Digital-transport model study of Diisopropylmethylphosphonate (DIMP) ground-water contamination at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal, Colorado
James W. Warner
1979, Open-File Report 79-676
Diisopropylmethylphosphonate (DIMP) is an organic compound produced as a byproduct of the manufacture and detoxification of GB nerve gas. Ground-water contamination by DIMP from the disposal of wastes into unlined surface ponds at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal occurred from 1952 to 1956. A digital-transport model was used to determine the...

Core sampling beneath low-level radioactive-waste burial trenches, West Valley, Cattaraugus County, New York
David E. Prudic
1979, Open-File Report 79-1532
A technique was developed for collecting cores for radiometric analysis from beneath a low-level radioactive-waste landfill to determine the rates of downward radionuclide migration below the trenches. A closed pipe was driven through the buried waste, and a removable point withdrawn. The hole was then advanced by alternately pushing a...
Recharge to low-level radioactive-waste burial trenches 11 through 14, West Valley, New York
David E. Prudic
1979, Open-File Report 79-990
After the dry summer of 1978, water levels began to rise in four of seven newer low-level radioactive-waste burial trenches at the Western New York Nuclear Service Center. The water-level rise in these trenches does not appear to be related to ground-water inflow, but rather to increased infiltration of precipitation...

Amy C. White, Stuart W. McKenzie
1979, Open-File Report 79-978
In 1978, data were collected for identification and quantification of benthic invertebrates, periphyton, and bottom material and their trace-metals concentrations from three sites in Salmon Creek basin, Wash. Metal analyses included arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, zinc, selenium, and mercury. Physical data collected included water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, discharge,...

1979, Open-File Report 79-864
A six-station seismic network, about 140 km in diameter, has been operated just west of Guatemala City since March 1975, as part of a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the Institute Nacional de Sismologia, Vulcanologia, Meteorologia e Hidrologia (INSIVUMEH), of Guatemala. The purpose of this project was...
A one-dimensional, steady-state, dissolved-oxygen model and waste-load assimilation study for Silver Creek, Clark and Floyd counties, Indiana
William G. Wilber, Charles G. Crawford, James G. Peters
1979, Open-File Report 79-1253
The Indiana State Board of Health is developing a State water-quality management plan that includes establishing limits for wastewater effluents discharged into Indiana streams. A digital model calibrated to conditions in Silver Creek was used to develop alternatives for future waste loadings that would be compatible with Indiana stream water-quality...

Ground-water data collected in 1975-76 in the Swan and Avon valleys of western Montana and in 1978 in southwestern Missoula are presented in two tables. Table 1 is an inventory of 146 selected wells and table 2 lists chemical analyses of ground water from 52 wells. (Woodard-USGS)...
Sediment discharge and channel change in the North Fork Teton River, 1977-78, Fremont and Madison counties, Idaho
Rhea P. Williams
1979, Open-File Report 79-1335
The Teton Dam failure flood of June 5, 1976, severely disrupted the geomorphic character of North Fork Teton River in Idaho. Extensive channel restoration was required to contain expected normal spring flows. Six principal sites were established on the 17-mile reach of the river to study sediment transport and channel...
