Accordingly, most regional utility and transportation systems, such as railroads and electrical transmission lines, have major components in the...
Water resources in a rapidly growing region: Oakland County, Michigan
Stephen S. Aichele
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1269
Oakland County is a suburban county in southeast Michigan. Population and demand for water grew steadily in the county over the 20th century, and these trends are expected to continue in coming decades. Roughly 75 percent of current water demand is met by imported water from the Detroit Water and...

Graphical viewer for displaying locations and logs of selected wells and test holes in Putnam County, New York
Stephen W. Wolcott
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1198
Aquifers (water bearing geologic units) are the primary source of drinking water in most of Putnam County, N.Y. The principal sources of data used to define the geometry and hydraulic characteristics of aquifers are the logs of wells and test holes within the county. This report explains how to use...
Flood of September 18-19, 2004 in the Upper Delaware River Basin, New York
Lloyd T. Brooks
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1166
The interaction between the remnants of tropical depression Ivan and a frontal boundary in the upper Delaware River basin on September 18-19, 2004, produced 4 to more than 6 inches of rainfall over a 5-county area within a 24-hour period. Significant flooding occurred on the East Branch Delaware River and...
Blind comparisons of shear-wave velocities at closely-spaced sites in San Jose, California: Proceedings of a Workshop held at the US Geological Survey, Menlo Park, May 3, 2004
Michael W. Asten, David M. Boore, editor(s)
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1169
Shear-wave velocities within several hundred meters of Earth's surface are important in specifying earthquake ground motions for engineering design. Not only are the shearwave velocities used in classifying sites for use of modern building codes, but they are also used in site-specific studies of particularly significant structures. Many are the...

This report contains major- and trace-element concentration data for soil samples collected from 265 sites along two continental-scale transects in North America. One of the transects extends from northern Manitoba to the United States-Mexico border near El Paso, Tex. and consists of 105 sites. The other transect approximately follows the...
Mercury recycling in the United States in 2000
William E. Brooks, Grecia R. Matos
2005, Open-File Report 2005-1236
Reclamation and recycling of mercury from used mercury- containing products and treatment of byproduct mercury from gold mining is vital to the continued, though declining, use of this metal. Mercury is reclaimed from mercury-containing waste by treatment in multistep high-temperature retorts-the mercury is volatized and then condensed for purification and...
Porphyry copper deposits of the world: database, map, and grade and tonnage models

2005, Open-File Report 2005-1060
Mineral deposit models are important in exploration planning and quantitative resource assessments for two reasons: (1) grades and tonnages among deposit types are significantly different, and (2) many types occur in different geologic settings that can be identified from geologic maps. Mineral deposit models are the keystone in combining the...
