Effects of seepage from fly-ash settling ponds and construction dewatering on ground-water levels in the Cowles unit, Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, Indiana
William R. Meyer, Patrick Tucci
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-138
Part of the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore shares a common boundary with the Northern Indiana Public Service Company (NIPSCO). This area is underlain by unconsolidated deposits approximately 180 feet thick. NIPSCO accumulates fly ash from the burning of coal in electric-power generating units in settling ponds. Seepage from the ponds...
Seismic, magnetic, and geotechnical properties of a landslide and clinker deposits, Powder River basin, Wyoming and Montana
C.H. Miller
1979, Open-File Report 79-952
Exploitation of vast coal and other resources in the Powder River Basin has caused recent, rapid increases in population and in commercial and residential development and has prompted land utilization studies. Two aspects of land utilization were studied for this report: (1) the seismic and geotechnical properties of a landslide...

Coal resources of southeastern Massachusetts assessed in 1942
Newton Earl Chute
1979, Open-File Report 79-1140
Large easily mined coal deposits of usable quality would be of great value to Massachusetts, particularly in war time. Every effort has been made in this study to evaluate the probable occurrence, quantity, and quality of the coal deposits in southeastern Massachusetts but unfortunately it is impossible from surface observations...

Fluid inclusions in salt from the Rayburn and Vacherie domes, Louisiana
Edwin Roedder, H. E. Belkin
1979, Open-File Report 79-1675
Core samples from the Rayburn and Vacherie salt domes in Louisiana were examined for fluid inclusions, in connection with the possible use of such domes for nuclear waste storage sites. Three types of fluid inclusions were found, brine, compressed gas, and oil (in decreasing volume percent abundance). The total amount...
Borehole gravity surveys in native-sulfur deposits, Culberson and Pecos counties, Texas
James W. Schmoker, Stephen L. Robbins
1979, Open-File Report 79-361
Native-sulfur deposits in west Texas are heterogeneous, with sulfur content and formation properties varying significantly over small vertical and horizontal distances. The zone of recovery of the Frasch process extends tens or even hundreds of feet around each recovery well, but the investigation depth of most wire-line logs is measured...
Background information to accompany folio of geologic, mineral resource, geochemical, aeromagnetic, and gravity maps of the Hillsboro and San Lorenzo quadrangles, Sierra and Grant Counties, New Mexico, with sections on geochemistry and geophysics
David Carl Hedlund, K. C. Watts, Henry V. Alminas, Jeffrey C. Wynn
1979, Circular 808
The Hillsboro and San Lorenzo 15-minute quadrangles of southwestern New Mexico have been mapped at a 1:48,000 scale and selected mineralized areas within these quadrangles have been mapped in greater detail. This area of about 550 mi2 (1,424 km2) is within the southern part of the Black Range and includes...
Maps showing ground-water conditions in the lower Santa Cruz area, Pinal, Pima, and Maricopa Counties, Arizona, 1977
A.D. Konieczki, C. S. English
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-56
The lower Santa Cruz area includes about 5,400 square miles in south-central Arizona and is the second largest agricultural area in the State. The area depends mainly on ground water for irrigation, and in 1976 about 966,000 acre-feet of ground water was pumped from the area. As a result of...
Hydrogeologic features of the alluvial deposits in the Greybull River valley, Bighorn Basin, Wyoming
M. E. Cooley, W. J. Head
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-6
The alluvial aquifer along the Greybull River in Wyoming, consists principally of the Greybull terrace doposits and flood-plain alluvium but also includes Burlington terrace deposits east of Burlington, the McKinnie terrace, and the younger, generally undissected alluvial-fan deposits. Well-log data and 18 surface-resistivity measurements at four localities indicate that the...
The corrosive well waters of Egypt's western desert
Frank Eldridge Clarke
1979, Water Supply Paper 1757-O
The discovery that ground waters of Egypt's Western Desert are highly corrosive is lost in antiquity. Inhabitants of the oases have been aware of the troublesome property for many decades and early investigators mention it in their reports concerning the area. Introduction of modern well-drilling techniques and replacements of native...

Effects of pumping on ground-water levels near Taylorsville, Bartholomew County, Indiana
Michael Planert, Patrick Tucci
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-20
A two-dimensional digital flow model was used to estimate the effects of continuous pumping of a public-supply well field on the ground-water levels near Taylorsville, Indiana. Results of the modeling showed that the water levels would decline from less than 1 to about 4.5 feet within the study area and...

Geohydrologic setting of and seepage from a water-supply canal, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana
William R. Meyer
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-115
The Indianapolis Water Company Canal is underlain by alluvial and outwash deposits. The water level in the canal on July 21, 1978, was above the water table along the entire reach of the canal upstream from the Fall Creek aqueduct, and, therefore, water was seeping downward from the canal into...
