Geologic interpretation of a radioactivity anomaly near the west fork of the Buckland River, western Alaska
Thomas P. Miller
1977, Open-File Report 77-372
A large part of western Alaska has been included in a uranium- thorium metallogenic province (Clark and others, 1974; Miller and Bunker, 1976; Miller, 1976) chiefly because of the occurrence of uraniferous plutonic rocks with local concentrations of uranium minerals. Recently, however, anomalous amounts of uranium and thorium have been...

January 1977 water levels, and data related to water-level changes since 1950, western Kansas
Marilyn E. Pabst
1977, Open-File Report 77-264
This report contains basic data on water-level measurements in observation wells in western Kansas. Most of the measurements were made in January 1977; a few were made in December 1976 and in February 1977. The measurements were made in mid-winter when pumping was minimal and water levels had recovered from...
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...
Electrical resistivity well-logging system with solid-state electronic circuitry
James Henry Scott, Arnold J. Farstad
1977, Open-File Report 77-144
An improved 4-channel electrical resistivity well-logging system for use with a passive probe with electrodes arranged in the 'normal' configuration has been designed and fabricated by Westinghouse Electric Corporation to meet technical specifications developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. Salient features of the system include solid-state switching and current regulation...

Biogeochemical prospecting for uranium with conifers: results from the Midnite Mine area, Washington
J. Thomas Nash, Frederick Norville Ward
1977, Open-File Report 77-354
The ash of needles, cones, and duff from Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa Laws) growing near uranium deposits of the Midnite mine, Stevens County, Wash., contain as much as 200 parts per million (ppm) uranium. Needle samples containing more than 10 ppm uranium define zones that correlate well with known uranium...
Quality of rivers of the United States, 1974 water year: based on the National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN)
Richard O. Hawkinson, John F. Ficke, L.G. Saindon
1977, Open-File Report 77-151
The National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN) was established by the U.S Geological Survey to determine and compare the quality at key locations on the Nation 's major rivers. There are 345 stations in the network--data from the first 101 of these (those operating during the 1974 water year) are...

Effect of channel material on width-discharge relations for perennial streams, with emphasis on streams in Kansas -- a progress report
W. R. Osterkamp
1977, Open-File Report 77-38
Using consistent procedures for width measurement at established streamflow-gaging stations, data were compiled to develop a power-function relation between width and mean discharge for high-gradient perennial streams. High-gradient channels, which generally exhibit low variability for most factors influencing the width-discharge relation, were selected to define a standard exponent in the...
Hydrogeologic data for the McKay Creek subsurface waste-injection test site, Pinellas County, Florida
John D. Hickey
1977, Open-File Report 77-802
Lithologic, hydraulic, geophysical, and water-quality data collected at the McKay Creek subsurface waste-injection test site in Pinellas County, Florida, are reported. Data were collected to determine the possibility of subsurface injection of waste-treatment plant effluent. One exploratory hole, one test injection well, and eight observation wells were constructed between May...
Water resources data for West Virginia, water year 1975
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1977, Water Data Report WV-75-1
Water resources data for the 1975 water year for West Virginia consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams and springs; stage and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels in wells. This report contains discharge records for 131 gaging stations; stage only records for 1...

Summary of ground-water conditions in the Jaffna Peninsula, Republic of Sri Lanka, with a plan for investigating feasibility of ground-water development
Harold Meisler
1977, Open-File Report 77-558
Ground water in the Jaffna Peninsula of Sri Lanka, Ceylon, occurs within solution openings of the Jaffna Limestone of Miocene age. The freshwater forms a complex of lenses up to 25 meters thick overlying saline water derived from the sea. Salt-water intrusion and upconing of the salt water has occurred...
Progress report on uranium investigations in the Zane Hills area, west-central Alaska
Thomas P. Miller, Raymond L. Elliott
1977, Open-File Report 77-428
The Zane Hills pluton underlies a mountainous area of about 460 km2 in west-central Alaska and is locally enriched in uranium and thorium (Miller and Ferrians, 1968; Miller, 1970; Staatz and Miller, 1976). While over 90 percent of the pluton consists of granodiorite with average contents of uranium and thorium,...

Appraisal of the water resources of Death Valley, California-Nevada
Glenn Allen Miller
1977, Open-File Report 77-728
The hydrologic system in Death Valley is probably in a steady-state condition--that is, recharge and discharge are equal, and net changes in the quantity of ground water in storage are not occurring. Recharge to ground water in the valley is derived from interbasin underflow and from local precipitation. The two...
