Geology of the north end of the Salt Valley Anticline, Grand County, Utah
Leonard Meade Gard
1976, Open-File Report 76-303
This report describes the geology and hydrology of a portion of the Salt Valley anticline lying north of Moab, Utah, that is being studied as a potential site for underground storage of nuclear waste in salt. Selection of this area was based on recommendations made in an earlier appraisal of...
Waste-assimilation study of Koshkonong Creek below sewage-treatment plant at Sun Prairie, Wisconsin
R. Stephen Grant
1976, Open-File Report 76-655
A waste-load-assimilation study of a reach of Koshkonong Creek below the Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, sewage-treatment-plant outfall indicated that a high level of treatment would be required to meet Wisconsin water-quality standards. To maintain a minimum dissolved-oxygen concentration of 5 mg/liter during the critical summer low-flow period, 5-day carbonaceous biochemical-oxygen demand...
Summary report of the sediments, structural framework, petroleum potential, environmental conditions, and operational considerations of the United States Beaufort Sea, Alaska area
Arthur Grantz, P. W. Barnes, S.L. Eittreim, Erk Reimnitz, E. W. Scott, R. A. Smith, George Stewart, L.J. Toimil
1976, Open-File Report 76-830
Proposed OCS Oil and Gas Lease Sale i54comprising approximately 20,000 sq km in the Beaufort Sea of northern Alaska, has good potential for petroleum in each of the three geologic provinces it contains. However, only about half of the proposed area underlies waters shallower than 20 m, the apparent present...
A brief hydrologic appraisal of the July 3-4, 1975, flash flood in Las Vegas Valley, Nevada
T. L. Katzer, Patrick A. Glancy, Lynn Harmsen
1976, Open-File Report 76-100
Heavy thunderstorm precipitation on the afternoon of July 3, 1975, between metropolitan Las Vegas and the mountains to the south, west, and north, caused flash flooding in the city area. Total storm precipitation equaled or exceeded 3 inches (76 mm) in some areas. The total storm yield on the area...
Water-quality study of a reach of the Merced River in Yosemite National Park and vicinity, California, April 1973 through September 1974
Ray J. Hoffman, Alex E. Dong, Gail L. Keeter
1976, Open-File Report 76-326
A 25-mile reach of the Merced River was studied to provide the U.S. National Park Service with water-quality data prior to the operation of a new sewage treatment plant. Water-quality variables investigated were discharge, temperature, major chemical constituents, selected trace metals, specific conductance, suspended sediment, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, pH ,...
Effect of irrigation pumping on desert pupfish habitats in the Ash Meadows, Nye County, Nevada
William W. Dudley Jr., J. D. Larson
1976, Professional Paper 927
The Ash Meadows area, at the southern tip of the Amargosa Desert in southern Nevada, discharges ground water collected over several thousand square miles of a regional flow system developed in Paleozoic carbonate rocks. Water moves westward across fault contacts from the bedrock into poorly interconnected gravel, sand, and terrestrial-limestone...
Effects of urbanization on flood characteristics in Nashville-Davidson County, Tennessee
Herman C. Wibben
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-121
Streamflow data from 14 basins in Davidson County, Tenn., were extended in time by use of a digital model of the hydrologic system. The basins ranged in size from 1.58 to 64.0 square miles and ranged in extent of manmade impervious cover from 3 to 37 percent. The flood-frequency characteristics...
Measurement of "turbidity" and related characteristics of natural waters
R.J. Pickering
1976, Open-File Report 76-153
The U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division has adopted the following principles to be used in selecting methods for the measurement of light transmitting characteristics of natural waters: (1) standard instruments and methods are to be adopted to measure and report in optical units, avoiding ' turbidity ' as a...
