Disturbed zones: Indicators of deep-seated subsurface faults in the Valley and Ridge and Appalachian structural front of Pennsylvania
Howard A. Pohn, Terri L. Purdy
1982, Open-File Report 82-967
Field studies of geologic structures in the Valley and Ridge and adjacent parts of the Appalachian Plateau provinces in Pennsylvania have shown a new type of structure, formerly poorly understood and frequently unmapped, is a significant indicator of deep-seated subsurface faulting. These structures, herein called disturbed zones, are formed by...
Two BASIC computer programs for the determination of in situ stresses using the CSIRO hollow inclusion stress cell and the USBM borehole deformation gage
W. K. Smith
1982, Open-File Report 82-489
The mathematical method of determining in-situ stresses by overcoring, using either the U.S. Bureau of Mines Borehole Deformation Gage or the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation Hollow Inclusion Stress Cell, is summarized, and data reduction programs for each type of instrument, written in BASIC, are presented. The BASIC programs...

1982, Open-File Report 82-701
Exploration for a high-level-nuclear-waste-repository site in the Yucca Mountain area, Nev., resulted in the addition of 423 new gravity stations during the past 2 years to the 934 existing stations to form the data base of this study. About 100 surface-rock samples, three borehole gamma-gamma logs, and one borehole gravity...
Water-quality assessment of the Merced River, California
Stephen K. Sorenson
1982, Open-File Report 82-450
The Merced River and its major tributaries have been subject of water-quality and water-quantity studies by local, State, and Federal agencies since before 1900. Data have been compiled and analyzed, and even though water-quality problems exist in the basin, the water generally is of good quality for most of the...
Integrated model of the shallow and deep hydrothermal systems in the East Mesa area, Imperial Valley, California
T. David Riney, J.W. Pritchett, L.F. Rice
1982, Open-File Report 82-980
Geological, geophysical, thermal, petrophysical and hydrological data available for the East Mesa hydrothermal system that are pertinent to the construction of a computer model of the natural flow of heat and fluid mass within the system are assembled and correlated. A conceptual model of the full system is developed and...

Characterization of aquifers designated as potential drinking-water sources in Mississippi
L. A. Gandl
1982, Open-File Report 81-550
The Environmental Protection Agency has established that all ground water having a dissolved-solids concentration of less than 10,000 milligrams per liter is to be protected from injection of waste material. The Underground Injection Control program is intended to protect aquifers that are possible future sources of drinking water. Fourteen aquifers...

Downstream effects of reservoir releases to the Potomac River from Luke, Maryland, to Washington, D.C.
T. J. Trombley
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4062
A digital computer flow-routing model was developed for the Potomac River in order to determine the downstream effects of flow releases from the Bloomington and Savage River Reservoirs. Both reservoirs are located above Luke, Maryland approximately 230 miles upstream from Washington, D. C. The downstream effects of reservoir releases were...
Land subsidence in the San Joaquin Valley, California, as of 1980
R. L. Ireland, J. F. Poland, F. S. Riley
1982, Open-File Report 82-370
Land subsidence due to ground-water overdraft in the San Joaquin Valley began in the mid-1920 's and continued at alarming rates until surface was imported through major canals and aqueducts in the 1950 's and late 1960's. In areas where surface water replaced withdrawal of ground-water, water levels in the...
