Hydrogeomorphic Regions of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed: HGMR
John W. Brakebill, S.K. Kelley
2000, Open-File Report 2000-424
Generalized lithology (rock type) and physiography based on geologic formations were used to characterize hydrgeomorphic regions (HGMR) within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. These HGMRs were used in conjunction with existing data to assess the significance of ground-water discharge as a source of nitrate load to nontidal streams in the Chesapeake...

The USGS has collected and analyzed hydrologic...
Assessing biological effects from highway-runoff constituents
Denny R. Buckler, Gregory E. Granato
1999, Open-File Report 99-240
Increased emphasis on evaluation of nonpoint-source pollution has intensified the need for techniques that can be used to discern the toxicological effects of complex chemical mixtures. In response, the use of biological assessment techniques is receiving increased regulatory emphasis. When applied with documented habitat assessment and chemical analysis, these techniques...
