Results and interpretation of exploratory drilling near the Picacho Fault, south-central Arizona
Thomas L. Holzer
1978, Open-File Report 78-1016
Modern surface faulting along the Picacho fault, east of Picacho, Arizona, has been attributed to ground-water withdrawal. In September 1977, three exploratory test holes were drilled 5 km east of Picacho and across the Picacho fault to investigate subsurface conditions and the mechanism of the faulting. The holes were logged...
Potential sites for a spent unreprocessed fuel facility (SURFF), southwestern part of the Nevada Test Site

1978, Open-File Report 78-269
In the absence of specific criteria, the topography, geomorphology, and geology of Jackass Flats and vicinity in the southwestern part of the Nevada Test Site are evaluated by arbitrary guidelines for a Spent Unreprocessed Fuel Facility. The guidelines include requirements for surface slopes of less than 5 percent, 61 m...
Preliminary report on the clay mineralogy of the Upper Devonian Shales in the southern and middle Appalachian Basin
John W. Hosterman, Patricia J. Loferski
1978, Open-File Report 78-1084
The distribution of kaolinite in parts of the Devonian shale section is the most significant finding of this work. These shales are composed predominately of 2M illite and illitic mixed-layer clay with minor amounts of chlorite and kaolinite. Preliminary data indicate that kaolinite, the only allogenic clay mineral, is present...

Rainfall-runoff data for selected basins, Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, 1973-77
Antonius Laenen, Gary L. Solin
1978, Open-File Report 78-291
In the Portland-Vancouver area, storms and floods are presently being studied in 16 basins with drainage areas ranging from 0.21 to 6.63 square miles and with various basin slopes, degrees of imperviousness, and mixes of land use. Fanno Creek basin in Portland has the longest period of rainfall-runoff record, starting...
Water-quality data for the Village Creek Watershed, northeast Arkansas
T.E. Lamb
1978, Open-File Report 78-497
The results of a 1-year study of surface-water quality in the Village Creek Watershed are presented to document conditions before implementation of Soil Conservation Service programs. Analysis of samples collected at six sites showed that most of the concentrations found are in the range to be expected of drainage from...

Evaluation of the geologic and hydrologic factors related to the waste-storage potential of Mesozoic aquifers in the southern part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, South Carolina and Georgia
Philip M. Brown, D.L. Brown, M.S. Reid, O. B. Lloyd Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-292
This report describes the subsurface distribution of rocks of Cretaceous to Late Jurassic(?) age in the Atlantic. Coastal Plain, South Carolina and Georgia, and examines their potential for deep-well waste storage. For mapping purposes a waste-storage "operational unit" is established and defined. It is a sand or sandstone layer, 20...
