1983, Open-File Report 83-5
A reconnaissance geochemical survey of the Allegheny Front and Hickory Creek Roadless Areas, Warren County, Pennsylvania, was made by members of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to test for indistinct or unexposed mineral deposits that might be recognized by geochemical halos. Analyses using semiquantitative emission spectrography and atomic absorption for...
Water resources in the Blackstone River basin, Massachusetts
Eugene H. Walker, Bruce E. Krejmas
1983, Open-File Report 83-700
The Blackstone River heads in brooks 6 miles northwest of Worcester and drains about 330 square miles of central Massachusetts before crossing into Rhode Island at Woonsocket. The primary source of the Worcester water supply is reservoirs, but for the remaining 23 communities in the basin, the primary source is wells. Bedrock...

Paleomagnetic results from seven middle Paleozoic plutons in the Appalachian Piedmont of North and South Carolina
J.T. Hagstrum
1983, Open-File Report 83-916
Seven isotopically dated plutons of similar middle Paleozoic age (approx. 400 Ma) were sampled for paleomagnetic study. The results from 12 sites (152 samples) within these plutons show two types of remanence behavior that appear fairly consistent with rock composition. The more leucocratic rocks (9 sites) tend to yield single-component...

Stratigraphic evidence for Devonian tectonism on lineaments at Allegheny Front, West Virginia; supporting material
R. L. Wheeler
1983, Open-File Report 83-243
At the Allegheny Front in northeastern West Virginia, five large structural lineaments trend northwesterly to westerly across the structural grain. This paper concludes that two and perhaps three of them separated structures that were active in Devonian time. Along strike over about 200 km of the Front, J. M. Dennison...
Summary of hydrologic information in the El Paso, Texas, area, with emphasis on ground-water studies, 1903-80
D. E. White
1983, Open-File Report 83-775
Significant development of ground water in the El Paso area started in the early 1900's; pumping gradually increased to the early 1950's and has since accelerated commensurate with the area's rapid population growth. In 1980, withdrawals of ground water for municipal, industrial, and military supplies totaled 164,354 acre-feet (203 cubic...
The environmental history and present condition of Saudi Arabia's northern sand seas
John W. Whitney, D.J. Faulkender, Meyer Rubin
1983, Open-File Report 83-749
Saudi Arabia's northern sand seas are composed dominantly of stable dune systems, even though the modern climate is arid. The stable dunes are large and support a sparse semidesert vegetation. Active dunes are small and commonly confined to the crests of stable dunes; they comprise less than 5 percent of...
Hydrologic data for the drainage basins of Chatfield and Cherry Creek Lakes, Denver metropolitan area, Colorado
J. W. Gibbs, L.M. Arnold, R.L. Reed
1983, Open-File Report 83-857
Chatfield and Cherry Creek Lakes are flood control lakes constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and leased to the Colorado Division of Parks and Recreation. Both lakes are in the Denver metropolitan area and provide a variety of recreational activities, including boating, camping, fishing, picnicking, and swimming. The...

Simulated changes in ground-water levels related to proposed development of Federal coal leases, San Juan Basin New Mexico
P. F. Frenzel
1983, Open-File Report 83-949
The effects of coal-related ground-water withdrawals on potentiometric surfaces of aquifers in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico, were estimated. A previously published steady-state finite-difference digital model was converted to a transient-state model by changing boundary conditions and adding storage coefficients. No calibration of the transient-state model was attempted. Predicted...

1983, Open-File Report 83-769
The effects of spray irrigation using municipal wastewater effluent on a ground-water system (in particular, on the water of the Floridan aquifer) were investigated. The area irrigated was 4 miles southwest of Tallahassee, Florida, on an area covered in part by pine forest and in part by selected grasses and...
