Petrogenetic modeling of a potential uranium source rock, Granite Mountains, Wyoming
J. S. Stuckless, A.T. Miesch
1981, Professional Paper 1225
Previous studies of the granite of Lankin Dome have led to the conclusion that this granite was a source for the sandstone-type uranium deposits in the basins that surround the Granite Mountains, Wyo. Q-mode factor analysis of 29 samples of this granite shows that five bulk compositions are required to...

Map showing the potentiometric surface of the Magothy aquifer in southern Maryland, August 1980
Frederick K. Mack, Judith C. Wheeler, Stephen E. Curtin
1981, Open-File Report 81-633
This map is based on measurements made in a network of 77 observation wells. Highest levels of the potentiometric surface, 61 to 64 feet above sea level, were near the outcrop or subcrop of the aquifer in topographically high areas of Anne Arundel and northern Prince Georges Counties. The potentiometric...
An analysis of reservoir storage contents for the proposed enlargement of Bumping Lake in Washington
John H. Bartells
1981, Open-File Report 80-440
Monthend contents of the proposed Bumping Lake enlargement in Washington were determined for the period 1917-73 by using the historic streamflow record as a basis for inflow to the reservoir and imposing certain operational requirements on reservoir releases. The operational requirements used were those set forth in the Environmental Statement...
The Nature and Use of Copper Reserve and Resource Data
Dennis P. Cox, Nancy A. Wright, George J. Coakley
1981, Professional Paper 907-F
Copper reserve, resource, and production data can be combined to produce disaggregated resource estimates and trends and, when combined with demand forecasts, can be used to predict future exploration and development requirements. Reserve estimates are subject to uncertainties due mainly to incomplete exploration and rapidly changing economic conditions. United States' reserve...

Evapotranspiration from rapidly growing young saltcedar in the Gila River Valley of Arizona
O.E. Leppanen
1981, Open-File Report 81-485
Estimates of evapotranspiration by young saltcedar, based on energy budget measurements, were made for an unfilled portion of the San Carlos Reservoir in east-central Arizona. Foty-eight days of record were obtained before the site was inundated. The young saltcedar, which had grown from seed earlier in the season , had...

Geologic factors pertinent to the proposed A. J. Wiley Hydroelectric Project No. 2845, Bliss, Idaho
Harold E. Malde
1981, Open-File Report 81-569
The A.J. Wiley Hydroelectric Project is a proposal by the Idaho Power Company to develop hydroelectricity near Bliss, Idaho, by building a dam on the Snake River (fig. 1). The proposed dam would impound a narrow reservoir as deep as 85 feet in a free-flowing reach of the river that...
Measured sections of the Browns Park Formation (Miocene) in Moffat County, Colorado, 1980
Stanley J. Luft, William L. Thoen
1981, Open-File Report 81-171
Eight partial sections of the Browns Park Formation of Miocene age were measured in Moffat County, northwestern Colorado, during the 1980 field season, as part of a study of the stratigraphy and depositional environments of the formation. These newly measured sections are intended to complement other surface sections of the...

Floods of September 16, 1975 in the Tallaboa Valley, Puerto Rico
Karl G. Johnson
1981, Open-File Report 80-1283
This report provides a record of the flood of September 16, 1975, and associated hydrologic data. These data can be used in making rational decisions in formulating effective flood-plain regulations that would minimize flood problems in the Tallaboa Valley.The Tallaboa Valley (fig. 1) lies on the southwestern coast of Puerto...

1981, Open-File Report 81-404
Water needs of the population of Indian Wells Valley, Calif., must be met through further development of ground-water resources. Studies show that annual ground-water pumpage there has increased since 1945 and has exceeded mean annual recharge since 1966. Continued and increased stress on the aquifer system of the valley is...
