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...

Use of the STORM model for estimating the quantity and quality of runoff from the metropolitan area of Houston, Texas
Kidd M. Waddell, Bernard C. Massey, Marshall E. Jennings
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-74
The "STORM" model, developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, was selected from existing models and adapted to use available data to compute runoff from the Houston, Texas, area and to compute the loads and concentrations of biochemicaloxygen demand, dissolved solids, total phosphorus, total organic carbon, total nitrogen, and...

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...
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...

Biological and microbiological assessment of the upper Chattahoochee River basin, Georgia
Bruce W. Lium, J. K. Stamer, T. A. Ehlke, R.E. Faye, R.N. Cherry
1979, Circular 796
Biological and microbiological studies were conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey as a part of the Intensive River-Quality Assessment studies of the upper Chattahoochee River basin, Georgia. Phytoplankton concentrations in cells per milliliter (cells/mL) were generally higher downstream from Atlanta than upstream. The highest concentrations, mostly blue-green algae, occurred in...
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...

1979, Circular 783
The geology, geochemistry, geophysics, and Landsat imagery of the Big Delta quadrangle, 16,335 km 2 in the Yukon-Tanana Upland of east-central Alaska, were investigated, and maps and reports were prepared by an interdisciplinary research team for the purpose of assessing the mineral potential. The quadrangle is dominantly a complex terrane...
Mineral resources of the Big Frog Wilderness Study Area, Polk County, Tennessee and Fannin County, Georgia
John F. Slack, Gertrude C. Gazdik, Maynard L. Dunn
1979, Open-File Report 79-1209
The proposed Big Frog Wilderness is comprised of approximately 1820 hectares (18.2 km2) of mountainous terrain in the Cherokee and Chattahoochee National Forests south of the Ocoee River in Polk County, Tennessee, and Fannin County, Georgia. Rocks of the study area are greenschist-facies metasandstone, meta-arkose, metagraywacke, and dark slate of...

The Paleocene Fort Union and Eocene Wasatch Formations along the east flank of the Bighorn Mountains in the Buffalo-Lake De Smet area, Wyoming, consist of continental alluvial fan, braided stream, and poorly drained alluvial plain deposits. The Fort Union conformably overlies the Cretaceous Lance Formation, which is marine in its...
Earth fissures and localized differential subsidence
Thomas L. Holzer, Earl Haig Pampeyan
1979, Open-File Report 79-951
Long tension cracks caused by declines of ground-water level at four sites in Arizona, California, and Nevada occur at points of maximum, convex-upward curvature in subsidence profiles based on relevelings of closely-spaced bench marks aligned perpendicular to the cracks. We conclude the cracks are caused by horizontal strains associated with...

The Pensacola, Florida, area, comprising Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties, has abundant water of good quality. Most of the freshwater used, about 101 million gallons per day, comes from the surficial sand-and-gravel aquifer. The deeper Floridan aquifer locally contains saltwater, and is used in places for industrial waste disposal. Surface...
