that (1) physical changes to storm-sewer conduits, and (2) increased runoff detention and infiltration would have on storm runoff in four urban basins in Madison, Wisconsin. The model was calibrated using monitoring data for the four basins collected...
Some peat deposits in Penobscot County, Maine
Cornelia Clermont Cameron, Walter A. Anderson
1979, Open-File Report 79-1096
Twenty of the peat deposits in Penobscot County, Maine contain an estimated 29,282,000 short tons air-dried peat. The peat is chiefly sphagnum moss and reed-sedge of high quality according to ASTM standards for agricultural and horticultural use. Analyses show that this same volume has high fuel value, low sulfur and...

Tertiary volcanic rocks of the Mineral Mountain and Teapot Mountain quadrangles, Pinal County, Arizona
William J. Keith, Ted G. Theodore
1979, Open-File Report 79-716
The widespread distribution of Tertiary volcanic rocks in south-central Arizona is controlled in part by prevolcanic structures along which volcanic vents were localized. Volcanic rocks in the Mineral Mountain and Teapot Mountain quadrangles mark the site of a major northwest-trending structural hingeline. This hingeline divides an older Precambrian X terrane...

Uranium and organic matters: use of pyrolysis-gas chromatography, carbon, hydrogen, and uranium contents to characterize the organic matter from sandstone-type deposits
Joel S. Leventhal
1979, Open-File Report 79-942
Organic matter seems to play an important role in the genesis of uranium deposits in sandstones in the western United States. Organic materials associated with ore from the Texas coastal plain, Tertiary basins of Wyoming, Grants mineral belt of New Mexico, and the Uravan mineral belt of Utah and Colorado...
Geology and physiography of the continental margin north of Alaska and implications for the origin of the Canada Basin
Arthur Grantz, Stephen L. Eittreim, O.T. Whitney
1979, Open-File Report 79-288
The continental margin north of Alaska is of Atlantic type. It began to form probably in Early Jurassic time but possibly in middle Early Cretaceous time, when the oceanic Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean is thought to have opened by rifting about a pole of rotation near the Mackenzie...
Organic matter and sandstone-type uranium deposits: a primer
Joel S. Leventhal
1979, Open-File Report 79-1310
Organic material is intimately associated with sandstone-type uranium deposits in the western United States.. This report gives details of the types of organic matter and their possible role in producing a uranium deposit. These steps include mobilization of uranium from igneous rocks, transportation from the surface, concentration by organic matter,...
Radiocarbon dates from the Hawaiian Islands: A compilation
M. Lea Kelley
1979, Open-File Report 79-1700
Radiocarbon dating has proved to be a useful tool for the correlation of events and their timing during the Quaternary. In the Hawaiian Islands, the application of this technique is providing a chronology of the geologic history that will serve as a framework for studies of volcanologic and related hazards,...

1979, Open-File Report 79-1299
The National Water Data Exchange (NAWDEX), formally established in January 1976, is a national confederation of water-oriented organizations working to improve access to water data. Its primary objective is to assist users of water data in the identification, location, and acquistion of useful data. NAWDEX is coordinated by a central...
Chemical analysis and geochemical associations in Devonian black shale core samples from Martin County, Kentucky; Carroll and Washington counties, Ohio; Wise County, Virginia; and Overton County, Tennessee
Joel S. Leventhal
1979, Open-File Report 79-1503
Core samples from Devonian shales from five localities in the Appalachian Basin have been analyzed for major, minor, and trace constituents. The contents of major elements are rather similar; however, the minor constituents, organic C, S, PO4, and CO3, show variations by a factor of 10. Trace elements Mo, Ni,...
Stormwater-runoff data for a multifamily residential area, Dade County, Florida
Jack Hardee, Robert A. Miller, Harold C. Mattraw Jr.
1979, Open-File Report 79-1295
Rainfall, stormwater discharge, and water-quality data for a multifamily residential area in Dade County, Florida, are summarized in this report. Loads for 19 water-quality constituents were computed for runoff from 16 storms from May 1977 through June 1978. The 14.7 acre basin contains apartment buildings with adjacent parking lots. The...
Grain-size analyses of Ordovician sandstones from the Midwestern states
Keith Brindley Ketner
1979, Open-File Report 79-230
Certain Ordovician sandstones of the Midwestern States were investigated for the purpose of determining the range in size of constituent sand grains. Although many size analyses of the same formations have been reported in the literature, the methods of sample collection, preparation, and sieving were not uniform, and the results...
Analysis of borehole geophysical information across a uranium deposit in the Jackson Group, Karnes County, Texas
Jeffrey J. Daniels, James Henry Scott, Bruce D. Smith
1979, Open-File Report 79-585
Borehole geophysical studies across a uranium deposit in the Jackson Group, South Texas, show the three geochemical environments often associated with uranium roll-type deposits: an altered (oxidized) zone, an ore zone, and an unaltered (reduced) zone. Mineralogic analysis of the total sulfides contained in the drill core shows only slight...
