Potential hydrologic effects of peat mining in the Red Lake Peatlands, north-central Minnesota— A project plan
Donald I. Siegel
1979, Open-File Report 79-1591
Peat is being considered for fuel in Minnesota. This study will investigate the potential effects of large-scale surface mining of peat on the hydrology and water quality of Upper Red Lake and the Tamarac River. The major aspects of the study are the characterization of the surface-water and groundwater hydrology...

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...
Ground-water appraisal for the community of Kiryas Joel, Orange County, New York
Roger M. Waller
1979, Open-File Report 79-401
A major fracture system in indurated sedimentary rocks forms a moderately extensive aquifer yielding 100-300 gallons per minute to wells 160 to 420 feet deep. Pumping-test data show that the fracture system is interconnected to distances more than 1,000 feet from the wells. Recharge occurs through overlying clayey till, and...

Discharge characteristics of triangular-notch thin-plate weirs
John Shen
1979, Open-File Report 79-1476
The triangular-notch, thin-plate weir is a convenient, inexpensive, and relatively precise flow-measuring instrument. It is frequently used to measure the flow of water in laboratories and in small, natural streams. The purpose of this report is to present a comprehensive analysis of the discharge characteristics of triangular-notch weirs. Previously-published data...

The preliminary geomagnetic data included here is made available to scientific personnel and organizations, as part of a cooperative effort and on a data exchange basis because of the early need by some users. To avoid delay, all of the data is copied from original forms processed at the observatory;...
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...
Geology, coal resources, and chemical analyses of coal from the Fruitland Formation, Kimbeto EMRIA study site, San Juan County, New Mexico

1979, Open-File Report 79-1090
The Kimbeto EMRIA study site, an area of about 20 square miles (52 km2), is located on the south margin of the San Juan Basin on the gently northward-dipping strata of the Upper Cretaceous Fruitland Formation and the Kirtland Shale. The coal beds are mainly in the lower 150 feet...
The Yampa River basin, Colorado and Wyoming : a preview to expanded coal-resource development and its impacts on regional water resources
Timothy Doak Steele, D. P. Bauer, D.A. Wentz, J. W. Warner
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-126
Expanded coal production and conversion in the Yampa River basin , Colorado and Wyoming, may have substantial impacts on water resources, environmental amenities, and socioeconomic conditions. Preliminary results of a 3-year basin assessment by the U.S. Geological Survey are given for evaluation of surface- and ground-water resources using available data,...

Ancient mines of the Farah Garan area, southwestern Saudi Arabia
C. W. Smith, H. Richard Blank
1979, Open-File Report 79-1659
Ancient miners, in quest of oxidized copper minerals, gold, silver, and possibly zinc, mined gossans to approximately 20 m depth in an area 1.1 by 0.5 km in extent at Farah Garan. The gossans, derived from sulfides, are ordinarily found at contacts between marble lenses and metavolcanic-metasedimentary rocks, but in...
Upper Cretaceous tectonic activity on lineaments in western South Dakota
George W. Shurr
1979, Open-File Report 79-1374
Lineaments mapped on satellite images in western South Dakota define a geometry of basement blocks, and paleotectonic activity on these lineament-bound blocks is recorded in sedimentary rocks. Mapping on seven Landsat images in an area of about 100,000 km2 reveals that lineaments are best developed along azimuths of N. 60°...
