Estimates of consumptive use and ground-water return flow and the effect of rising and sustained high river stage on the method of estimation in Cibola Valley, Arizona and California, 1983 and 1984
Sandra J. Owen-Joyce
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4194
In Cibola Valley, Arizona, water is pumped from the Colorado River to irrigate crops and to maintain wildlife habitat. Unused water percolates to the water table and, as groundwater, moves downgradient into areas of phreatophytes, into a drainage ditch, out of the flood plain, and back to the river. In...
Geochemistry of batch-extract waters derived from spoil material collected at the Cordero coal mine, Powder River basin, Wyoming
D. L. Naftz
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4200
Batch-mixing experiments to evaluate postmining water quality at the Cordero Mine were conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey during 1984 to 1985. Contact of groundwater from the spoil aquifer with fresh spoil material caused only small changes in major-element concentrations and in pH, unless sulfide oxidation or contact with soluble...

Long-term effects of surface coal mining on ground-water levels and quality in two small watersheds in eastern Ohio
W. L. Cunningham, R.L. Jones
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 90-4136
Two small watersheds in eastern Ohio that were surface mined for coal and reclaimed were studied during 1986-89. Water-level and water-quality data were compared with similar data collected during previous investigations conducted during 1976-83 to determine long-term effects of surface mining on the hydrologic system. Before mining, the watersheds were...
Safe disposal of radionuclides in low-level radioactive-waste repository sites; Low-level radioactive-waste disposal workshop, U.S. Geological Survey, July 11-16, 1987, Big Bear Lake, Calif., Proceedings
Marion S. Bedinger, Peter R. Stevens, editor(s)
1990, Circular 1036
In the United States, low-level radioactive waste is disposed by shallow-land burial. Low-level radioactive waste generated by non-Federal facilities has been buried at six commercially operated sites; low-level radioactive waste generated by Federal facilities has been buried at eight major and several minor Federally operated sites (fig. 1). Generally, low-level...
Coal resources of Upper Cretaceous Fruitland Formation in the Southern Ute Indian Reservation, southwestern Colorado
Dorothy T. Sandberg
1990, Professional Paper 1505-D
Coal resources of the Upper Cretaceous Fruitland Formation in the Southern Ute Indian Reservation are estimated to total 16 billion short tons of bituminous coal in beds 2 feet thick or more. The coal-bearing Fruitland Formation underlies about 700 square miles of the Southern Ute Indian Reservation and crops out...
Hydrogeology of aquifers in Cretaceous and younger rocks in the vicinity of Onslow and southern Jones counties, North Carolina
W.L. Lyke, M. D. Winner Jr.
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 89-4128
Unconsolidated sediments in Onslow and Jones Counties, North Carolina overlie crystalline basement rocks and range in thickness from about 700 ft to more than 1,800 ft, thickening toward the east. This material is composed of permeable sand and limestone interlayered with relatively impermeable clay and silt beds. Sediments are divided...
Coal resources available for development; a methodology and pilot study
Jane R. Eggleston, M. Devereux Carter, James C. Cobb
1990, Circular 1055
Coal accounts for a major portion of our Nation's energy supply in projections for the future. A demonstrated reserve base of more than 475 billion short tons, as the Department of Energy currently estimates, indicates that, on the basis of today's rate of consumption, the United States has enough coal...
Major geohydrologic units in and adjacent to the Ozark Plateaus province, Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and Oklahoma
Jeffrey L. Imes
1990, Hydrologic Atlas 711-A
An investigation of the geohydrologic system in the Ozark Plateaus province (index map and Fenneman, 1938) has been made as part of the Central Midwest Regional Aquifer System Analysis (Jorgensen and Signor, 1981), a major study of the regional aquifer system in parts of 10 States. The study is one...
The Alaska Mineral Resource Assessment Program: Background information to accompany folio of geologic and resource maps of the Ugashik, Bristol Bay, and western part of Karluk quadrangles, Alaska

1990, Circular 1046
The Ugashik, Bristol Bay, and western part of Karluk quadrangles (1:250,000) are a part of the Alaska Peninsula in southwestern Alaska. This circular, in conjunction with a companion folio of MF-series maps, two I-series geologic maps, and three bulletins, represents the results of integrated field and laboratory studies on the...
The Coalinga, California, earthquake of May 2, 1983
Michael J. Rymer, William L. Ellsworth, editor(s)
1990, Professional Paper 1487
At 2342 G.m.t. May 2, 1983, a magnitude (ML) 6.7 earthquake occurred about 12 km northeast of the town of Coalinga, approximately halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. The shock was felt from Los Angeles to 200 km north of Sacramento and as far east as Las Vegas. Unlike...

Hydrogeology and ground-water-quality conditions at the Emporia- Lyon County Landfill, eastern Kansas, 1988
N. C. Myers, P. R. Bigsby
1990, Water-Resources Investigations Report 90-4043
Hydrogeology and water-quality conditions at the Emporia-Lyon County Landfill, eastern Kansas, were investigated from April 1988 through April 1989. Potentiometric-surface maps indicated groundwater movement from the northeast and northwest towards the landfill and then south through the landfill to the Cottonwood River. The maps indicate that during periods of low...
