Preliminary investigation of the elemental variation and diagenesis of a tabular uranium deposit, La Sal Mine, San Juan County, Utah
Robert A. Brooks, John A. Campbell
1976, Open-File Report 76-287
Ore in the La Sal mine, San Juan County, Utah, occurs as a typical tabular-type uranium deposit of the-Colorado Plateau. Uranium-vanadium occurs in the Salt Wash Member of the Jurassic Morrison Formation. Chemical and petrographic analyses were used to determine elemental variation and diagenetic aspects across the orebody. Vanadium is...
Numerical modeling of subsurface radioactive solute transport from waste seepage ponds at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
John B. Robertson
1976, Open-File Report 76-717
Aqueous chemical and low-level radioactive effluents have been disposed to seepage ponds since 1952 at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The solutions percolate toward the Snake River Plain aquifer (135 m below) through interlayered basalts and unconsolidated sediments and an extensive zone of ground water perched on a sedimentary layer...
An oilspill risk analysis for the Mid-Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf lease area
Richard Allmon Smith, James Richard Slack, Robert K. Davis
1976, Open-File Report 76-451
An oilspill risk analysis was conducted to determine relative environmental impacts of developing oil in different regions of the Mid-Atlantic Outer Continental Shelf lease area. The study analyzed probability of spills, likely path of pollutants from spills, and locations in space and time of recreational and biological resources likely to...
Mineral resources of Elko County, Nevada
Roscoe Maurice Smith
1976, Open-File Report 76-56
Of the 66 named mining districts in Elko County, 56 have been productive of one or more of 19 different commodities: 11 metals--copper, gold, silver, lead, zinc, mercury, tungsten, manganese, iron, uranium, and antimony; 8 nonmetals--sand and gravel, stone, barite, diatomite, gems, oil shale, volcanic ash, and clay. In addition...

Hydrology of the solid waste burial ground as related to potential migration of radionuclides, Idaho National Engineering Laboratory
Jack T. Barraclough, J.B. Robertson, V.J. Janzer, L.G. Saindon
1976, Open-File Report 76-471
A study was made (1970-1974) to evaluate the geohydrologic and geochemical controls on subsurface migration of radionuclides from pits and trenches in the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) solid waste burial ground and to determine the existence and extent of radionuclide migration from the burial ground. A total of about...

History of irrigation and characteristics of streamflow in Nebraska, part of the North and South Platte River basins
F. Butler Shaffer
1976, Open-File Report 76-167
More than 80 years of streamflow records have been collected in Nebraska. Such records are essential in planning water developments and managing water resources. Their value can be enhanced if the records are analyzed statistically. This report presents statistics on the flow of streams in the North and South Platte...
Salt-water encroachment in aquifers near the Houston Ship Channel, Texas
Donald G. Jorgensen
1976, Open-File Report 76-781
Interpretations based on analyses of inorganic constituents, dissolved organic carbon, and tritium in ground water and surface waters indicate that the Houston Ship Channel is the source of salt water that has been detected in shallow wells between Baytown and Houston, Texas. Analyses of the ratios of the stable isotopes...
