Hydrologic effects of storing liquified sewage sludge on strip-mined land, Fulton County, Illinois
G. L. Patterson
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4047
The water table near four sewage storage basins in a strip-mined area of western Illinois, has risen about 10 feet since the basins were constructed in 1971. Two dimensional modeling of ground-water flow in the mine spoil indicates that the rise is caused by leakage from one storage basin. The...
Analyzing thematic maps and mapping for accuracy
G.H. Rosenfield
1982, Open-File Report 82-239
Two problems which exist while attempting to test the accuracy of thematic maps and mapping are: (1) evaluating the accuracy of thematic content, and (2) evaluating the effects of the variables on thematic mapping. Statistical analysis techniques are applicable to both these problems and include techniques for sampling the data...
Reconnaissance of ground-water quality, eastern Snake River basin, Idaho
D. J. Parliman
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-4004
Water-quality, geologic, and hydrologic data were collected for 165 wells in the eastern Snake River basin, Idaho. Water-quality characteristics analyzed include specific conductance, pH, water temperature, major dissolved cations and anions, and coliform bacteria. Ground water from aquifers in all rock units is generally composed of calcium, magnesium, and bicarbonate...

Leaching characteristics of ash from the May 18, 1980, eruption of Mount St. Helens Volcano, Washington
David Burl Smith, Robert A. Zielinski, Howard E. Taylor
1982, Open-File Report 82-987
Leaching of freshly erupted air-fall ash, unaffected by rain, from the May 18, 1.980,eruption of Mount St. Helens volcano, Washington, shows that Ca 2+, Na+, Mg+, SO4 2-, and Cl- are the predominant chemical species released on first exposure of the ash to water. Extremely high correlation of Ca with...

Specification for procurement of water-level sensing instrumentation, specification number HIF-I-1
D.H. Rapp
1982, Open-File Report 82-89
This specification is to communicate to instrument manufacturers the U.S. Geological Survey 's requirements. It covers systems for sensing the elevation of the water surface on open channels, rivers, lakes, reservoirs, storm-sewer pipes, and observation wells at Survey data-collection sites. The signal output (mechanical or electrical) must meet the signal...

Aliphatic Hydrocarbons in Surface Sediments of Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor, Washington
J. B. Rapp, K.A. Kvenvolden, H.E. Clifton
1982, Open-File Report 82-609
Willapa Bay and Grays Harbor are two adjacent estuaries along the coast of Washington state. Willapa Bay is a recreational area minimally affected by industry; Grays Harbor, on the other hand, is moderately industrialized. Aliphatic hydrocarbons in surface sediments from these two estuaries reflect the differences in human activities. For...
Plankton studies in San Francisco Bay; V, Zooplankton species composition and abundance in the South Bay, 1980-1981
Anne Hutchinson
1982, Open-File Report 82-1002
Data are presented that summarize zooplankton species composition and abundance in South San Francisco Bay during 1980 and 1981. Sampling was conducted at least twice monthly at thirteen stations, from the southern extremity of the South Bay to the Golden Gate Bridge between January 1980 and May 1981. Samples were...

Kevin F. Dennehy, Jerry W. Mercer
1982, Water-Resources Investigations Report 82-19
Data were collected during hydrologic testing at wells H-5A, H-5B, and H-5C in the northeastern part of the proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant site in southeastern New Mexico. The three water-bearing zones tested, the Magenta and Culebra Dolomite Members of the Rustler Formation and the Rustler Formation-Salado Formation contact, yield...

1982, Open-File Report 82-27
An oilspill risk analysis was conducted for the mid-Atlantic (proposed sale 76) Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) lease area. The analysis considered: the probability of spill occurrences based on historical trends; likely movement of oil slicks based on a climatological model; and locations of environmental resources which could be vulnerable to...
