Documentation of potential for surface faulting related to ground-water withdrawal in Las Vegas Valley, Nevada
Thomas L. Holzer
1978, Open-File Report 78-79
Leveling data collected in Las Vegas Valley are compatible with the interpretation that ongoing land-surface displacements related to ground-water withdrawal may be precursory to fault offset of the land surface. Zones of potential faulting intersect regions of intense urban development. The degree of risk and the potential economic consequences from...
Geology of the Arco-Big Southern Butte area, eastern Snake River Plain, and potential volcanic hazards to the radioactive waste management complex, and other waste storage and reactor facilities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, Idaho
Mel A. Kuntz, John O. Kork
1978, Open-File Report 78-691
The Arco-Big Southern Butte area of the eastern Snake River Plain, Idaho, includes a volcanic rift zone and more than 70 Holocene and late Quaternary basalt volcanoes. The Arco volcanic rift zone extends southeast for 50 km from Arco to about 10 km southeast of Big Southern Butte. The rift...
A water-quality assessment of the Muddy Fork Silver Creek watershed, Clark, Floyd, and Washington counties, Indiana
Mark A. Hardy
1978, Open-File Report 78-202
Data collected for a wide range of flow conditions from September 8, 1975, to July 13, 1976, reveal that human and animal waste loading of streams and pesticide use in the watershed are probably the most significant water-quality problems. Generally, the type(s) of water in tributary streams in the south...

Sonobuoy refraction data near Kodiak, Alaska
Mark L. Holmes, Charles A. Meeder, Kenneth Clark Creager
1978, Open-File Report 78-368
A total of 88 unreversed sonobuoy refraction lines were shot over the continental shelf and slope near Kodiak, Alaska, in 1976 and 1977. Useful results were obtained from 59 of these attempts. The field measurements were carried out aboard the USGS research vessel SAMUEL P. LEE. The refraction lines were...
Hydrogeologic data for the Bear Creek subsurface-injection test site, St. Petersburg, Florida
John J. Hickey
1978, Open-File Report 78-853
Lithologic, hydraulic, geophysical, and water-quality data were collected at the Bear Creek subsurface-injection test site at St. Petersburg, FL. The data were collected to determine the feasibility of subsurface injection of storm runoff. An exploratory hole and five observation wells were constructed between October 1974 and April 1976. The lithology...

Hydrogeologic data for the South Cross Bayou test injection site, Pinellas County, Florida
John J. Hickey
1978, Open-File Report 78-575
One exploratory hole, a test injection well, and nine monitor wells were constructed at the South Cross Bayou test-injection site between January 1973 and October 1975. At the test site, the first 125 feet below land surface is predominantly limestone and clay; from 125 to 3,280 feet it is mostly...
Stormwater-runoff data for a highway area, Broward County, Florida
Jack Hardee, Robert A. Miller, Harold C. Mattraw Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-612
Rainfall, stormwater discharge, and water-quality data for both rainfall and runoff are summarized for a highway area near Pompano Beach, Florida. Loads for 20 water-quality constituents were computed for the runoff from 41 storms between April 1975, and July 1977. The basin of 58.3 acres contains a 3,000 ft segment...
A progress report on estuary modeling by the finite-element method
William G. Gray
1978, Open-File Report 78-479
Various schemes are investigated for finite-element modeling of two-dimensional surface-water flows. The first schemes investigated combine finite-element spatial discretization with split-step time stepping schemes that have been found useful in finite-difference computations. Because of the large number of numerical integrations performed in space and the large sparse matrices solved, these...

Geologic names of Ordovician rock-stratigraphic units exposed in Kentucky
Gordon Whitney Weir, Earle Rupert Cressman
1978, Open-File Report 78-796
This report summarizes and indexes the current usage of geologic names of exposed rock-stratigraphic units of Ordovician age in Kentucky. The Ordovician rocks crop out mainly in two separate areas in Kentucky (fig. 1). The larger area of outcrop, covering much of the middle part of the state, forms the...

Drainage areas of streams in Arkansas--Red River basin
Marion S. Hines, John J. Yanchosek
1978, Open-File Report 78-555
Drainage areas, determined in accordance with procedures recommended by the Subcommittee on Hydrology of the Federal Inter-Agency River Basin Committee, are listed for points on streams in the Red River basin in Arkansas. Points on the streams are identified by some topographic feature and by latitude and longitude....
Selected water-quality data from the Merced River, California, November 1976 through August 1977
Ray J. Hoffman
1978, Open-File Report 78-735
The Merced River originates on the western slope of the Sierra Nevada and flows through Yosemite National Park. The river drains 1,276 square miles before joining the San Joaquin River near Stevinson, Calif. Data were collected to permit descriptions of the river's quality during a hydrologic cycle, the natural and...

Ground-water data on the Hudson River basin, New York
Deborah S. Hammond, Ralph C. Heath, Roger Milton Waller
1978, Open-File Report 78-710
Ground water in the Hudson River basin occurs in unconsolidated deposits and consolidated rock. Sand and gravel units of the unconsolidated deposits, which occur principally in valley bottoms, form the best aquifers and commonly provide well yields of several hundred gallons per minute. Carbonate aquifers are the most productive consolidated...
