Determination of upstream boundary points on southeastern Washington streams and rivers under the requirements of the Shoreline Management Act of 1971
Johnna L. Higgins
2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4042
Regulation of the shorelines of the State of Washington, as mandated by the Shoreline Management Act of 1971, requires knowledge of the locations on streams and river reaches where specific regulatory criteria are satisfied. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a study in 1971 to determine the upstream boundary points of...
Four models used for numerical simulation of a borehole radar antenna
Karl J. Ellefsen, David L. Wright
2003, Open-File Report 2003-155
In this report are four different models that represent an antenna used by personnel at the U.S. Geological Survey for crosswell investigations. The four models vary in complexity and concomitantly the accuracy with which they represent the actual antenna. These models are used in numerical simulations of the antenna to...
Descriptions of mineral occurrences and interpretation of mineralized rock geochemical data in the Stikine geophysical survey area, Southeastern Alaska

2003, Circular 1242
This is the plan to coordinate domestic and foreign post-earthquake investigations supported by the National Earthquake Hazards Reduction Program (NEHRP). The plan addresses coordination of both the NEHRP agencies—Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Science Foundation (NSF), and U. S. Geological Survey (USGS)—and...
Bacterial contamination at Huntington Beach, California — Is it from a local offshore wastewater outfall?
Jingping Xu, Marlene Noble, Leslie Rosenfeld, John Largier, Peter Hamilton, Burt Jones, James W. Hendley II, Peter H. Stauffer
2003, Fact Sheet 024-03
During the summers of 1999 and 2000, beaches at Huntington Beach, California, were repeatedly closed to swimming because of high bacteria levels in the surf zone. The city’s beaches are a major recreational and commercial resource, normally attracting millions of visitors each summer. One possible source of the bacterial contamination...
Data and methods of a 1999-2000 street sweeping study on an urban freeway in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin
Robert J. Waschbusch
2003, Open-File Report 2003-93
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation is required to control the quality of runoff from roadways under their control as part of the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System. One way to control roadway runoff is to use street sweeping to remove pollutants before they are entrained in runoff. This may be...

Karynna Calderon, Shawn V. Dadisman, James G. Flocks, Dana S. Wiese
2003, Open-File Report 2003-88
In April and May of 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a geophysical study of the Mississippi River Delta, Atchafalaya River Delta, and Shell Island Pass in southern Louisiana. This study was part of a larger USGS River Contaminant Evaluation (RCE) Project. This disc serves as an archive of unprocessed...
Comparison of temperature, specific conductance, pH, and dissolved oxygen at selected basic fixed sites in south-central Texas, 1996-98
Patricia B. Ging, Cassi L. Otero
2003, Open-File Report 2003-87
One component of the surface-water part of the U.S. Geological Survey National Water-Quality Assessment Program is the use of continuous water-quality monitors to help characterize the spatial and temporal distribution of general water quality in relation to hydrologic conditions. During 1996-98, six continuous water-quality monitors in the South-Central Texas study...

Java Programs for Using Newmark's Method and Simplified Decoupled Analysis to Model Slope Performance During Earthquakes
Randall W. Jibson, Matthew W. Jibson
2003, Open-File Report 2003-5
Landslides typically cause a large proportion of earthquake damage, and the ability to predict slope performance during earthquakes is important for many types of seismic-hazard analysis and for the design of engineered slopes. Newmark's method for modeling a landslide as a rigid-plastic block sliding on an inclined plane provides a...
