Geotechnical properties of sediments from the Continental Shelf south of Icy Bay, northeastern Gulf of Alaska
Paul R. Carlson, William P. Levy, Bruce F. Molnia, John C. Hampson Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-1071
Studies of geotechnical properties of marine sediments have recently intensified as the search for natural resources has expanded on the continental shelf. The U. S. Geological Survey has begun a detailed evaluation of geologic environmental conditions in continental shelf regions in order to facilitate safe development of continental shelf resources....

1978, Open-File Report 78-1002
A mineral survey of the Charles Sheldon wilderness study area, located in Humboldt and Washoe Counties, Nevada, and Lake and Harney Counties, Oregon was conducted in 1974 and 1975 (fig. 1A, 1B, 1C). The mineral resource potential was evaluated by geological, geochemical, and geophysical studies by the U.S. Geological Survey,...

Evaluation of the geologic and hydrologic factors related to the waste-storage potential of Mesozoic aquifers in the southern part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, South Carolina and Georgia
Philip M. Brown, D.L. Brown, M.S. Reid, O. B. Lloyd Jr.
1978, Open-File Report 78-292
This report describes the subsurface distribution of rocks of Cretaceous to Late Jurassic(?) age in the Atlantic. Coastal Plain, South Carolina and Georgia, and examines their potential for deep-well waste storage. For mapping purposes a waste-storage "operational unit" is established and defined. It is a sand or sandstone layer, 20...
Water resources of Camas Prairie, south-central Idaho
H.W. Young
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-82
Ground-water pumpage in Camas Prairie, Idaho, for irrigation and municipal supplies totaled nearly 9,500 acre-feet in 1977. Declines of pressure head in the artesian aquifer have ranged from 3 to 12 feet since 1974 when increased ground-water pumping began. A comparison of water-level measurements made in September 1957 and September...
Feasibility of water-supply development from the unconfined aquifer in Charlotte County, Florida
R. M. Wolansky
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-26
The unconfined aquifer in Charlotte County contains some potable water over most of the county, and represents a potential source of water supply to help satisfy the increasing demands of development. An estimated 150 billion cubic feet of relatively good quality water is stored in the unconfined aquifer. Transmissivity of...
Ground-water resources of the Cape Lookout National Seashore, North Carolina
M. D. Winner Jr.
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-52
Fresh groundwater in the Cape Lookout National Seashore in North Carolina occurs in the unconfined aquifer, an upper confined aquifer, and a lower limestome aquifer. The unconfined aquifer beneath dunes on the barrier islands is estimated to yield as much as 30 gallons per minute of freshwater to a horizontal...
Postimpoundment survey of water-quality characteristics of Raystown Lake, Huntingdon and Bedford Counties, Pennsylvania
Donald R. Williams
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-42
Water-quality data, collected from May 1974 to September 1976 at thirteen sites within Raystown Lake and in the inflow and outflow channels, define the water-quality characteristics of the lake water and the effects of impoundment on the quality of the lake outflow. Depth-profile measurements show Raystown Lake to be dimictic....
Atlantic walrus (Odobenus rosmarus rosmarus): A literature survey and status report
Randall R. Reeves
1978, Wildlife Research Report 10
It is generally agreed that the genus Odobenus includes only one species, O. rosmarus. At least two subspecies are widely recognized: O. r. rosmarus, the Atlantic walrus, and O. r. divergens, the Pacific walrus. A third nominal subspecies, O. r. laptevi, the Laptev walrus, is designated by some Soviet researchers;...
Maps showing ground-water conditions in the Yuma area, Yuma County, Arizona, 1975
D. W. Wilkins
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 78-62
In the Yuma area, Arizona, ground water is pumped mainly for the drainage of waterlogged land and for irrigation. In 1975 about 255,000 acre-feet of ground water was withdrawn, of which about 158,000 acre-feet was pumped for drainage of waterlogged land. For 1915-75, about 4,568,000 acre-feet was withdrawn, of which...
Land use and land cover information and air-quality planning
W.E. Reed, J.E. Lewis
1978, Professional Paper 1099-B
The land use and land cover information developed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the Central Atlantic Regional Ecological Test Site project has been proven useful when used in an improved technique for estimating emissions, diffusion, and impact patterns of sulfur dioxide (S02) and particulate matter. Implementation of plans to...
Water resources of northeast North Carolina
Hugh B. Wilder, Tully M. Robison, K.L. Lindskov
1978, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-81
Several water-related problems are associated with economic development of northeast North Carolina. The solution to these problems depends in part on adequate knowledge of the hydrology of this 8,930 square mile coastal area. Average annual precipitation on the area is about 50 inches. Of this amount, about 34 inches returns...

Brevard County is an area of some 1,300 square miles located on the east coast of central Florida. The Titusville quadrangle, in northern Brevard, includes part of the Atlanta Coastal Ridge, an area of relatively high sand ridges that are generally above 30 feet in altitude (sheet 1). Approximately the...
