L. M. Nelson
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4083
Elevations and inundation areas of a 100-year flood of the Soleduck River, Washington, were determined by the U.S. Geological Survey for the area in the vicinity of the Sol Duc Hot Springs resort, a public facility in the Olympic National Park that under Federal law must be located beyond or...
Electrical and magnetic properties of rock and soil
J. H. Scott
1983, Open-File Report 83-915
Field and laboratory measurements have been made to determine the electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and magnetic permeability of rock and soil in areas of interest in studies of electromagnetic pulse propagation. Conductivity is determined by making field measurements of apparent resisitivity at very low frequencies (0-20 cps), and interpreting the...

January 1983 water levels, and data related to water-level changes, western and south-central Kansas
Marilyn E. Pabst
1983, Open-File Report 83-762
Water-level measurements were made, mostly in January 1983, in about 1,540 wells in western and south-central Kansas. The measurements were made in mid-winter when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered, for the most part, from the effects of pumping during the previous irrigation season. Annual hydrologic data are...
Effect of the proposed Cooper River rediversion on sedimentation in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina
G. G. Patterson
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4198
The rates of sedimentation and of resultant maintenance dredging in Charleston Harbor increased dramatically in the 1940s, following two major modifications to the harbor. One modification, the Santee-Cooper diversion project, caused a twentyfold increase in freshwater inflow to the harbor. The other modification was deepening of the navigation channels in...
Reservoir-development impacts on surface-water quantity and quality in the Yampa River basin, Colorado and Wyoming
D. Briane Adams, Daniel P. Bauer, Robert H. Dale, Timothy Doak Steele
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-30
Development of coal resources and associated economy is accelerating in the Yampa River basin in northwestern Colorado and south-central Wyoming. Increased use of the water resources of the area will have a direct impact on their quantity and quality. As part of 18 surface-water projects, 35 reservoirs have been proposed...
Magnitude and frequency of flooding on small urban watersheds in the Tampa Bay area, west-central Florida
M. A. Lopez, W. M. Woodham
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-42
Hydrologic data collected on nine small urban watersheds in the Tampa Bay area of west-central Florida and a method for estimating peak discharges in the study area are described. The watersheds have mixed land use and range in size from 0.34 to 3.45 square miles. Watershed soils, land use, and...

Evaluation of the effects of Lake Audubon on ground- and surface-water levels in the Lake Nettie area, eastern McLean County, North Dakota
C. A. Armstrong
1983, Water-Resources Investigations Report 83-4242
Water logging and flooding of some roads and agricultural lands have become a problem in the Lake Nettie area of eastern McLean County. Part of the flooding is caused by the raising of Lake Audubon about 13 feet from an elevation of about 1,835 feet to 1,848 feet and its...
Strata-bound, silver-bearing iron, lead, and zinc sulfide deposits in Silurian and Ordovician rocks of allochthonous terranes, Nevada and northern Mexico
Keith Brindley Ketner
1983, Open-File Report 83-792
Allochthonous terranes in northern Nevada contain strata-bound sulfide deposits at two horizons in Silurian and Ordovician siliceous sedimentary rocks. The most intensively mineralized horizon and most extensive deposit is at the base of the Silurian. Another less extensive deposit is in the lower Middle Ordovician. Spectrographic analyses of gossan from...

Ground-water data for Michigan 1982
G.C. Huffman
1983, Open-File Report 83-753
Water levels, locations, depths, and aquifers tapped are given for 117 observation wells. Tabulated data include extremes of water levels for 1982 and for the period of record, pumpage of most major ground-water users in the State, and quality data on selected wells. The largest reported user of ground-water, the...
Rock property measurements and analysis of selected igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks from worldwide localities
Gordon R. Johnson
1983, Open-File Report 83-736
Dry bulk density and grain density measurements were made on 182 samples of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks from various world-wide localities. Total porosity values and both water-accessible and helium-accessible porosities were calculated from the density data. Magnetic susceptibility measurements were made on the solid samples and permeability and streaming...

Sketches of a hammer-impact, spiked-base, shear-wave source
W.P. Hasbrouck
1983, Open-File Report 83-917
Generation of shear waves in shallow seismic investigations (those to depths usually less than 100 m) can be accomplished by horizontally striking with a hammer either the end of a wood plank or metal structure embedded at the ground surface. The dimensioned sketches of this report are of a steel,...

Since 1973, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), with support from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, has conducted extensive investigations of the tectonic and seismic history of the Charleston, S.C., earthquake zone and surrounding areas. The goal of these investigations has been to discover the cause of the large intraplate Charleston earthquake...
Hydrology of the Jasper (Miocene) Aquifer in the Southeast Texas coastal plain
E.T. Baker
1983, Open-File Report 83-677
The Jasper (Miocene) aquifer is one of several important hydrologic units in the Gulf Coastal Plain. Because the Jasper aquifer underlies shallower aquifers in many areas, regional water withdrawals from the Jasper are not significant; however, it is capable of yielding 3,000 gallons per minute (200 liters per second) or...
