Hydrogeologic data for the South Cross Bayou test injection site, Pinellas County, Florida
John J. Hickey
1978, Open-File Report 78-575
One exploratory hole, a test injection well, and nine monitor wells were constructed at the South Cross Bayou test-injection site between January 1973 and October 1975. At the test site, the first 125 feet below land surface is predominantly limestone and clay; from 125 to 3,280 feet it is mostly...
FORTRAN programs for calculating nonlinear seismic ground response in two dimensions
W. B. Joyner
1978, Open-File Report 78-287
The programs described here were designed for calculating the nonlinear seismic response of a two-dimensional configuration of soil underlain by a semi-infinite elastic medium representing bedrock. There are two programs. One is for plane strain motions, that is, motions in the plane perpendicular to the long axis of the structure,...

1978, Open-File Report 78-735
The Merced River originates on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada and flows through Yosemite National Park. The river drains 1,276 square miles before joining the San Joaquin River near Stevinson, Calif. Data were collected to permit descriptions of the river's quality during a hydrologic cycle, the natural and...

Gary George Lash
1978, Open-File Report 78-391
The Pen Argyl Member, the upper claystone slate member of the Martinsburg Formation, was studied in three quadrangles in Lehigh and Berks Counties, Pennsylvania. Graptolites collected from the Pen Argyl Member at Lehigh Gap indicate a lower Upper Ordovician (Edenian-Maysvillian) age for the Pen Argyl Member. The Pen Argyl Member...

Documentation of potential for surface faulting related to ground-water withdrawal in Las Vegas Valley, Nevada
Thomas L. Holzer
1978, Open-File Report 78-79
Leveling data collected in Las Vegas Valley are compatible with the interpretation that ongoing land-surface displacements related to ground-water withdrawal may be precursory to fault offset of the land surface. Zones of potential faulting intersect regions of intense urban development. The degree of risk and the potential economic consequences from...
Sonobuoy refraction data near Kodiak, Alaska
Mark L. Holmes, Charles A. Meeder, Kenneth Clark Creager
1978, Open-File Report 78-368
A total of 88 unreversed sonobuoy refraction lines were shot over the continental shelf and slope near Kodiak, Alaska, in 1976 and 1977. Useful results were obtained from 59 of these attempts. The field measurements were carried out aboard the USGS research vessel SAMUEL P. LEE. The refraction lines were...

A water-quality assessment of the Muddy Fork Silver Creek watershed, Clark, Floyd, and Washington counties, Indiana
Mark A. Hardy
1978, Open-File Report 78-202
Data collected for a wide range of flow conditions from September 8, 1975, to July 13, 1976, reveal that human and animal waste loading of streams and pesticide use in the watershed are probably the most significant water-quality problems. Generally, the type(s) of water in tributary streams in the south...
Ground-water data on the Hudson River basin, New York
Deborah S. Hammond, Ralph C. Heath, Roger Milton Waller
1978, Open-File Report 78-710
Ground water in the Hudson River basin occurs in unconsolidated deposits and consolidated rock. Sand and gravel units of the unconsolidated deposits, which occur principally in valley bottoms, form the best aquifers and commonly provide well yields of several hundred gallons per minute. Carbonate aquifers are the most productive consolidated...
Principal facts for gravity observations in the Coso Hot Springs area, California
William F. Isherwood, Donald Plouff
1978, Open-File Report 78-298
Gravity observations were made at 292 locations in the Coso Hot Springs area, California (figs. 1 and 2). The field work was completed during June 1976 by William F. Isherwood and Jerry H. Hassemer using LaCoste-Romberg Gravity Meters G-131 and G-159. The purpose of the gravity survey is to provide...
