ties. Although the NROK median total recoverable lead concentration was the smallest among the three Western study areas compared, concentrations in several NROK samples were an order of magnitude larger than the maximum concentrations measured in the Upper Colorado River and Great Salt Lake Basins. Dissolved cadmium, dissolved lead, and total recoverable zinc concentrations at NROK sites were...

William J. Stephenson, Robert A. Williams, Jack K. Odum, David M. Worley, Charles E. Barker, Arthur C. Clark, James G. Clough
2002, Open-File Report 2002-450
A reconnaissance shallow seismic reflection/refraction investigation in and around the city of Galena, Alaska suggests that Tertiary and/or Cretaceous bedrock, and possible coalbeds within the Cretaceous, is at least as deep as 550 feet in the immediate vicinity of town. Rock could be deeper than 1000 feet under alternate interpretations....

2002, Open-File Report 2002-451
Dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) are a pervasive and persistent category of groundwater contamination. In an effort to better understand their unique subsurface behavior, a controlled and carefully monitored injection of PCE (perchloroethylene), a typical DNAPL, was performed in conjunction with the University of Waterloo at Canadian Forces Base Borden...

2002, Open-File Report 2002-392
The Permian Phosphoria Formation of the western U.S. includes one of the largest phosphate deposits in the world. Despite the economic significance of this formation, its fine-grained nature has discouraged detailed mineralogical characterization and quantitative studies. Recently, selenium and other potentially hazardous trace elements in mine wastes have drawn increased attention to these rocks...
