1982, Open-File Report 81-1011
From May through November 1978, water quality, geologic, and hydrologic data were collected for 108 wells in the Lemhi, Pahsimeroi, Salman River (Stanley to Salmon), Big Lost River, and Little Lost River valleys in east-central Idaho. Data were assembled to define, on a reconnaissance level, water-quality conditions in major aquifers...

Documentation and user's guide for interactive spectral analysis and filter program package useful in the processing of seismic reflection data
J. J. Miller
1982, Open-File Report 82-744
The spectral analysis and filter program package is written in the BASIC language for the HP-9845T desktop computer. The program's main purpose is to perform spectral analyses on digitized time-domain data. In addition, band-pass filtering of the data can be performed in the time domain. Various other processes such as...
Disturbed zones: Indicators of deep-seated subsurface faults in the Valley and Ridge and Appalachian structural front of Pennsylvania
Howard A. Pohn, Terri L. Purdy
1982, Open-File Report 82-967
Field studies of geologic structures in the Valley and Ridge and adjacent parts of the Appalachian Plateau provinces in Pennsylvania have shown a new type of structure, formerly poorly understood and frequently unmapped, is a significant indicator of deep-seated subsurface faulting. These structures, herein called disturbed zones, are formed by...
A regional assessment of potential environmental hazards to and limitations on petroleum development of the Southeastern United States Atlantic continental shelf, slope, and rise, offshore North Carolina
Peter Popenoe, E. L. Coward, K. V. Cashman
1982, Open-File Report 82-136
More than 11,000 km of high-resolution seismic-reflection data, 325 km of mid-range sidescan-sonar data, and 500 km of long-range sidescan-sonar data were examined and used to construct an environmental geology map of the Continental Shelf, Slope, and Rise for the area of the U.S. Atlantic margin between lats. 32?N. and...

Water resources of the Ochlockonee River area, northwest Florida
Charles A. Pascale, Jeffry R. Wagner
1982, Open-File Report 81-1121
The Ochlockonee River area comprises about 1,420 square miles in the panhandle of northwest Florida. In 1975, the population of the area was about 48,000. Water use averaged 11.4 million gallons per day; about half was pumped from wells and half from streams.The area receives 57 inches of precipitation per...
COASTAL*FISH user's guide--a finfish/shellfish information base for Mississippi Sound and Mobile Bay
B. Jones, N. Benson
1982, FWS/OBS 82/12
COASTAL *FISH is a computerized database that includes current information on spawning, nursery areas, migrations, distribution, and environmental requirements of finfish and shellfish. This User's Guide was prepared to access and query the finfish and shell fish database. It provides basic information required to query the database....
Streamflows and channels of the Green River basin, Wyoming
H. W. Lowham
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 81-71
Width, depth, cross-sectional area, and velocity of streamflow were depicted for 51 gaged sites in or near the Green River basin of Wyoming by summarizing data obtained from current-meter discharge measurements. Using these at-a-station relations as a base, regional relations were then developed that characterize hydraulic features of streams throughout...
Three-dimensional modeling of the Nevada Test Site and vicinity from teleseismic P-wave residuals
Mary E. Monfort, John R. Evans
1982, Open-File Report 82-409
A teleseismic P-wave travel-time residual study is described which reveals the regional compressional-velocity structure of southern Nevada and neighboring parts of California to a depth of 280 km. During 1980, 98 teleseismic events were recorded at as many as 53 sites in this area. P-wave residuals were calculated relative to...

Quality of runoff from small watersheds in the Twin Cities metropolitan area, Minnesota: Hydrologic data for 1980
G. A. Payne, M. A. Ayers, R. G. Brown
1982, Open-File Report 82-504
An intensive study of nonpoint-source runoff was conducted in the Twin Cities metropolitan area in Minnesota during 1980. The purpose of the study was to determine the relationships between land use, watershed characteristics, and the quantity, quality, and timing of runoff. Discharge and water-quality data were collected at 19 sites located...
Knik Glacier, Alaska; summary of 1979, 1980, and 1981 data and introduction of new surveying techniques
L.R. Mayo, D.C. Trabant
1982, Open-File Report 82-685
Knik Glacier in south-central Alaska has the potential to reform Lake George, Alaska 's largest glacier-dammed lake. Measurements of surface altitude, snow depth, terminus position, glacier speed, and ice depth are being made in an attempt to determine the mechanisms that could cause a significant re-advance of the glacier. New...
