Organic compounds in ground water near a sanitary landfill in the Town of Brookhaven, Long Island, New York
K.A. Pearsall, E. J. Wexler
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4218
Landfill leachate and groundwater near the Brookhaven landfill site were analyzed for volatile, acid-extractable, and base/neutral-extractable organic compounds classified by EPA as ' priority pollutants, ' and for dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and inorganic constituents. Thirteen priority pollutants were detected, including benzene, chlorobenzene, ethyl benzene, and naphthalene. The most commonly...
Progress report on the effects of highway construction on suspended-sediment discharge in the Coal River and Trace Fork, West Virginia, 1975-81
S. C. Downs, David H. Appel
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4275
Construction of the four-lane Appalachian Corridon G highway disturbed about 2 sq mi in the Coal River and 0.35 sq mi of the 4.75 sq mi Trace Fork basin in southern West Virginia. Construction had a negligible effect on runoff and suspended-sediment load in the Coal River and its major...
Investigation of the need for discharge adjustments for unsteady flow at selected gaging stations on streams in Tennessee
B.L. Neely, R.H. Bingham
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4144
Measured discharges made during rising or falling stages generally require adjustments to refine constant-stage rating curves (stage-discharge relations) for gaged sites. Measurements at 42 gaging stations on Tennessee streams were selected for adjustment. Two methods, generally accepted by the U.S. Geological Survey, were tested: (1) the slope method adjusts the...
Temperature of ground water at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1979- 1981
Gary N. Paulachok
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4189
Anthropogenic heat production has undoubtedly caused increased ground-water temperatures in many parts of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as shown by temperatures of 98 samples and logs of 40 wells measured during 1979-81. Most sample temperatures were higher than 12.6 degrees Celsius (the local mean annual air temperature), and many logs depict cooling...
Potential for leakage among principal aquifers in the Memphis area, Tennessee
D. D. Graham, W. S. Parks
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4295
The principal aquifers in the Memphis area consist primarily of sand or sand and gravel, and the confining beds consist of clay, silt, sand, and lignite. The Jackson Formation and upper part of the Claiborne Group serve as the confining bed separating the water table aquifers from the Memphis Sand;...
Water quality in the St Croix National Scenic Riverway, Wisconsin
D.J. Graczyk
1986, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4319
The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a water-quality study of the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. This report documents the water quality during the period 1975-83. The water quality is good for most uses and is a calcium bicarbonate type. Concentrations of most constituents analyzed were less than most sites in...
Flood of April 5-7, 1984, in northeastern New Jersey
Mark O. Philips, Robert D. Schopp
1986, Open-File Report 86-423-W
This report documents hydrologic and meteorologic aspects of flooding in northeastern New Jersey and nearby New York during April 5-7, 1984. Recorded rainfall varied from 2 inches to slightly more than 8 inches within the study area. Peak stages and discharges at 46 streamflow-gaging sites are tabulated and compared to...
Multichannel seismic-reflection data collected in 1980 in the eastern Chukchi Sea
Arthur Grantz, Dennis M. Mann, Steven D. May
1986, Open-File Report 86-405
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected approximately 2,652 km of 24-channel seismic-reflection data in early September, 1980, over the continental shelf in the eastern Chukchi Sea (Fig. 1). The profiles were collected on the USGS Research Vessel S.P. Lee. The seismic energy source consisted of a tuned array of five...
Quaternary geologic map of the Florida Keys 4° x 6° quadrangle, United States
Michael S. Knapp, David L. Weide, Gerald Martin Richmond, David S. Fullerton
Gerald M. Richmond, editor(s)
1986, IMAP 1420(NG-17)
This map is part of the Quaternary Geologic Atlas of the United States (I-1420). It was first published as a printed edition in 1986. The geologic data have now been captured digitally and are presented here along with images of the printed map sheet and component parts as PDF files.The...
Hydrogeologic framework and properties of regional aquifers in the Hollandale Embayment, southeastern Minnesota
D. G. Woodward
1986, Hydrologic Atlas 677
In 1977, the U.S. Geological Survey began a series of investigations of regional aquifer systems in the United States. These studies will provide quantitative information for use in developing and managing regional ground-water supplies. One of these studies, the Northern Midwest Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) project, concerns the Cambrian and...
