Vertical movement of ground water under the Merrill Field landfill, Anchorage, Alaska
Gordon L. Nelson, L.L. Dearborn
1982, Open-File Report 82-1016
Shallow groundwater under the Merrill Field sanitary landfill at Anchorage is polluted by leachate. Wells, including three Municipal-supply wells, obtain water from two confined aquifers 100-300 feet beneath the landfill area. Aquifer-test data and information on subsurface geology, ground-water levels, and properties of materials were used to estimate vertical gradients...

G.A. Miller
1982, Open-File Report 82-31
Commercial-scale development of western oil shale resources will require a supply of water for both extraction and reclamation purposes. This paper summarizes some of the information on the occurrence of potential local supplies of water in the Piceance Creek Basin-Uinta Basin areas of northwest Colorado and northeast Utah. The discussion...
Quality of runoff from small watersheds in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, Minnesota: Hydrologic data for 1980
G. A. Payne, M. A. Ayers, R. G. Brown
1982, Open-File Report 82-504
An intensive study of nonpoint-source runoff was conducted in the Twin Cities metropolitan area in Minnesota during 1980. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationships between land use, watershed characteristics, and the quantity, quality, and timing of runoff. Discharge and water-quality data were collected at 19 sites located...
Results of hydrologic tests and water-chemistry analyses, Wells H-6A, H-6B, and H-6C, at the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site, southeastern New Mexico
Kevin F. Dennehy
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-8
Hydrologic testing was conducted at wells H-6A, H-6B, and H-6C in the northwestern part of the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site in southeastern New Mexico to define hydraulic properties of three water-bearing zones. The zones tested were the Magenta and Culebra Dolomite Members of the Rustler Formation and the...
Use of microcomputer in mapping depth of stratigraphic horizons in National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska
Thomas G. Payne
1982, Open-File Report 82-1054
REGIONAL MAPPER is a menu-driven system in the BASIC language for computing and plotting (1) time, depth, and average velocity to geologic horizons, (2) interval time, thickness, and interval velocity of stratigraphic intervals, and (3) subcropping and onlapping intervals at unconformities. The system consists of three programs: FILER, TRAVERSER, and...
Proceedings of Workshop XVI; The dynamic characteristics of faulting inferred from recordings of strong ground motion
John Boatwright, editor(s)
1982, Open-File Report 82-591
The strong ground motions radiated by earthquake faulting are controlled by the dynamic characteristics of the faulting process. Although this assertion seems self-evident, seismologists have only recently begun to derive and test quantitative relations between common measures of strong ground motion and the dynamic characteristics of faulting. Interest in this...

Hydrologic data for urban studies in the San Antonio, Texas, metropolitan area, 1979-80
Roberto Perez
1982, Open-File Report 82-158
Hydrologic investigations of urban drainage basins in Texas were begun by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1954. These studies are now in progress in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. Studies were completed in the Fort Worth metropolitan area at the end of the 1977 water year, and in the Dallas...

Water quality of Belton Lake, central Texas
H.B. Mendieta, Dale L. Pate
1982, Open-File Report 82-650
The concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate in Belton Lake on the Leon River in central Texas average about 240 milligrams per liter, 40 milligrams per liter, and 30 milligrams per liter, respectively. The water is hard or very hard, averaging 170 milligrams per liter as calcium carbonate. The...
K-Ar geochronology of basement rocks on the northern flank of the Huancabama deflection, Ecuador
Tomas Feininger, M.L. Silberman
1982, Open-File Report 82-206
The Huancabamba deflection, a major Andean orocline located at the Ecuador-Peru border, constitutes an important geologic boundary on the Pacific coast of South America. Crust to the north of the deflection is oceanic and the basement is composed of basic igneous rocks of Cretaceous age, whereas crust to the south...

The Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) covers about 890 square miles of the eastern Snake River Plain, in southeastern Idaho. The eastern Snake River Plain is a structural basin which has been filled with thin basaltic lava flows, rhyolitic deposits, and interbedded sediments. These rocks form an extensive ground-water reservoir...
