Detection of contaminant plumes in ground water of Long Island, New York, by electromagnetic terrain-conductivity surveys
Thomas J. Mack, P. E. Maus
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4045
Electromagnetic terrain conductivity surveys were conducted at four landfills in Suffolk county and at an artificial recharge site in Nassau County to assess the feasibility of this technique for detecting contaminant plumes. The technique was successful at three of the landfills; results compared closely with those indicated by specific conductance...
Results of experiments related to contact of mine-spoils water with coal, West Decker and Big Sky Mines, southeastern Montana
R. E. Davis, K. A. Dodge
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4002
Batch-mixing experiments using spoils water and coal from the West Decker and Big Sky Mines were conducted to determine possible chemical changes in water moving from coal-mine spoils through a coal aquifer. The spoils water was combined with air-dried and oven-dried chunks of coal and air-dried and oven-dried crushed coal...
Machine-readable files developed for the High Plains Regional Aquifer-System analysis in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming
C.F. Ferrigno
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4063
Machine-readable files were developed for the High Plains Regional Aquifer-System Analysis project are stored on two magnetic tapes available from the U.S. Geological Survey. The first tape contains computer programs that were used to prepare, store, retrieve, organize, and preserve the areal interpretive data collected by the project staff. The...
A data-management system for detailed areal interpretive data
C.F. Ferrigno
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4091
A data storage and retrieval system has been developed to organize and preserve areal interpretive data. This system can be used by any study where there is a need to store areal interpretive data that generally is presented in map form. This system provides the capability to grid areal interpretive...
U.S. Geological Survey research in radioactive waste disposal - Fiscal years 1983, 1984, and 1985
G.A. Dinwiddie, N.J. Trask
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4009
The report summarizes progress on geologic and hydrologic research related to the disposal of radioactive wastes. The research is described according to whether it is related most directly to: (1) high-level and transuranic wastes, (2) low-level wastes, or (3) uranium mill tailings. Included is research applicable to the identification and...
Water-quality variability in four reservoirs in Phillips and Valley Counties, Montana, May through August 1981
R. F. Ferreira, J. H. Lambing
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4209
Four reservoirs in Phillips and Valley Counties were studied from May to August, 1981 (1) to describe the variation in water quality that occurs from late spring (May) to late summer (August) and during 24-hrs in late summer and (2) to describe possible causes for the variation. All the reservoirs...

Potential for leakage among principal aquifers in the Memphis area, Tennessee
D. D. Graham, W. S. Parks
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4295
The principal aquifers in the Memphis area consist primarily of sand or sand and gravel, and the confining beds consist of clay, silt, sand, and lignite. The Jackson Formation and upper part of the Claiborne Group serve as the confining bed separating the water table aquifers from the Memphis Sand;...

Brine contamination of shallow ground water and streams in the Brookhaven Oil Field, Lincoln County, Mississippi
S. J. Kalkhoff
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4087
A hydrologic investigation to define areas of brine contamination in shallow freshwater aquifers commonly used for streams that drain the Brookhaven Oil Field, was conducted from October 1983 to September 1984. The Brookhaven Oil Field covers approximately 15 sq mi in northwestern Lincoln County, Mississippi. Since 1943, disposal of approximately...

Areal and temporal variability of selected water-quality characteristics in two hydrologic-benchmark basins in the northeastern United States
R.A. Hainly, J.R. Ritter
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4025
Two U.S. Geological Survey National Hydrologic Benchmark stations--Young Womans Creek near Renovo, Pennsylvania and Esopus Creek at Shandaken, New York--were studied to (1) define, both areally and temporally, variations of stream acidity and other water quality characteristics within the basins; (2) evaluate how well the data collected at the Benchmark...
Low-flow profiles of the upper Ocmulgee and Flint rivers in Georgia
R.F. Carter, E. H. Hopkins, H. Perlman
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4176
This report provides low-flow information for use in evaluating the capacity of streams to supply withdrawals or to accept waste loads from potential new industries without exceeding the limits of State water-quality standards. The report is the first phase of a study of all stream basins north of the Fall...
Hydrogeology of the surficial and intermediate aquifers of central Sarasota County, Florida
A. D. Duerr, R. M. Wolansky
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4068
The geohydrologic units underlying a 300 sq mi area in central Sarasota County, Florida, consist of the surficial aquifer, intermediate aquifers (Tamiami-upper Hawthorn and lower Hawthorn-upper Tampa aquifers) and confining units, the Floridan aquifer system, and the sub-Floridan confining unit. The saturated thickness of the surficial aquifer ranges from about...
