Geology and ore deposits of the Kutam Mine, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Charles W. Smith, R. Ernest Anderson, M.R. Dehlavi
1977, Open-File Report 78-519
The ancient Kutam mine in southwestern Saudi Arabia was discovered during the course of regional geologic mapping. Malachite coatings along fractures in the ancient workings and nearby large piles of slag indicate the mine was worked for copper. Quartz porphyry of Precambrian age is the principal host rock of the deposit....
Hydrologic data for Little Elm Creek, Trinity River basin, Texas, 1975

An oilspill risk analysis for the western Gulf of Alaska (Kodiak Island) Outer Continental Shelf lease area
James Richard Slack, Richard Allmon Smith, Timothy Wyant
1977, Open-File Report 77-212
An oilspill risk analysis was conducted to determine relative environmental hazards of developing oil in different regions of the Western Gulf of Alaska Outer Continental Shelf lease area. The study analyzed probability of spill occurrence, likely path of pollutants from spills, and locations in space and time of recreational and...
Streamflow characteristics of the Joplin area, Missouri
John Skelton
1977, Open-File Report 77-605
Low-flow and peak-flow frequency data and flow-duration-data, based on records from 21 gaging stations in the Joplin area of southwestern Missouri, are presented. Generalized equations and graphs based on gaging-station records are-shown so that estimates of frequency data and the effects of urbanization on peak flows can be made at...

Preliminary study of sources and processes of enrichment of manganese in water from University of Rhode Island supply wells
William Dudley Silvey, Herbert E. Johnston
1977, Open-File Report 77-561
Concentrations of dissolved manganese have increased from 0.0 to as much as 3.3 mg/liter over a period of years in closely spaced University of Rhode Island supply wells. The wells tap stratified glacial deposits and derive part of their water from infiltration from a nearby river-pond system. The principal sources...
The Pierre Shale, northern Great Plains; a potential isolation medium for radioactive waste
George W. Shurr
1977, Open-File Report 77-776
The purpose of this reconnaissance is to assess the potential of the Pierre Shale, of Late Cretaceous age, as a possible isolation medium for radioactive wastes. The regional stratigraphic and structural setting of the Pierre Shale in the northern Great Plains is summarized from subsurface data. Geologic attributes mapped and...

Geology and ground water in Door County, Wisconsin, with emphasis on contamination potential in the Silurian dolomite
Marvin G. Sherrill
1977, Open-File Report 77-61
Door County, a recreational and fruit-growing area bordering Lake Michigan in northeastern Wisconsin, has had a long history of ground-water contamination from surface and near-surface sources. Contamination is most severe in late summer when fruit-canning operations and the influx of tourists create additional wastes. Silurian dolomite is the upper bedrock...
