Determination of geohydrologic framework and extent of d- water contamination using surface geophysical techniques at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey
Pierre Lacombe
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4051
Seismic-refraction, electric-resistivity sounding, and electromagnetic conductivity techniques were used to determine the geohydrologic framework and extent of groundwater contamination at Picatinny Arsenal in northern New Jersey. The area studied encompasses about 4 sq mi at the southern end of the Arsenal. The bedrock surface beneath the glacial sediments was delineated...
Flow testing of the Newberry 2 research drillhole, Newberry volcano, Oregon

1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4133
A 20 hour flow test of the Newberry 2 research drillhole at Newberry Volcano produced about 33,000 kilograms of fluid. The flow rate declined from about 0.8 kilograms per sec to less than 0.3 kilograms per sec during the course of the test. The mass ratio of liquid water to...
Preliminary delineation and description of the regional aquifers of Tennessee: Basal sandstone west of the Valley and Ridge Province
J. V. Brahana, Mike Bradley, Jo Ann Macy, Dolores Mulderink
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-762
The basal sandstone is a poorly sorted, well indurated sandstone, which lies below the Conasauga Group and above the Precambrian crystalline rocks. It is an unknown resource defined by limited data, with only 14 data points (wells) for the entire State of Tennessee. The basal sandstone is thought to occur...
Occurrence of dissolved sodium in ground waters in basalts underlying the Columbia Plateau, Washington
Gilbert C. Bortleson, S.E. Cox
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4005
Basalt aquifers of the Columbia River Basalt Group are a principal source of water for agricultural, domestic, and municipal use. Concern has been expressed in this agriculture-dependent region about problems associated with the use of groundwaters with a high sodium concentration relative to the calcium and magnesium content (high sodium-adsorption...

Preliminary delineation and description of the regional aquifers of Tennessee: Cumberland Plateau aquifer system
J. V. Brahana, Jo Ann Macy, Dolores Mulderink, Dawn Zemo
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-338
The Cumberland Plateau aquifer system consists of Pennsylvanian sandstones, conglomerates, shales, and coals which underlie the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee. Major water-bearing zones occur within the sandstones and conglomerates in interconnected fractures. The water-bearing formations are separated by shale and siltstone that retard the vertical circulation of ground water. The...
Preliminary delineation and description of the regional aquifers of Tennessee: the East Tennessee aquifer system
J. V. Brahana, Dolores Mulderink, J. A. Macy, M. W. Bradley
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4091
The east Tennessee aquifer system occurs in the Valley and Ridge and the Blue Ridge provinces of Tennessee. These areas are underlain by rocks of Precambrian to Pennsylvanian age which have been structurally deformed and faulted during the Appalachian orogeny. Groundwater in the Valley and Ridge occurs primarily in solution...

1986, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1829
The Federal Land Policy and Management Act (Public Law 94-579, October 21, 1976) requires the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines to conduct mineral surveys on certain areas to determine their mineral values, if any, that may be present. Results must be made available to the public...
Review of the hydrologic data-collection network in the St. Joseph River basin, Indiana
E. J. Crompton, J. G. Peters, R. L. Miller, J. A. Stewart, K. J. Banaszak, R. J. Shedlock
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 86-4157
The St. Joseph River Basin data-collection network in the St. Joseph River for streamflow, lake, ground water, and climatic stations was reviewed. The network review included only the 1700 sq mi part of the basin in Indiana. The streamflow network includes 11 continuous-record gaging stations and one partial-record station. Based...
Structure contour map of the tops of the Kreyenhagen Formation and Cretaceous strata in the Coalinga area, Fresno and Kings counties, California
J.L. Zigler, C. M. Wentworth, J. A. Bartow
1986, Miscellaneous Field Studies Map 1843
This structure contour map, originally compiled during a study of the 1983 Coalinga earthquakes, shows the general structural configuration of the upper several kilometers of section in the Coalinga area. It was compiled by using electric well-log data available through April 1982 (Ammann Map Services, 1978; Petroleum Information Corporation, 1982;...

Geohydrology of bedrock aquifers in the Northern Great Plains in parts of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wyoming
J. S. Downey
1986, Professional Paper 1402-E
Rocks of Paleozoic and Mesozoic age underlie the entire northern Great Plains of the United States. These rocks form 5 artesian aquifer systems that are recharged in the mountainous areas of Montana, South Dakota, and Wyoming and extend more than 600 miles to discharge areas in the northeastern part of...

Floods of June-July 1982, in Iowa
A.J. Heinitz
1986, Open-File Report 85-151
Record flood-peak discharges occurred in June and July, 1982, in southwestern, south-central, and east-central Iowa. The record flood peaks resulted from rainfalls of 6 to 8 inches on soil saturated from persistent moderate to heavy rainfalls that began in May and continued through mid July. May was the wettest across Iowa...
