Reconnaissance engineering geology of Sitka and vicinity, Alaska, with emphasis on evaluation of earthquake and other geologic hazards
Lynn A. Yehle
1974, Open-File Report 74-53
A program to study the engineering geology of most of the larger Alaska coastal communities and to evaluate their earthquake and other geologic hazards was started following the 1964 Alaska earthquake; this report about Sitka and vicinity is a product of that program. Field-study methods were of a reconnaissance nature,...
Digital modeling of radioactive and chemical waste transport in the Snake River plain aquifer at the National Reactor Testing Station, Idaho
J.B. Robertson
1974, Open-File Report 74-1089
Industrial and low-level radioactive liquid wastes at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS) in Idaho have been disposed to the Snake River Plain aquifer since 1952. Monitoring studies have indicated that tritium and chloride have dispersed over a 15-square mile (39-square kilometer) area of the aquifer in low but detectable...
Hard iron ore at the Cliffs Shaft Mines, Ishpeming, Michigan
Jacob Eugene Gair
1974, Open-File Report 74-227
At the Cliffs Shaft Mines, for many years the premiere hard iron ore mine of Michigan, bodies of ore typically are localized in the upper part of the Negaunee iron-formation, close beneath Goodrich Quartzite in the axial part of the Marquette synclinorium. Individual ore bodies may be as much as...
A possible concealed pluton in Beaverhead and Madison Counties, Montana, and Clark County, Idaho
Irving Jerome Witkind
1974, Open-File Report 74-312
A northeast-trending magnetic anomaly in parts of Beaverhead and Madison Counties, Mont., and Clark County, Idaho, may reflect the trend, shape, and size of a concealed pluton. The type of rock that forms the pluton(?) is unknown. A small volcanic pipe, possibly a diatreme, is at the southeast end of...
Water supply at Painted Canyon Overlook, Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park (South Unit), southwestern North Dakota
M.G. Croft
1974, Open-File Report 74-136
A 1,930-foot (588-metre) water-supply well was constructed at the Painted Canyon Overlook, Theodore Roosevelt National Memorial Park (South Unit), southwestern North Dakota. Aquifers underlying the site are in rocks of Late Cretaceous and Tertiary age. These rocks have an aggreqate thickness of about 2,000 feet (610 metres). The well screen...
Streamflow measurement network review for hydroelectric power applications in Brazil
Francis T. Schaefer
1974, Open-File Report 74-357
This review of selected segments of the stream-gaging network of Brazil was undertaken by the writer in March and April, 1973, pursuant to an agreement between Companhia de Pesquisa de Recursos Minerais (CPRM) and Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras S.A. (ELETROBRAS) as a part of the cooperative program of the U.S. Geological...

Tungsten resources of Brazil
Max Gregg White
1974, Open-File Report 74-332
Brazilian tungsten production, 85 percent of which is exported, comes almost entirely from scheelite-bearing tactites in northeast Brazil, and has reached an annual rate of about 2,000 metric tons (2,200 short tons) of scheelite concentrate with 70 percent WO3. Scheelite ore reserves, located principally in the State of Rio Grande...
Tin resources of Brazil
Max Gregg White
1974, Open-File Report 74-333
Annual tin production in Brazil, most of it from cassiterite placer deposits in Rondonia Territory, amounts to about 4,000 metric tons (4,400 short tons) of concentrate containing 66 percent tin, much of which is consumed by Brazilian industry. Reserves of cassiterite concentrate in the placers of Rondonia district are estimated at...

Mineral resources of proposed additions to the Salmon-Trinity Alps Primitive Area, California
Preston E. Hotz, Robert C. Greene, Terry J. Close, Robert K. Evans
1974, Open-File Report 74-71
A mineral survey of four areas totalling 80 square miles, not included during the 1968-70 examination of the proposed Salmon-Trinity Alps Wilderness, was made by the U.S. Geological Survey and U.S. Bureau of Mines in 1973. Geological Survey personnel mapped the geology and collected stream-sediment and rock samples for spectrographic...
Land-surface subsidence in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas
R.K. Gabrysch, C.W. Bonnet
1974, Open-File Report 74-123
The pumping of large amounts of ground water in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, has resulted in water-level declines of as much as 200 feet (61 metres) in wells completed in the Chicot aquifer and as much as 325 feet (99 metres) in wells completed in the Evangeline aquifer during 1943-73....

A program to compute aquifer-response coefficients
Thomas Maddock
1974, Open-File Report 75-612
An alternating direction technique is used to solve finite difference equations approximating the flow of water in an aquifer. The solutions produce response coefficients relating pumping from wells to drawdowns within those wells. The product of the response coefficient with the pumping values produces a linear algebraic technological function that...
Pesticides data-collection activities of the U.S. Geological Survey in Texas
Douglas B. Manigold
1974, Open-File Report 74-51
The water-resources investigations program of the Geological Survey has the objective of seeing that the Nation's water resources are appraised and that the necessary water data to develop and manage them efficiently are available when needed. In carrying out this objective, the Survey is the primary source of hydrologic data...
Geologic and hydrologic considerations for various concepts of high-level radioactive waste disposal in conterminous United States

1974, Open-File Report 74-158
The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate and identify which geohydrologic environments in conterminous United States are best suited for various concepts or methods of underground disposal of high-level radioactive wastes and to establish geologic and hydrologic criteria that are pertinent to high-level waste disposal. The unproven methods of...
