Bottom material from the Willamette River was collected and mixed with Willamette and Columbia River waters on May 17, 1977. The elutriate, as well as each sample, was analyzed for selected nutrients, metals, and pesticides. Results show that the average dissolved ammonia, manganese, and zinc concentrations would require dilution by...

Measurements with a Fraunhofer Line Discriminator (FLD) imaging system over uranium-bearing sandstones in the Galisteo Formation, Sandia Mountains, New Mexico, show that luminescence of these sandstones is detectable and in general agreement with their distribution as mapped on the ground. The FLD imaging system coupled with a color television monitor...

Under Contract No. 14-08-0001-15727, awarded by the U.S. Geological Survey, Jim Feighny, of Loveland, Colo., drilled 42 test holes in the Williams Fork Mountains near Hayden, Colo., in September 1976. The area is referred to in the Contract as Yampa No. 3, which includes the Bureau of Land Management's (ELM)...

In 1974 about 30 percent of the nearly 600 acre-feet of water used on the Tulalip Indian Reservation was obtained from a surface-water reservoir, while nearly 70 percent was obtained from ground-water sources. Domestic use accounted for about 93 percent of total water use. Nutrient (phosphorus) concentrations measured in most...

Water-level measurements were made in more than 600 wells during January 1977 in the northern High Plains of Colorado which includes about 9,500 square miles. Most of these wells were irrigation wells, but several stock and government-owned wells were also measured, especially in areas where there is little irrigation. Changes...

Analyses of waters-from springs in Nevada have led to the identification of an area containing anomalous amounts of lithium northwest of the Clayton Valley-area. Fish Lake Valley and Columbus Salt Marsh contain waters having, relatively high lithium and potassium concentrations. At least a part of these waters is probably derived...

Land-use data derived from high-altitude photography and satellite imagery are presented for 49 basins in Delaware, and eastern Maryland and Virginia. Based on 1:100,000 scale maps from high-altitude photography, basin land cover was extracted at the generalized Level I and the more detailed Level II classification categories. Level I land-use...

During the 1975 calendar year rainfall in Dade County, Fla., was 14.89 inches below the long-term average (57.17 in.). Ground-water levels ranged from 0.1 foot above to 1.1 feet below average. The highest and lowest ground-water levels for the year were both 1 foot below their long-term averages. In the...

Undisturbed cores of saprolite developed on crystalline rocks of the Piedmont Province in Fairfax County, Virginia have been obtained using a combination of Shelby tubes, Denison sampler, and modified diamond core-drilling. The principal purpose of the core study is to correlate variations in chemistry, mineralogy and texture with engineering properties...

Gold occurs in quartz veins and associated altered country rocks at the Jabal Guyan ancient mine in southern Saudi Arabia. The gold-bearing veins follow northwest-trending fault zones which cut the Precambrian metavolcanic rocks of the area. The veins are brecciated, and gold may have been remobilized during cataclasis. A second...

Water-surface profiles of the 25-year and 100-year floods maps on which the 25-, 50-, and 100-year flood limits are delineated for streams in the Accotink Creek basin are presented in this report. Excluded are segments of Accotink Creek within the Fort Belvoir Military Reservation. The techniques used in the computation...

Regional decline of aquifer head due to ground-water withdrawal in the Houston area has caused extensive land-surface subsidence. The NASA-Johnson Space Center (NASA-JSC) in southeastern Harris County, Texas, was about 13 to 19 feet above mean sea level in 1974 and sinking at a rate of more than 0.2 foot...

Preface: A method is presented for estimating the depth of the loo-year flood in four hydrologic areas in Tennessee. Depths at 151 gaging stations on streams that were not significantly affected by man made changes were related to basin characteristics by multiple regression techniques. Equations derived from the analysis can...

Investigations were made by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with Teton County, Wyoming and the National Park Service to determine the effects on nearby lakes and streams of percolating wastewater effluent at three sites in and near Grand Teton National Park. Observation wells were drilled at two of the...

Total withdrawals of ground water in the Houston district, Texas , increased 9 percent from about 488 million gallons per day in 1970 to about 532 million gallons per day in 1974. The average annual rate of increase from 1960 to 1969 was about 6.3 percent. During 1970-74, increases in...

A large part of western Alaska has been included in a uranium- thorium metallogenic province (Clark and others, 1974; Miller and Bunker, 1976; Miller, 1976) chiefly because of the occurrence of uraniferous plutonic rocks with local concentrations of uranium minerals. Recently, however, anomalous amounts of uranium and thorium have been...

The Zane Hills pluton underlies a mountainous area of about 460 km2 in west-central Alaska and is locally enriched in uranium and thorium (Miller and Ferrians, 1968; Miller, 1970; Staatz and Miller, 1976). While over 90 percent of the pluton consists of granodiorite with average contents of uranium and thorium,...
