Raymond E. Miller, D.M. Schultz, H. Lerch, D. Ligon, D. Owings, C. Gary
1979, Open-File Report 79-363
Concentration levels of hydrocarbon in 122 composite mid-Atlantic shelf surface sediment samples have been examined during the second year (1976-1977) of the Bureau of Land Management environmental assessment program. The objective of this study was to establish baseline concentrations and provide data for the "natural variability" curve for the mid-Atlantic...

Floods of December 1978 in Kentucky
J.N. Sullavan, F. Quinones, Richard Foster Flint
1979, Open-File Report 79-977
In 1978, severe flooding throughout the State of Kentucky occurred from December 3-10 as a result of intense precipitation from two storms. The storms of December 3-5 and December 7-10 produced record peak discharges in several areas throughout central and eastern Kentucky, resulting in damages of nearly 50 million dollars...

Data compilation of periphyton colonized on artificial substrates placed in the Sacramento and Feather rivers, California, 1975
Linda J. Britton, Rodger F. Ferreira
1979, Open-File Report 79-696
Periphyton was collected from artificial substrates placed in the Sacramento and Feather rivers, California, and analyzed to determine the rate of colonization and succession of periphyton types with time. Samples for determination of water-quality characteristics, especially suspended-sediment concentrations, that might have a direct effect on the growth of periphyton were...

Comprehensive monitoring of meteorology, hydraulics, and thermal regime of the San Diego Aqueduct, California
Harvey E. Jobson, Alex M. Sturrock
1979, Professional Paper 1137
Water temperature, as well as meteorologic and hydraulic variables which influence the energy budget of the San Diego Aqueduct in southern California, were continuously monitored for a 1-year period beginning July 24, 1973. Incoming solar and atmospheric radiation, windspeed and direction, water temperature, and wet- and dry-bulb air temperatures were...
Modeling highly transient flow, mass, and heat transport in the Chattahoochee River near Atlanta, Georgia
Harvey E. Jobson, Thomas N. Keefer
1979, Professional Paper 1136
A coupled flow-temperature model has been developed and verified for a 27.9-km reach of the Chattahoochee River between Buford Dam and Norcross, Ga. Flow in this reach of the Chattahoochee is continuous but highly regulated by Buford Dam, a flood-control and hydroelectric facility located near Buford, Ga. Calibration and verification...

An appraisal of pumping effects on the Edgeley Aquifer, La Moure County, North Dakota, as determined by a digital model
M. R. Burkart
1979, Open-File Report 79-748
A finite-difference digital model simulated hydrologic conditions in the Edgeley aquifer, which is an unconfined glacial-drift aquifer. The calibrated model supported the hypothesis that under natural steady-state conditions, recharge is from precipitation and discharge is through evapotranspiration. This hypothesis was further supported by comparing simulated water levels to observed water...
Hydrometeorological model for streamflow prediction
Wendell V. Tangborn
1979, Open-File Report 79-741
The hydrometeorological model described in this manual was developed to predict seasonal streamflow from water in storage in a basin using streamflow and precipitation data. The model, as described, applies specifically to the Skokomish, Nisqually, and Cowlitz Rivers, in Washington State, and more generally to streams in other regions that...

Discrimination of alteration in the Crooks Gap, Wyoming, uranium district using laboratory and Landsat spectral reflectance data
Timothy E. Townsend
1979, Open-File Report 79-765
The Crooks Gap area is a major uranium producing district in south-central Wyoming. Uranium occurs there as roll-type deposits in Tertiary sandstones. Alteration of the host sandstones related to the formation of the uranium deposits, is marked at the surface by a pronounced red coloration, which has long been used...
Knik Glacier, Alaska, May 1979 monument and glacier survey
Dennis C. Trabant, L.R. Mayo
1979, Open-File Report 80-48
From 1915, or earlier, to 1966, with the exception of 1963, Knik Glacier annually formed and released Lake George, the largest glacier-dammed lake in Alaska. Eleven geodetically controlled survey stations were defined in the basin, and 22 glacier surface altitudes were measured. This is the first effort in a continuing...
Technique for estimating depth of 100-year floods in New Jersey
A. J. Velnich, Stanley L. Laskowski
1979, Open-File Report 79-419
Techniques are developed for use in estimating 100-year flood depths on New Jersey streams. Equations and graphs are presented relating the 100-year flood depth above the mean annual flood to drainage area and area of lakes and swamps. Separate relations for the Coastal Plain and non-Coastal Plain streams in the...

1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-93
A data management system was developed to store and retrieve urban stormwater data collected from four small urban basins in south Florida. The system is event oriented in that all data from one storm are stored together on the computer file. The data include descriptive information about the storm and...

Map showing occurrences of spring-deposited travertine in the conterminous Western United States
J. H. Feth, Ivan Barnes
1979, Water-Resources Investigations Report 79-35
Extinct travertine terraces occur hundreds of meters above present levels of spring activity and have potentials for interpretation of ancient hydrologic systems, rates of downcutting, or rates of tectonic uplift that remain virtually unexploited. The abundance and size of extinct travertine deposits suggest that in many places, such as pinnacles...
