Chemical quality of water in abandoned zinc mines in northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas
Stephen J. Playton, Robert Ellis Davis, Roger G. McClaflin
1978, Open-File Report 78-294
Onsite measurements of pH, specific conductance, and water temperature show that water temperatures in seven mine shafts in northeastern Oklahoma and southeastern Kansas is stratified. With increasing sampling depth, specific conductance and water temperature tend to increase, and pH tends to decrease. Concentrations of dissolved solids and chemical constituents in mine-shaft water,...
Hot, deep origin of petroleum: deep basin evidence and application
Leigh C. Price
1978, Open-File Report 78-1020
Use of the model of a hot deep origin of oil places rigid constraints on the migration and entrapment of crude oil. Specifically, oil originating from depth migrates vertically up faults and is emplaced in traps at shallower depths. Review of petroleum-producing basins worldwide shows oil occurrence in these basins...

Monitoring water-quality during pilot-dredging operations in the Willamette and Columbia Rivers, Oregon
Joseph F. Rinella, Stuart W. McKenzie
1978, Open-File Report 78-554
Water quality was monitored in the Willamette and Columbia Rivers during a pilot dredging operation on December 16, 1977. Monitoring included in-situ measurements of pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and conductivity in the Willamette and Columbia Rivers; analyses of dissolved ammonia, dissolved manganese, suspended-sediment concentration and particle size, loss on ignition,...
The utility of petroleum seismic exploration data in delineating structural features within salt anticlines
S.L. Stockton, Alfred H. Balch
1978, Open-File Report 78-591
The Salt Valley anticline, in the Paradox Basin of southeastern Utah, is under investigation for use as a location for storage of solid nuclear waste. Delineation of thin, nonsalt interbeds within the upper reaches of the salt body is extremely important because the nature and character of any such fluid-...
A study of fault plane mechanisms preceding the Thanksgiving Day, 1974 earthquake at Hollister, California
David H. Warren
1978, Open-File Report 78-255
Fault plane solutions were obtained for 80 microearthquakes in a 900 square km area centered on the Busch fault during a one year period preceding the Thanksgiving Day, 1974 Hollister earthquake. Strike slip motion occurred in 65 of the quakes, mainly at active spots on the Sargent, Castro, Busch, and...
Hydrologic monitoring of a waste-injection well near Milton, Florida, June 1975 - June 1977

The Fish Creek EMRIA site, an area of about 3.7 square miles (9.6 km2), is located in the southeastern part of the Yampa coal field on the steep to gently dipping beds of the Upper Cretaceous Williams Fork Formation.The Fish Creek coal bed within 200 feet (60 m) of the...
Progress toward a ground-water-quality monitoring network for Idaho
R.L. Whitehead
1978, Open-File Report 78-786
A ground-water-quality monitoring network is being designed for Idaho. The primary objectives of the network are to (1) determine the present quality of the State's ground water, (2) provide continual monitoring of groundwater quality for water-management purposes, and (3) serve as a warning system of undesirable changes in ground-water quality. Data...
