James G. Peters, William G. Wilber, Charles G. Crawford, Frank P. Girardi
1979, Open-File Report 79-1479
The Indiana State Board of Health is developing a water-quality management plan that includes establishing limits for wastewater effluents discharged into Indiana streams. A digital model calibrated to conditions in West Fork Blue River was used to predict alternatives for future waste loadings that would be compatible with Indiana stream...

Hydrology of major estuaries and sounds of North Carolina
G. L. Giese, Hugh B. Wilder, Garald G. Parker Jr.
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-46
Hydrology-related problems associated with North Carolina's major estuaries and sounds include contamination of some estuaries with municipal and industrial wastes and drainage from adjacent intensively-farmed areas, and nuisance-level algal blooms. In addition, there is excessive shoaling in some navigation channels, saltwater intrusion into usually fresh estuarine reaches, too-high or too-low...
Magnetometer traverse on Plum Island near Newburyport, Massachusetts
Robert W. Simpson, Wallace A. Bothner
1979, Open-File Report 79-435
Several large faults of regional tectonic significance circle around Boston and disappear offshore at Plum Island south of Newburyport, Massachusetts (Castle and others, 1976; Barosh and others, 1977). The traces of these faults are, in places, well defined by aeromagnetic anomalies (Harwood and Zietz, 1977), The purpose of this traverse...
Water resources of the Santa Ynez Indian Reservation, Santa Barbara County, California
John A. Singer
1979, Open-File Report 79-413
The Santa Ynez Indian Reservation is situated above a bedrock ridge that forms the southern boundary of the Santa Ynez upland ground-water basin. A pumping depression exists upgradient from the reservation, and water levels have declined an average of 1.0 to 1.5 feet per year since the 1940's. This decline...
A continuous water sampling and multi-parameter measurement system for estuaries
Laurence E. Schemel, Lee A. Dedini
1979, Open-File Report 79-273
Salinity, temperature, light transmissivity, oxygen saturation, turbidity, pH, pCO2, and chlorophyll a fluorescence of a pumped water sample are continuously measured with a system designed primarily for estuarine studies. Near-surface water from a depth of 2 m is sampled continuously while the vessel is underway or water at depths to...
Physical and chemical properties of San Francisco Bay waters, 1969-1976

1979, Open-File Report 79-511
Basic data on the physical and chemical properties of San Francisco Bay are presented here. Samples were collected over the period 1969-1976 at approximately six-week intervals at 36 stations. The stations were located along the axis of the Bay from Calaveras Point in South San Francisco Bay to the town...
A study of uranium favorability of Cenozoic sedimentary rocks, Basin and Range Province, Arizona: Part I. General geology and chronology of pre-late Miocene Cenozoic sedimentary rocks
Robert Bryan Scarborough, Jan Carol Wilt
1979, Open-File Report 79-1429
This study focuses attention on Cenozoic sedimentary rocks in the Basin and Range Province of Arizona. The known occurrences of uranium and anomalous radioactivity in these rocks are associated with sediments that accumulated in a low energy environment characterized by fine-grained clastics, including important tuffaceous materials, and carbonate rocks. Most...

Annual peak discharges from small drainage areas in Montana through September 1978
R. J. Omang, C. Parrett, J. A. Hull
1979, Open-File Report 79-522
Annual peak stage and discharge data have been collected and tabulated for crest-stage gaging sites in Montana. The crest-stage program was begun in July 1955 to investigate the magnitude and frequency of floods from small drainage areas. The program has expanded from 45 crest-stage gaging stations initially to 173 stations...
Hydrologic evaluation of the Alton reclamation-study site, Alton coal field, Utah
G. W. Sandberg
1979, Open-File Report 79-346
This investigation was conducted from July 1974 to September 1977 to define general hydrologic conditions at a reclamation-study site in the Alton coal field near Kanab, Utah. The average annual streamflow through the area was less than 600 acre-feet (0.7 cubic hectometer), and the water carried little sediment except during...

1979, Water Data Report WA-78-1
Water resources data for the 1978 water year for Washington consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels and water quality of ground-water wells. This report in two volumes contains records for water discharge at...
Evaluation of Landsat multispectral scanner images for mapping altered rocks in the East Tintic Mountains, Utah
Lawrence C. Rowan, Michael J. Abrams
1979, Open-File Report 78-736
The East Tintic Mountains, Utah consist of folded and faulted Paleozoic sedimentary rocks, which are partly covered by Tertiary volcanic rocks. Clastic rocks dominate the lower one-third of the Paleozoic section, whereas carbonate rocks with subordinate amounts of shale and elastic rocks predominate in the remainder. Some of the rocks,...
