Movement and fate of creosote waste in ground water, Pensacola, Florida; U.S. Geological Survey toxic waste--ground-water contamination program
B.J. Franks
H.C. Mattraw Jr., editor(s)
1984, Open-File Report 84-466
In 1983, the U.S. Geological Survey, Office of Hazardous Waste Hydrology, selected the former American Creosote Works site near Pensacola, Florida as a national research demonstration area. Seventy-nine years (1902-81) of seepage from unlined discharge impoundments had released creosote, diesel fuel, and pentachlorophenol (since 1950) wastes into the ground-water system....
Compilation of selected hydrologic data from the MX missile-siting investigation, east-central Nevada and western Utah
Robin L. Bunch, James R. Harrill
1984, Open-File Report 84-702
Construction, water-level, and water-quality data for wells and site-description, discharge, and water-quality data for springs and streams in 37 hydrographic areas in Nevada and Utah are presented in this report. These data are grouped in tables, by area. Additional tables contain a summary of data and aquifer-test results for wells...

The concept of electron activity and its relation to redox potentials in aqueous geochemical systems
D.C. Thorstenson
1984, Open-File Report 84-72
The definition of a formal thermodynamic activity of electrons in redox reactions appears in the literature of the 1920's. The concept of pe as -log (electron activity) was introduced by Jorgensen in 1945 and popularized in the geochemical literature by Sillen, who considered pe and pH as master variables in...
Hydrology of Yucca Mountain and vicinity, Nevada-California — Investigative results through mid-1983
R. K. Waddell, J. H. Robison, R. K. Blankennagel
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4267
Yucca Mountain, Nevada, is one of several sites under consideration for construction of the first repository for high-level nuclear waste. The climate is arid; few perennial streams are present in the region. Flash floods occasionally occur. The site is underlain by at least 1,800 meters of volcanic tuffs of Tertiary...
Water-table contours, directions of ground-water movement, and measurements of inflow to American Falls Reservoir, southeastern Idaho, April 1984
H.W. Young
1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 84-4269
In 1978 the U.S. Geological Survey began a 5-year study of the High Plains regional aquifer system to provide hydrologic information for evaluating the effects of long-term development of the aquifer and to develop a capability for predicting aquifer response to alternative changes in ground-water management. By use of a...
Geohydrology of the valley-fill aquifer in the Bath area, Lower Cohocton River, Steuben County, New York

1984, Water-Resources Investigations Report 85-4095
The Bath valley-fill aquifer, southern New York, composed of outwash, ice-contact, and ice-disintegration sand and gravel, is highly productive and is in many areas in hydraulic contact with the Cohocton River. Potential well yields range 50 to more than 1,000 gallons per minute. Most of the aquifer is under shallow...
