Uranium mine waste water: potential source of ground water in northwestern New Mexico
W. L. Hiss
1977, Open-File Report 77-625
Substantial quantities of water are being pumped from the Morrison Formation of Late Jurassic age in uranium mines in the Grants mineral belt in northwestern New Mexico. The water often contains unacceptable amounts of dissolved uranium, radium, iron, and selenium and suspended solids, but with treatment it can be made...

Radioelement concentrations and preliminary radiometric ages of rocks of the Kigluaik Mountains, Seward Peninsula, Alaska

1977, Open-File Report 77-735
A sequence of old metamorphic rocks including the Kigluaik and Nome Groups is exposed in the Kigluaik Mountains of the Seward Peninsula. The high-grade metasedimentary rocks give a whole-rock Rb-Sr age of 735 m.y. This late Precambrian age is believed to be the time of metamorphism. Orthogneisses, intrusive into the...

Density and porosity estimates from borehole gravity data in the Castle Pines #3, #2, and #1 water wells, Douglas County, Colorado
Keith A. Byerley, J. W. Schmoker
1977, Open-File Report 77-875
Borehole gravity surveys were carried out in the Castle Pines #3, #2, and #1 water wells using the U.S. Geological Survey-LaCoste and Romberg borehole gravity meter (McCulloh and others, 1967a; McCulloh and others, 1967b). The objectives were to estimate the density and porosity of the formations penetrated, and to determine...

1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-69
This map, scale 1:125,000, is a preliminary assessment of the availability of ground water in the lower Merrimack River basin in southern New Hampshire. It is a generalization of several hydrogeologic factors and provides a guideline for ground-water exploration, which is useful in water- and land-use planning. It does not...

Physical, chemical, and biological relations of four ponds in the Hidden Water Creek strip-mine area, Powder River Basin, Wyoming
David J. Wangsness
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-72
The Hidden Water Creek area in Wyoming was mined from 1944 to 1955 and abandoned. The open pits filled with water and pond-type ecosystems developed. Light was transmitted to greater depths within two control ponds located outside the mine area. The lower light transmittance in the ponds within the mined...

Hydrologic evaluation of the Arikaree Formation near Lusk, Niobrara and Goshen counties, Wyoming
M. A. Crist
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-111
The Arikaree Formation of early Miocene age is an aquifer of large areal extent and is composed of very fine grained, poorly bedded, loosely to moderately cemented sandstone and interbedded silt, limestone, and many concretionary layers. The area studied is about 800 square miles in southern Niobrara and northern Goshen...

1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-12
A flow-routing model was used to simulate 17 water years of daily streamflows at five sites. The sites were Mapleton Depot and Newport, Pennsylvania, on the Juniata River, and Harrisburg and Marietta, Pennsylvania, and Conowingo, Maryland, on the Susquehanna River. The purpose for the simulations was to determine the effects...
Water-level records for the San Luis Valley of Colorado, 1973-77

Water-level measurements were made in 122 wells in January 1977. Changes in water levels from January 1976 to January 1977 ranged from a rise of 10.0 feet (3.0 meters) to a decline of 8.6 feet (2.6 meters) both of which occurred in Costilla County. Measurements for the three preceding winters...
