Specification aggregate quarry expansion - A case study demonstrating sustainable management of natural aggregate resources
William H. Langer, M. L. Tucker
2003, Open-File Report 2003-121
Many countries, provinces, territories, or states in the European Union, Australia, Canada, the United States, and elsewhere have begun implementing sustainability programs, but most of those programs stop short of sustainable management of aggregate resources. Sustainable practices do not always have to be conducted under the title of sustainability. This...
Silver Recycling in the United States in 2000
Henry E. Hilliard
2003, Open-File Report 2003-33
In 2000, the global silver supply deficit (the difference between mine and scrap supply and silver demand) was more than 3,000 metric tons. U.S. silver demand for photographic applications alone was nearly equal to annual U.S. silver production. Until 1968, the U.S. silver deficit was filled by withdrawals from the...
Geology of Badlands National Park: A preliminary report
Philip W. Stoffer
2003, Open-File Report 2003-35
Badlands National Park is host to perhaps the most scenic geology and landscape features in the Western Interior region of the United States. Ongoing erosion that forms the "badlands" exposes ancient sedimentary strata of Late Cretaceous through Oligocene age. Quaternary erosional and depositional processes are responsible for most of the...

2003, Open-File Report 2001-283
The water chemistry of aquifers and streams in the Upper Silesia Ore District, Poland are affected by their proximity to zinc, lead, and silver ores and by ongoing mining activities that date back to the 11th century. This report presents hydrologic and water-quality data collected as part of a collaborative...
Cadmium Recycling in the United States in 2000
Jozef Plachy
2003, Open-File Report 2003-49
Recycling of cadmium is a young and growing industry that has been influenced by environmental concerns and regulatory constraints. Domestic recycling of cadmium began in 1989 as a byproduct of processing of spent nickel-cadmium batteries. In 1995, International Metals Reclamation Co. Inc. expanded its operations by building a dedicated cadmium...

This bibliography is an alphabetical listing by author of about 1,500 publications and formal releases, including patents and selected abstracts, from the world literature on the distribution, properties, and uses of zeolites from sedimentary deposits for the period 1998-2002. The bibliography is available on a 3.5-inch floppy diskette, which was...
Structure of the Tucson Basin, Arizona from gravity and aeromagnetic data
Victoria Louise Rystrom
2003, Open-File Report 2003-116
Interpretation of gravity and high-resolution aeromagnetic data reveal the three-dimensional geometry of the Tuscson Basin, Arizona and the lithology of its basement. Limited drill hole and seismic data indicate that the maximum depth to the crystalline basement is approximately 3600 meters and that the sedimentary sequences in the upper ~2000...

A geographic information system tool to solve regression equations and estimate flow-frequency characteristics of Vermont Streams
Scott A. Olson, Gary D. Tasker, Craig M. Johnston
2003, Open-File Report 2002-494
Estimates of the magnitude and frequency of streamflow are needed to safely and economically design bridges, culverts, and other structures in or near streams. These estimates also are used for managing floodplains, identifying flood-hazard areas, and establishing flood-insurance rates, but may be required at ungaged sites where no observed flood...

The volume, texture, and chemistry of sediment deposited in a mill pond on the West Branch of the Wolf River at Neopit, Wis., Menominee Reservation, were studied in 2001-2002. The study was accomplished by examining General Land Office Survey Notes from 1854, establishing 12 transects through the mill pond, conducting...

This 1:24,000-scale map shows an inventory of debris flows that were triggered above timberline by a thunderstorm in the central Front Range of Colorado. We have classified the debris flows into two categories based on the style of initiation processes in the debris-flow source areas: 1) soil slip, and 2)...
