1982, Open-File Report 82-755
Rockland basin comprises about 320 sq mi of the Snake River drainage in southeastern Idaho. Mountain ranges bordering the basin are composed predominantly of limestone and are complexly faulted. Major aquifers include Holocene alluvium, Quaternary-Tertiary volcanic rocks, and Tertiary sedimentary rocks. Groundwater occurs under water table conditions except where it...
Plan for hydrologic study of an area to be surface mined for coal in northwestern Colorado
Robert S. Williams, Nancy E. Driver
1982, Open-File Report 82-874
A data-collection network was established in 1980 in northwestern Colorado in a drainage basin which may be surface mined for coal. This report describes the work plan set up to study the premining hydrology of this area near Steamboat Springs, Routt County, Colorado. The bedrock, alluvial, and surface-water systems as...

Surface displacement on the Imperial and Superstition Hills faults triggered by the Westmorland, California, earthquake of 26 April 1981
R. V. Sharp, J. J. Lienkaemper, M. J. Rymer
1982, Open-File Report 82-282
Parts of the Imperial and the Superstition Hills faults moved right-laterally at the ground surface at the time of or shortly following the ML 5.6 Westmorland earthquake of 26 April 1981. The displacements occurred prior to any significant aftershocks on either fault and thus are classed as sympathetic. Although the...

Installation and sampling of observation wells and analyses of water from the shallow aquifer at selected waste-disposal sites in the Memphis area, Tennessee
W. S. Parks, D. D. Graham, J.F. Lowery
1982, Open-File Report 82-266
Observation wells were installed and sampled at six abandoned waste-disposal sites in the Memphis area that have been identified as having received unknown quantities and types of industrial waste. Ten wells were installed adjacent to and downgradient from these sites in the shallow water-table aquifer. Water samples were collected from...

Comparison of automated satellite systems with conventional systems for hydrologic data collection in west-central Florida
W. M. Woodham
1982, Open-File Report 81-1180
This report provides results of reliability and cost-effective studies of the goes satellite data-collection system used to operate a small hydrologic data network in west-central Florida. The GOES system, in its present state of development, was found to be about as reliable as conventional methods of data collection. Benefits of...

Reconnaissance investigations of ancient gold mines in the northwestern part of the Al Aqiq Quadrangle, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
R. G. Worl
1982, Open-File Report 82-989
Four groups of ancient gold mines were investigated in the northwestern part of the Al Aqiq quadrangle, sheet 20/41 D, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Those in the Aqiq Ghamid area are the largest and the most numerous. The other three groups each consist of a few small workings. All of...
Reconnaissance investigations of ancient gold mines in the southern part of the Wadi Bidah District, Jabal Ibrahim and Al Aqiq quadrangles, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

1982, Open-File Report 82-789
Ancient gold mines in the southern part of the Wadi Bidah district, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, are located either within lenses of ferruginous chert or in large felsic intrusions of Precambrian age. All are associated with quartz veins, stringers, and stockworks. Samples from both types of deposits have low silver...

Guidelines and techniques for obtaining water samples that accurately represent the water chemistry of an aquifer
Hans C. Claassen
1982, Open-File Report 82-1024
Obtaining ground-water samples that accurately represent the water chemistry of an aquifer is a complex task. Before a ground-water sampling program can be started, an understanding of the kind of chemical data needed and the potential changes in water chemistry resulting from various drilling, well-completion, and sampling techniques is needed....
