1978, Open-File Report 78-144
The U. S. Geological Survey's National Center is on a 105-acre tract straddling rocks of two distinct types. These are pelitic schists of late Precambrian and early Paleozoic age; and sandstone, shale, siltstone, and conglomerate of Triassic age. Within the Triassic part is a diabase dike and an associated contact...
Model analysis of the impact on ground-water conditions of the Muskegon County wastewater disposal system, Michigan
Michael G. McDonald, William B. Fleck
1978, Open-File Report 78-99
A digital model was developed to study the impact on ground-water conditions of the Muskegon County wastewater disposal system. At the disposal site, wastewater is stored in two 850-acre (344-ha) lagoons and then spray-irrigated on crop land. About 70 miles (105 km) of drainage tile, which underlies the irrigated land,...
Preliminary catalog of earthquakes in northern Imperial Valley, California, January 1, 1977 to March 31, 1977
Madeline Schnapp, Gary S. Fuis
1978, Open-File Report 78-74
The northern section of the Imperial Valley region in Southern California is an area of known geothermal resources and an area of high seismicity. To study in detail the relationship between geothermal areas and earthquakes, the U.S. Geological Survey has been monitoring seismicity in the Imperial Valley with a sixteen...
Continuous tilt, strain, and magnetic field measurements near four earthquakes (ML = 3.6 to 3.8) on the San Andreas fault, California
M.J.S. Johnston, A.C. Jones, C.E. Mortensen, B.E. Smith
1978, Open-File Report 78-987
Four moderate earthquakes (M = 3.6 to 3.8) have occurred on the San Andreas fault in central California since October, 1977. These earthquakes are the first since 1974 to occur at this magnitude level within the array of tilt, strain, and magnetic instruments between Chalome (35.726N, 12.249 W) and San...
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...

Ice-gouged microrelief on the floor of the eastern Chukchi Sea, Alaska: a reconnaissance survey
Lawrence J. Toimil
1978, Open-File Report 78-693
Side-scan sonar and bathymetric records obtained from 1,800 km of trackline from the eastern Chukchi Sea continental shelf, between water depths of 20 and 70 m show the ubiquitous presence of furrow-like linear depressions produced by gouging of the sea bed by ice keels. These sea bed micro-features are regionally...
Floodflow analysis of Ninemile Creek, Onondaga County, New York
Richard Lumia, Bernard Dunn
1978, Open-File Report 78-85
A flood-stage and discharge analysis was made for a 3.61 mile reach of Ninemile Creek between Amboy and Camillus. Water-surface profiles were developed for 50-year, 100-year, and September 26, 1975 flood discharges at Camillus for four different channel conditions: (1) with four culverts at Camillus bypass and a bridge at...
Water-quality investigation near the Chico and Hunters geothermal lease-application areas, Park and Sweet Grass counties, Montana
Robert B. Leonard, Ronald R. Shields, Norman A. Midtlyng
1978, Open-File Report 78-199
Water quality in and adjacent to geothermal lease-application areas near Chico and Hunters Hot Springs was investigated during two surveys in October 1976 and April 1977. The resulting data were needed to evaluate the effects of proposed geothermal exploration and development on the Yellowstone River and its tributaries.Waters from the...

Geologic setting of the lead and zinc deposits, Drenchwater Creek area, Howard Pass Quadrangle, Western Brooks Range, Alaska
Warren J. Nokleberg, Gary R. Winkler
1978, Open-File Report 78-70-C
Significant concentrations of galena, sphalerite, and minor barite are present in the Drenchwater Creek area, Howard Pass quadrangle, western Brooks Range, Alaska. Detailed geologic mapping indicates that galena, sphalerite and pyrite occur sporadically in a zone at least 1,830 m. long and 6-30 m. wide. The sulfides occur in tuff,...
Sediment transport by irrigation return flows on the Yakima Indian Reservation, Washington 1975 and 1976 irrigation seasons
Leonard M. Nelson
1978, Open-File Report 78-947
As determined from data collected at 10 sites on the Yakima Indian Reservation during the 1975 and 1976 irrigation seasons (April-September), seasonal sediment discharges in irrigation return flows ranged from 11,000 tons from Marion Drain and Satus Drain 302, to 400 tons from Coulee Drain. There was little variation between...
Hydrologic data for urban storm runoff from three localities in the Denver metropolitan area, Colorado
