Distribution of gases in the unsaturated zone at a low-level radioactive-waste disposal site near Sheffield, Illinois
Robert G. Striegl
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4025
The unsaturated zone is a medium that provides pneumatic communication for the movement of gases from wastes buried in landfills to the atmosphere, biota, and groundwater. Gases in unsaturated glacial and eolian deposits near a waste-disposal trench at the low-level radioactive-waste disposal site near Sheffield, Bureau County, Illinois, were identified,...
Geohydrology of the Flathead Indian Reservation, northwestern Montana
S.E. Slagle
1988, Water-Resources Investigations Report 88-4142
The geohydrology of the Flathead Indian Reservation was studied to provide information needed to formulate groundwater development plans. Bedrock in the area consists predominantly of slightly metamorphosed carbonate and fine-grained clasitc rocks of the Precambrian Belt Supergroup. Valley-fill deposits consist of alluvium of Holocene age; glacial and glaciolacustrine boulders, cobbles,...

Benthic macrofauna and ancillary data for San Francisco Bay, California, March to November 1987
Laurence E. Schemel, Allan Y. Ota, J.G. Harmon, J. M. Shay, R.N. Adorado
1988, Open-File Report 88-192
Benthic macrofauna and ancillary data were collected during 1987 as part of the U.S. Geological Survey Regional Effects Monitoring Program in San Francisco Bay, California. Data were collected during five cruises at 2-month intervals from March through November. Benthic macrofauna for identification of species and sediment for size analysis were...
Ground-water hydraulics, regional flow, and ground-water development of the Floridan aquifer system in Florida and in parts of Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama
Peter W. Bush, Richard H. Johnston
1988, Professional Paper 1403-C
The Floridan aquifer system is one of the major sources of groundwater supplies in the United States. This productive aquifer system underlies all of Florida, southeast Georgia, and small parts of adjoining Alabama and South Carolina, for a total area of about 100,000 square miles. About 3 billion gallons of...

Natural aggregates of the conterminous United States
William H. Langer
1988, Bulletin 1594
Crushed stone and sand and gravel are the two main sources of natural aggregates. These materials are commonly used construction materials and frequently can be interchanged with one another. They are widely used throughout the United States, with every State except two producing crushed stone. Together they amount to about...

Water use on the Snake River plain, Idaho and eastern Oregon
S. A. Goodell
1988, Professional Paper 1408-E
Amounts of water withdrawn and consumptively used for irrigation and other uses on the Snake River Plain were estimated to help deter- mine hydrologic effects of ground- and surface-water use. Irrigation is the largest off stream use of water on the plain. Surface-water irriga- tion began in the 1840's and...

1988, Open-File Report 88-79
Much of the floor of the Owens Valley, California, is covered with alkaline scrub and alkaline meadow plant communities, whose existence is dependent partly on precipitation and partly on water infiltrated into the rooting zone from the shallow water table. The extent to which these plant communities are capable of...
