Chemical data and variation diagrams of igneous rocks from the Timber Mountain-Oasis Valley Caldera Complex, southern Nevada
W. D. Quinlivan, F. M. Byers
1977, Open-File Report 77-724
Silica variation diagrams presented here are based on 162 chemical analyses of tuffs, lavas, and intrusives, representative of volcanic centers of the Timber Mountain-Oasis Valley caldera complex and cogenetic rocks of the Silent Canyon ca1dera. Most of the volcanic units sampled are shown on the U.S. Geological Survey geologic map...

Progress report on uranium investigations in the Zane Hills area, west-central Alaska
Thomas P. Miller, Raymond L. Elliott
1977, Open-File Report 77-428
The Zane Hills pluton underlies a mountainous area of about 460 km2 in west-central Alaska and is locally enriched in uranium and thorium (Miller and Ferrians, 1968; Miller, 1970; Staatz and Miller, 1976). While over 90 percent of the pluton consists of granodiorite with average contents of uranium and thorium,...

Ground-water resources of Chester County, Pennsylvania
Laurence J. McGreevy, Ronald A. Sloto
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-67
Fifty gallons per minute (3 liters per second) or more may be obtained from wells in almost all parts of the county, but not at all locations. Adequate exploration to find fracture or solution openings is required. Five hundred gallons per minute (30 liters per second) or more may be...
Environmental geology, Allegheny County and vicinity, Pennsylvania: Description of a program and its results
Reginald Peter Briggs
1977, Circular 747
Past land-use practices, including mining, in Allegheny County, Pa., have resulted in three principal environmental problems, exclusive of air and water contamination. They are flooding, landsliding, and subsidence over underground mines. In 1973, information was most complete relative to flooding and least complete relative to landsliding. Accordingly, in July 1973,...
Nature and extent of ground-water-quality changes resulting from solid-waste disposal, Marion County, Indiana
R. A. Pettijohn
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-40
Studies of seven landfills in the Indianapolis, Indiana, area indicate that in five of the landfills movement of ground water is from the deep aquifers into the uppermost aquifer. In the other two landfills, movement of ground water is from the shallow aquifers to the deeper aquifers, so that leachate...
Reconnaissance of sedimentation in the Rio Pilcomayo Basin, May 1975, Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay
John R. Ritter
1977, Open-File Report 77-327
The Río Pilcomayo "Alto" (Bolivia) and "Superior" (Bolivia, Argentina, and Paraguay) transport large quantities of sediment for the size of the basin. The Río Pilcomayo "Inferior" (Argentina and Paraguay) seems to carry little sediment. The large loads of the "Alto" and "Superior" must be considered before dams or irrigation projects...

Ground water in the Fresno area, California
K. S. Muir
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-59
The Fresno area of California uses about 140,000 acre-feet of ground water a year for municipal and domestic purposes. An average of 2,000,000 acre-feet of water a year is pumped for irrigation. Major sources of recharge are deep penetration of irrigation water (80 percent) and seepage from canals, rivers, and...
