Hydrogeologic data for the Bear Creek subsurface-injection test site, St. Petersburg, Florida
John J. Hickey
1978, Open-File Report 78-853
Lithologic, hydraulic, geophysical, and water-quality data were collected at the Bear Creek subsurface-injection test site at St. Petersburg, FL. The data were collected to determine the feasibility of subsurface injection of storm runoff. An exploratory hole and five observation wells were constructed between October 1974 and April 1976. The lithology...
Monitoring crustal deformation in the Geysers-Clear Lake geothermal area, California
Ben Elder Lofgren
1978, Open-File Report 78-597
Geodetic surveys since 1972-73 reveal significant crustal deformation in The Geysers-Clear Lake region. Resurveys of precise control networks are measuring both vertical and horizontal ground movement, with most of the change continuing in the area of geothermal fluid withdrawal. Preliminary evidence suggests right-lateral horizontal movement on northwest-trending fault systems and...
