Revision of middle Proterozoic Yellowjacket Formation, central Idaho, and revision of Cretaceous Slim Sam Formation, Elkhorn Mountains area, Montana
Russell G. Tysdal
2000, Professional Paper 1601-A,B
The Yellowjacket Formation is restricted to the strata originally assigned to it by Ross (1934). The Yellowjacket, the conformably overlying Hoodoo Quartzite, and succeeding unnamed argillaceous quartzite unit form a genetically related sequence that lies in a structural block delimited on the northeast by the Iron Lake fault. Directly northeast...
Geohydrology of the shallow aquifers in the Fort Lupton-Gilcrest area, Colorado
Stanley G. Robson, Janet S. Heiny, L. R. Arnold
2000, Hydrologic Atlas 746-C
Urban areas commonly rely on ground water for at least part of the municipal water supply, and as population increases, urban areas expand and require larger volumes of water. However, the expansion of an urban area can reduce ground-water availability. This may occur through processes of depletion (withdrawal of most...

Identifying wells downstream from Laguna Dam that yield water that will be replaced by water from the Colorado River, Arizona and California
Sandra J. Owen-Joyce
2000, Fact Sheet 125-00
This report summarizes a comprehensive study and development of the method documented in Owen-Joyce and others (2000). That report and one for the area upstream from Laguna Dam (Wilson and Owen-Joyce, 1994) document the accounting-surface method to identify wells that yield water that will be replaced by water from the...
What makes a healthy environment for native freshwater mussels?
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
2000, Fact Sheet 124-00
Freshwater mussels are sensitive to contamination of sediment that they inhabit and to the water that they filter, making the presence of live, adult mussels an excellent indicator of ecosystem health and stability. Freshwater mussels are relatively immobile, imbedded in the streambed with part of the shell sticking up into...

2000, Open-File Report 99-227
Daily suspended-sediment concentrations were analyzed from the St. Francis River at St. Francis, Arkansas during 1986 through 1995. Suspended-sediment particle size distribution was measured in selected samples from 1978 through 1998. These data are used to assess changes in suspended-sediment concentrations and loads through time. Suspended-sediment concentrations were positively related...
