1980, Professional Paper 1064-B
The Pierre Shale and equivalent rocks of Late Cretaceous age consist in the east-central Dakotas of several hundred feet of offshore-marine shale and minor marl; in west-central Montana near the sediment source the equivalents of the Pierre Shale consist of several thousand feet of volcanic-rich and mostly nonmarine sediments; and...

Hydrogeology of the Seldovia area, Alaska
Gordon L. Nelson, Wesley R. Danskin
1980, Open-File Report 80-952
Surficial materials in the Seldovia area, Alaska, are mapped as glacial drift over sedimentary bedrock, glacial drift over igneous and metamorphic bedrock, valley-bottom, alluvium, alluvial fan deposits, beach and intertidal deposits, and peat. Unconsolidated materials are generally less than 10 feet thick except in well-drained glacial deposits along the Seldovia-Jakolof...

Quality of surface water in the coal-mining region, southwestern Indiana, March and May 1979
Danny E. Renn, Stephen E. Ragone, William G. Wilber
1980, Open-File Report 80-970
On August 3, 1977, the Surface Mine Control and Reclamation Act, Public Law 95-87 (the Act) was enacted by the 95th Congress. Under Section 507(b)(11) of the Act, an appropriate Federal or State agency must provide applicants for coal-mining permits hydrologic and water-quality information for the general use of proposed...

1980, Open-File Report 80-360
The State/Federal Beaufort Sea lease sale in December 1979 attracted over one billion dollars in bids. Tracts with the highest bids, and apparently with the highest oil potential, lie in the area south of Dinkum Sands, and within a three-mile radius of the shoal (Fig. 1). Jurisdiction over the tracts...

Field studies of borehole gamma-ray spectrometer methods for mineral exploration; a selected bibliography
Frank E. Senftle
1980, Open-File Report 80-503
A finite-difference digital model was developed to simulate the effects of a proposed well field on the water levels in existing wells in the Salt River Indian Reservation, which is in the southeastern part of Paradise Valley in central Arizona. The model area includes about 600 square miles in Paradise...

Digital-computer model of ground-water flow in Tooele Valley, Utah
Allan C. Razem, Scott D. Bartholoma
1980, Open-File Report 80-446
A two-dimensional, finite-difference digital-computer model was used to simulate the ground-water flow in the principal artesian aquifer in Tooele Valley, Utah. The parameters used in the model were obtained through field measurements and tests, from historical records, and by trial-and-error adjustments. The model was calibrated against observed water-level changes that...

1980, Open-File Report 80-914
Although the probability of a major earthquake in the central U.S. is only one-tenth of the Californian events, any such event is expected to result in damage ten times greater than that anticipated in California. The city of Memphis, which is situated very close to the inferred epicenter of one...
Preliminary report on the mineral resources of the Powderhorn Instant study area, Gunnison and Hinsdale counties, Colorado
William N. Sharp, R.A. Martin, Michael Lane
1980, Open-File Report 80-1057
The Powderhorn Instant Study Area covers approximately 51,000 acres of land under BLM administration located about 80 km (50 mi) southwest of Gunnison, Colorado. A mineral resource survey, made in 1979 by the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines, indicates that both the mineral potential and the...
Land-surface subsidence in the Texas coastal region
Karl W. Ratzlaff
1980, Open-File Report 80-969
Land-surface subsidence has been mapped in the Houston-Galveston area and is known to have occurred in other areas within the Texas coastal region. Most of the subsidence has been caused by both the withdrawal of ground water and by the production of oil, gas, and associated ground water. Land-surface subsidence was...

From the time the author-copy of Circular 789 (Hunt and others, 1979) was prepared until it first appeared in print, significant changes occurred in the Petrophysics Laboratory. To update that report, this open-file report will briefly summarize more recent acquisitions and facilities changes....
Effects of urbanization on the water quality of lakes in Eagan, Minnesota
M. A. Ayers, G. A. Payne, Mark A. Have
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-71
Water-quality characteristics of 17 lakes and ponds in the city of Eagan were described from data collected from 1972 through 1978. The data showed that differences in water quality between lakes were related to differences in the percentage of urbanization. However, water-quality variations within each lake were affected more by...
