Preliminary study of subsurface wastewater movement in and near Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, through October 1976
Edward Riley Cox
1977, Open-File Report 77-275
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...
Seepage tests on No Name Creek, Colville Indian Reservation, Washington, May 12-13, 1977
Robert D. MacNish
1977, Open-File Report 77-618
To gain information for a water-management situation, a seepage test was performed on May 12-13, 1977, on a reach of No Name Creek on the Colville Indian Reservation in north-central Washington. On May 13, injection of a concentrated brine at the head of the test reach permitted chloride-concentration data to...

1977, Open-File Report 77-461
Water levels measured during March 1977 in 350 wells tapping alluvial aquifers in Adams, Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Sedgwick, Washington, and Weld Counties, Colo., are included in this report. Water-level records for the 4 preceding years also are included to serve as references illustrating declining or rising water levels.Water-level measurements made...
Summary of the geology and physical properties of the Climax Stock, Nevada Test Site
Florian Maldonado
1977, Open-File Report 77-356
The Climax stock is a composite stock of Cretaceous age, composed of quartz monzonite and granodiorite, which intrudes sedimentary rocks of Paleozoic and Precambrian age. Tertiary rocks consisting of tuff, welded tuff, and breccia overlie the stock and sedimentary rocks. Hydrothermal alteration of the granodiorite and quartz monzonite is found mainly...
Comparative assessment of water use and environmental implications of coal slurry pipelines
Richard N. Palmer, I. C. James II, R.M. Hirsch
1977, Open-File Report 77-698
With other studies conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey of water use in the conversion and transportation of the West 's coal, an analysis of water use and environmental implications of coal-slurry pipeline transport is presented. Simulations of a hypothetical slurry pipeline of 1000-mile length transporting 12.5 million tons per...
Shelled benthic fauna of the eastern Chukchi Sea
Dennis M. Mann
1977, Open-File Report 77-672
The purposes of this study were to identify the benthic shelled infauna and epifauna of the eastern Chukchi Sea, compile species lists and distribution maps, determine recurrent groups of species (communities), and examine the environmental parameters that may control the distribution of the faunal groups. The study was partly supported...
Late Cenozoic stratigraphic units, northeastern San Joaquin Valley, California
Denis E. Marchand, Alan Allwardt
1977, Open-File Report 77-748
Recent mapping of late Tertiary and Quaternary deposits in the northeastern San Joaquin Valley has shown the need for clarification, revision, and subdivision of some of the previously mapped stratigraphic units. We propose a uniform nomenclature for deposits younger than the Mehrten Formation in this region. The Laguna Formation (late...

Chemical, isotopic, and gas compositions of selected thermal springs in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah
Robert H. Mariner, T. S. Presser, William C. Evans
1977, Open-File Report 77-654
Twenty-seven thermal springs in Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah were sampled for detailed chemical and isotopic analysis. The springs issue sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, or sodium mixed-anion waters of near neutral (6.2) to alkaline (9.2) pH. High concentrations of fluoride, more than 8 milligrams per liter, occur in Arizona in...
Hot springs of the central Sierra Nevada, California
Robert H. Mariner, T. S. Presser, William C. Evans
1977, Open-File Report 77-559
Thermal springs of the central Sierra Nevada issue dilute to slightly saline sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, or sodium mixed-anion waters ranging in pH from 6.4 to 9.3. The solubility of chalcedony appears to control the silica concentration in most of the spring waters. Fales Hot Springs may be associated with...
