Chloroform contamination in part of the alluvial aquifer, Southwest Louisville, Kentucky
R. W. Davis, Edward W. Matthews
1980, Open-File Report 80-219
A well in the Ohio River alluvium at Louisville, Ky., has been yielding water with chloroform concentrations as high as 34.80 milligrams per liter since July 1975. A spill of 5,000 gallons of chloroform in 1970, 120 feet from the well, is probably the source of the contamination. The chloroform...
Makah Formation — A deep-marginal-basin sequence of late Eocene and Oligocene age in the northwestern Olympic Peninsula, Washington

1980, Professional Paper 1162-B
The Makah Formation of the Twin River Group crops out in a northwest-trending linear belt in the northwesternmost part of the Olympic Peninsula, Wash. This marine sequence consists of 2800 meters of predominantly thin-bedded siltstone and sandstone that encloses six distinctive newly named members--four thick-bedded amalgamated turbidite sandstone members, an...

Effects of coal mine subsidence in the Sheridan, Wyoming, area
C. Richard Dunrud, Frank W. Osterwald
1980, Professional Paper 1164
Analyses of the surface effects of past underground coal mining in the Sheridan, Wyoming, area suggest that underground mining of strippable coal deposits may damage the environment more over long periods of time than would modern surface mining, provided proper restoration procedures are followed after surface mining. Subsidence depressions and...
Quality of urban runoff, Tecolote Creek drainage area, San Diego County, California
James G. Setmire, Wesley L. Bradford
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-70
The quality of storm runoff from a 9.2-square-mile urbanized watershed, Tecolote Creek, San Diego County, Calif., was studied during nine storms from September 1976 through May 1977. Specific conductance reached 2,100 micromhos and total residue concentrations reached 2,770 milligrams per liter. The chemical oxygen demand concentration in 95% of the...
Survey of helium in natural water wells and springs in southwest Montana and vicinity; Part II
Willis P. Doering, Irving Friedman
1980, Open-File Report 80-1257
This report is a continuation of the work on a helium survey presented in Open-File Report 80-181, which covered the period Sept., 1977 - June 30, 1979. Water samples were analyzed for helium collected from twelve springs and wells, of which four are new locations. A brief description of these...

Digital model simulation of the hydrologic flow system, with emphasis on ground water in Spokane Valley, Washington and Idaho
E.L. Bolke, J.J. Washington
1980, Open-File Report 80-1300
A digital-computer model of the hydrologic flow system, with emphasis on ground water, was developed for Spokane Valley, Washington and Idaho. The current rate of ground-water pumping in Spokane Valley has little effect on water levels in the Spokane aquifer, although short-term water-level declines occur locally. The model was used...
Shorter contributions to stratigraphy and structural geology, 1979
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1980, Professional Paper 1126-A-J
PART A: A system of anticlines lies along the trend of the sinuous course of the Colorado River for a distance of 97 km in the central Grand Canyon. Similar anticlines occur in some perennially wet side canyons. The anticlines are most abundant and well developed along northeast-trending reaches of...

Annual water-resources review White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico
R. R. Cruz
1980, Open-File Report 80-753
Ground-water data were collected in 1979 at White Sands Missile Range in south-central New Mexico. Total ground-water pumpage from the Post Headquarters well field, which produces more than 98% of the water used at White Sands Missile Range, was 1.4 million gallons more in 1979 than in 1978. The most...

Map showing general chemical quality of surface water in the Alton-Kolob coal-fields area, Utah
Don Price
1980, IMAP 1235-A
This is one of a series of maps that describes the geology and related natural resources of the Alton-Kolob coal-fields area, Utah. The purpose of this map is to show the general chemical quality of surface water in the area by ranges of dissolved-solids concentrations (salinity) known or assumed to...

Geothermal gradients in the Missoula and Bitterroot Valleys, west-central Montana
Robert B. Leonard, Wayne A. Wood
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-89
Temperature-depth profiles of six cased test holes in the Missoula and Bitterroot Valleys, west-central Montana, consist of linear segments, the intersections of which commonly correspond with lithologic boundaries. Geothermal gradients commonly decreased with depth, probably as a result of compaction and higher quartz content of the deeper sedimentary deposits. There...
