Coal fields and federal lands of the conterminous United States
Laura Biewick
1997, Open-File Report 97-461
The map depicts the relationship of coal and public lands in the conterminous U. S. Multiple GIS layers are being created for the purpose of deriving estimates of how much coal is owned and administered by the Federal government. Federal coal areas have a profound effect on land-management decisions. Regulatory...

Flood of March 1997 in southern Ohio
K.S. Jackson, S.A. Vivian, F.J. Diam, C.J. Crecelius
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4149
Rainfall amounts of up to 12 inches produced by thunderstorms during March 1-2, 1997 resulted in severe flooding throughout much of southern Ohio. Eighteen counties were declared Federal and State disaster areas. Cost estimates of damage in Ohio from the flooding are nearly $180 million. About 6,500 residences and more...
Regional water table (1996) and water-level changes in the Mojave River, the Morongo, and the Fort Irwin ground-water basins, San Bernardino County, California
Gregory O. Mendez, Allen H. Christensen
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4160
The Mojave River, the Morongo, and the Fort Irwin ground-water basins lie in the southwestern part of the Mojave Desert Region of southern California. These basins supply ground water to local water districts, military bases, and private wells. The rapid growth in population in these basins,...

Eutrophication potential of Payette Lake, Idaho
Paul F. Woods
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4145
Payette Lake was studied during water years 1995-96 to determine the 20.5-square-kilometer lake's assimilative capacity for nutrients and, thus, its eutrophication potential. The study included quantification of hydrologic and nutrient budgets, characterization of water quality in the limnetic and littoral zones, development of an empirical nutrient load/lake response model, and...
Urbanization and recharge in the vicinity of East Meadow Brook, Nassau County, New York: Part 4 — Water quality in the headwaters area, 1988-93
C. J. Brown, M. P. Scorca, G. G. Stockar, Frederick Stumm, H. F. Ku
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 96-4289
Surface-water and ground-water quality in the East Meadow Brook headwaters area was monitored during 1988-93 to determine the effects of urban stormwater on water quality before, and for 1 year after, the construction of a stormwater-detention basin in 1992. Stormwater samples were collected from the stream during storms. Between storms,...

Herbicides in the Pecatonica and Yahara Rivers in Southwestern Wisconsin, May 1996-July 1996
David J. Graczyk, James P. Vanden Brook
1997, Fact Sheet 175-97
Herbicides, particularly those applied to corn, can be found in surface water and ground water in Wisconsin (Sullivan and Richards, 1996; Matzen and Saad, 1996). Wisconsin farmers applied 7.6 million pounds of corn herbicides during 1996. Because of public concern about the amount of herbicides applied to Wisconsin farm fields...
Comparison of the 2-, 25-, and 100-year recurrence interval floods computed from observed data with the 1995 urban flood-frequency estimating equations for Georgia
Ernest J. Inman
1997, Water-Resources Investigations Report 97-4118
Flood-frequency relations were computed for 28 urban stations, for 2-, 25-, and 100-year recurrence interval floods and the computations were compared to corresponding recurrence interval floods computed from the estimating equations from a 1995 investigation. Two stations were excluded from further comparisons or analyses because neither station had a significant...
Petroleum geology of the state of Washington
Samuel Y. Johnson, Marilyn E. Tennyson, William S. Lingley, Ben E. Law
1997, Professional Paper 1582
This report describes the potential petroleum resources of Washington State as recently summarized in the 1995 U.S. Geological Survey National Assessment of Oil and Gas Resources. Eight conventional petroleum plays, three coal-bed gas plays, and two continuous-type gas plays are defined and characterized. Of these plays, the potential for significant...

On the watch for geomagnetic storms
Arthur W. Green, William M. Brown III
1997, Fact Sheet 177-97
Geomagnetic storms, induced by solar activity, pose significant hazards to satellites, electrical power distribution systems, radio communications, navigation, and geophysical surveys. Strong storms can expose astronauts and crews of high-flying aircraft to dangerous levels of radiation. Economic losses from recent geomagnetic storms have run into hundreds of millions of dollars....
