1980, Open-File Report 80-558
A summary of hydrologic testing in an offshore oil-test well drilled for Tenneco, Inc. 55 miles east of Fernandina Beach, Florida, is presented. The interval tested (1,050 to 1,070 feet below sea level) is in a calcarenite that is equivalent to the Ocala Limestone (late Eocene) of onshore Florida and...
Test drilling in basalts, Lalamilo area, South Kohala District, Hawaii
Warren E. Teasdale
1980, Open-File Report 80-1299
Test drilling has determined that a downhole-percussion airhammer can be used effectively to drill basalts in Hawaii. When used in conjunction with a foam-type drilling fluid, the hammer-bit penetration rate was rapid. Continuous drill cuttings from the materials penetrated were obtained throughout the borehole except from extremely fractured or weathered...

1980, Open-File Report 80-1202
The United States is currently engaged in an effort to develop the oil and gas resources of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). In the Atlantic, State jurisdiction extends for 3 geographical (nautical) miles (5.56 km) from the coastline. The OCS, which comprises the submerged lands of the Continental Shelf seaward...

Lithologic logs and geophysical logs from test drilling in Palm Beach County, Florida, since 1974
Leo J. Swayze, Michael C. McGovern, John N. Fischer
1980, Open-File Report 81-68
Test well data that may be used to determine the hydrogeology of the zone of high permeability in Palm Beach County, Florida are presented. Lithologic logs from 46 test wells and geophysical logs from 40 test wells are contained in this report....
Measured stratigraphic sections of Jurassic San Rafael Group and adjacent rocks in Garfield County, Utah
James Clifton Wright, Dayton Delbert Dickey, R.P. Snyder
1980, Open-File Report 80-308
These sections were measured prior to 1960, before adoption of the metric system. Publication was delayed by other assignments of the authors and later by the untimely death of J. C. Wright. They are being released at this time because of the increased interest in the uranium potential of Jurassic...

Suspended-sediment discharge in five streams near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before, during, and after highway construction
Lloyd A. Reed
1980, Water Supply Paper 2072
Rainfall, streamflow, sediment, and turbidity data were collected as part of a study to evaluate the effects of highway construction on suspended-sediment discharges in streams. The study was also designed to evaluate the effectiveness of different erosion-control measures in reducing sediment discharge. Although highway construction increased suspended-sediment discharges from two...
The effect of dissolution of volcanic glass on the water chemistry in a tuffaceous aquifer, Rainier Mesa, Nevada
Art F. White, H.C. Claassen, Larry V. Benson
1980, Water Supply Paper 1535-Q
Geochemistry of ground water associated with the Tertiary tuffs within Rainier Mesa, southern Nevada, was investigated to determine the relative importance of glass dissolution in controlling water chemistry. Water samples were obtained both from interstitial pores in core sections and from free-flowing fractures. Cation com- positions showed that calcium and...
Sediment deposition in the White River Reservoir, northwestern Wisconsin
W. G. Batten, S. M. Hindall
1980, Water Supply Paper 2069
The history of deposition in the White River Reservoir was reconstructed from a study of sediment in the reservoir. Suspended-sediment concentrations, particle size, and streamflow characteristics were measured at gaging stations upstream and downstream from the reservoir from November 1975 through September 1977. Characteristics of the sediments were determined from...
Reconnaissance assessment of erosion and sedimentation in the Canada de los Alamos basin, Los Angeles and Ventura Counties, California
J. M. Knott
1980, Water Supply Paper 2061
An assessment of present erosion and sedimentation conditions in the Ca?ada de los Alamos basin was made to aid in estimating the impact of off-road-vehicle use on the sediment yield of the basin. Impacts of off-road vehicles were evaluated by reconnaissance techniques and by comparing the study area with other...

Relationships between basic soils-engineering equations and basic ground-water flow equations
Donald G. Jorgensen
1980, Water Supply Paper 2064
The many varied though related terms developed by ground-water hydrologists and by soils engineers are useful to each discipline, but their differences in terminology hinder the use of related information in interdisciplinary studies. Equations for the Terzaghi theory of consolidation and equations for ground-water flow are identical under specific conditions....
Channel and dynamic flow characteristics of the Chattahoochee River, Buford Dam to Georgia Highway 141

Detailed flow and cross-section data for a 17-mile reach of the Chattahoochee River in northeast Georgia are described and summarized. Flow data include measurements of highly dynamic stage and discharge at five stations during the period March 21-23, 1976. Flow data were collected at 5-minute intervals and are listed accordingly....

At 39 cross sections in a 3.3-kilometer reach of East Fork River Wyo., bed elevations were measured daily during a month-long period that included the peak snowmelt runoff. Elevations were measured at less frequent intervals for a week before and several weeks after peak runoff. Considerable scour and fill was...
