Clastic dikes of Heart Mountain fault breccia, northwestern Wyoming, and their significance
W. G. Pierce
1979, Professional Paper 1133
Structural features in northwestern Wyoming indicate that the Heart Mountain fault movement was an extremely rapid, cataclysmic event that created a large volume of carbonate fault breccia derived entirely from the lower part of the upper plate. After fault movement had ceased, much of the carbonate fault breccia, here called...

Ecological and physiological/toxicological effects of petroleum on aquatic birds: A summary of research activities FY76 through FY78
Lucille F. Stickel, Michael P. Dieter
1979, FWS/OBS 79/23
Oil and gas development and exploration in marine coastal areas and the Great Lakes will result in unavoidable spills of polluting oil. Although large oil spills may kill thousands of birds and stimulate much public concern, the bulk of oil that reaches aquatic environmentS released in the course of normal operations,...
Ground-water quality in the upper Santa Ana River basin, southern California
Lawrence A. Eccles
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-113
The principal ground-water quality problems in the Santa Ana River basin, as determined from two samplings (1968-69 and 1977-78), are high concentrations of dissolved solids in general and nitrate-nitrogen in particular. The distribution of dissolved solids exceeding 800 milligrams per liter was smaller in area in 1977-78 than in 1968-69....

Water resources of the Marquette Iron Range area, Marquette County, Michigan
N.G. Grannemann
1979, Open-File Report 79-1339
Dependable water supplies are vital to the mining industry in the Marquette Iron Range in Michigan. Development of processes that concentrate and pelletize low-grade iron ore has permitted mining to expand during the past two decades. Water demand has increased both for iron ore concentration processes and for the area...

1979, Open-File Report 79-1472
A mineral survey of the Minarets Wilderness area and adjacent areas in the central Sierra Nevada, Calif., was conducted during 1973 through 1975. The total area covers about 620 km2 (237 sq mi) in the Sierra and Inyo National Forests, of which about 440 km2 (170 sq mi) are within...
Preliminary study of wastewater movement in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, October 1976 through September 1977
Edward Riley Cox
1979, Open-File Report 79-684
Studies were made from October 1976 through September 1977 to determine the effects on lakes and streams of wastewater effluents that percolate from sewage lagoons at four sites in Yellowstone National Park. Ground-water mounds have built up under the lagoons as percolation of effluents occurred. Percolating effluents mix with ground...

Maps showing generalized structure contours on the tops of the Wasatch and Green River Formations, geologic sections, and contours of thickness of the Green River Formation, southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado
Walter F. Holmes
1979, IMAP 1156
These maps were prepared as part of a hydrologic investigation in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado. (See index map.) Most of the study area of 2,350 square miles is underlain by consolidated rocks of Tertiary age – the Wasatch, Green River, and Uinta Formations. The Green River Formation...

Potential hazards from floodflows and debris movement in the Furnace Creek area, Death Valley National Monument, California-Nevada
John R. Crippen
1979, Open-File Report 79-991
Death Valley is known as the driest and hottest region in the United States. Despite the aridity of the valley itself, however , very heavy rainfall sometimes occurs in the nearby mountains. Such violent rainstorms are likely to be of relatively short duration and to occur over rather small areas;...
A one-dimensional, steady-state, dissolved-oxygen model and waste-load assimilation study for Wildcat Creek, Howard County, Indiana
Charles G. Crawford, William G. Wilber, James G. Peters
1979, Open-File Report 79-1252
The Indiana State Board of Health is developing a water-quality management plan that includes establishing limits for wastewater effluents discharged into Indiana streams. A digital model calibrated to conditions in Wildcat Creek was used to predict alternatives for future waste loadings that would be compatible with Indiana stream water-quality standards...
