Impacts on water quality and biota from natural acid rock drainage in Colorado's Lake Creek watershed
D.A. Bird, Matthew A. Sares, Greg A. Policky, Travis S. Schmidt, Stan E. Church
2006, Conference Paper, Proceedings from the Seventh International Conference on Acid Rock Drainage
Colorado's Lake Creek watershed hosts natural acid rock drainage that significantly impacts surface water, streambed sediment, and aquatic life. The source of the ARD is a group of iron-rich springs that emerge from intensely hydrothermally altered, unexploited, low-grade porphyry copper mineralization in the Grizzly Peak Caldera. Source water chemistry includes...

This report is one of a series of publications, The Quality of Our Nation's Waters, that describe major findings of the NAWQA Program on water-quality issues of regional and national concern. This report presents evaluations of pesticides in streams and ground water based on findings for the first decadal cycle...
Hydraulic and geomorphic monitoring of experimental bridge scour mitigation at selected bridges in Utah, 2003-05
Terry A. Kenney, Tim S. McKinney
2006, Scientific Investigations Report 2006-5033
Unique bridge scour mitigation designs using concrete A-Jacks were developed by the Utah Department of Transportation and installed at the Colorado River Bridge at State Road 191 and the Green River Bridge at State Road 19. The U.S. Geological Survey monitored stream reaches at these sites by collecting streambed-topography and...
Temperature variations at diffuse and focused flow hydrothermal vent sites along the northern East Pacific Rise
Daniel S. Scheirer, Timothy M. Shank, Daniel J. Fornari
2006, Geochemistry, Geophysics, and Geosystems (7)
In the decade following documented volcanic activity on the East Pacific Rise near 9°50′N, we monitored hydrothermal vent fluid temperature variations in conjunction with approximately yearly vent fluid sampling to better understand the processes and physical conditions that govern the evolution of seafloor hydrothermal systems. The temperature of both diffuse...
Potential risks of pesticide degradates to aquatic life
Alistair Boxall, C. Sinclair, Dana W. Koplin
2006, Report, The quality of our Nation’s waters – Pesticides in the Nation’s steams and ground water, 1992-2001
Recent advances in analytical methodology and greater access to analytical standards have led to the detection of degradates from a wide variety of pesticides and other compounds in surface water, ground water, precipitation, air, and sediment (Boxall and others, 2004). Many of these degradates are more persistent in the environment...

M.J. Parsley, P. Kofoot
2006, Report
River discharge and water temperatures that occurred during April through July 2004 provided conditions suitable for spawning by white sturgeon downstream from Bonneville, The Dalles, John Day, and McNary dams. Optimal spawning temperatures in the four tailraces occurred for 3-4 weeks and coincided with the peak of the river hydrograph....
The influence of hydrous Mn–Zn oxides on diel cycling of Zn in an alkaline stream draining abandoned mine lands
Christopher L. Shope, Ying Xie, Christopher H. Gammons
2006, Applied Geochemistry (21) 476-491
Many mining-impacted streams in western Montana with pH near or above neutrality display large (up to 500%) diel cycles in dissolved Zn concentrations. The streams in question typically contain boulders coated with a thin biofilm, as well as black mineral crusts composed of hydrous Mn–Zn oxides. Laboratory mesocosm experiments simulating...
Analysis of sensitivity of simulated recharge to selected parameters for seven watersheds modeled using the precipitation-runoff modeling system
D. Matthew Ely
2006, Scientific Investigations Report 2006-5041
Recharge is a vital component of the ground-water budget and methods for estimating it range from extremely complex to relatively simple. The most commonly used techniques, however, are limited by the scale of application. One method that can be used to estimate ground-water recharge includes process-based models that compute distributed...
