Evaluation of alternative methods of supplemental recharge by storm-water basins on Long Island, New York
D. A. Aronson
1976, Open-File Report 76-470
Many of the more than 2,200 storm-water basins on Long Island, N.Y., having runoff and infiltration characteristics similar to those of a basin studied in North Massapequa are potential sites for returning large volumes of reclaimed water (highly treated waste water) to the ground-water reservoir. By use of a finite-difference...

Distribution of seed plants with respect to tide levels and water salinity in the natural tidal marshes of the northern San Francisco Bay Estuary, California
Brian F. Atwater, Charles W. Hedel
1976, Open-File Report 76-389
Shoaling of subtidal and intertidal mud flats has permitted tidal marshes to spread across large marginal areas of the San Francisco Bay estuary during the past several thousand years. By 1850 A.D. the tidal marshes of the estuary, including those of the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta, covered an area...

Water availability, quality, and use in Alaska
G. O. Balding
1976, Open-File Report 76-513
The Alaska Water Assessment, sponsored by the Water Resources Council, is a specific problem analysis for Alaska of the National Assessment of Water and Related Land Resources. The assessment addresses water and water-related land problems, present and future. It was felt that a supplementary report, as a part of the...

Mean annual runoff in the upper Ohio River basin, 1941-70, and its historic variation
Robert M. Beall
1976, Open-File Report 76-384
A map of the Ohio River basin above the Muskingum River shows patterns of mean annual runoff for the climatologic and hydrologic reference period, 1941-70. The primary data base consisted of 98 long-term gaging-station records collected within this 27,300-square-mile headwater area of the Ohio River basin. Supplemental information was derived...
The hydrologic setting of lakes in Minnesota and adjacent states; with emphasis on the interaction of lakes and ground water
Thomas C. Winter
1976, Open-File Report 76-81
The hydrologic settings of 150 randomly-selected lakes in the north-central United States were investigated by principal component analysis as a first attempt to develop a general classification of the hydrologic setting of lakes. Precipitation-evaporation balance and the water quality parameters have high factor loadings on the first principal component. Highest...
Textural and mineralogical study of sandstones from the onshore Gulf of Alaska Tertiary Province, southern Alaska
Gary R. Winkler, Hugh McLean, George Plafker
1976, Open-File Report 76-198
Petrographic examination of 74 outcrop samples of Paleocene through Pliocene age from the onshore Gulf of Alaska Tertiary Province indicates that sandstones of the province characteristically are texturally immature and mineralogically unstable. Diagenetic alteration of framework grains throughout the stratigraphic sequence has produced widespread zeolite cement or phyllosilicate grain coatings...
Selected field data collected in 1975, northeastern Craig Quadrangle, southeastern Alaska

This report consists of a computer printout of geologic field data recorded by H.C. Berg from July 2 to July 20, 1975 in the part of the Craig (CR) 1:250,000-scale quadrangle northeast of Clarence Strait (figs. 1 and 2). It contains edited and revised observations on structure, lithology, mineralogy, metamorphism,...
Water and stream-sediment sampling techniques for use in uranium exploration
Karen J. Wenrich-Verbeek
1976, Open-File Report 76-77
Methods of sampling water and stream sediments for uranium were established in this study. Water samples should be taken using a US DH-48 water sampler across the stream channel and should be filtered and acidified in situ. Stream sediments should be taken as a composite sample up and across the...
Crossbedding of the Potomac Formation in Fairfax County, Virginia
Gordon Whitney Weir
1976, Open-File Report 76-193
Crossbedding in sandstone units is the most conspicuous sedimentary structure of the Potomac Formation in Fairfax County, Virginia. Most sets of crossbeds are a few feet thick and several feet wide and tens of feet long. Trough sets are dominant, but planar sets are also common. Dip directions of crossbeds...
A review of hydrologic and geologic conditions related to the radioactive solid-waste burial grounds at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Tennessee
D.A. Webster
1976, Open-File Report 76-727
Solid waste contaminated by radioactive matter has been buried in the vicinity of Oak Ridge National Laboratory since 1944. By 1973, an estimated six million cubic feet of such material had been placed in six burial grounds in two valleys. The practice initially was thought of as a safe method...
Use of an airborne Fraunhofer line discriminator for the detection of solar stimulated luminescence
Robert D. Watson, William R. Hemphill
1976, Open-File Report 76-202
Luminescence is the property of some materials to emit light when excited by external stimuli such as ultraviolet or visible light or by chemical or mechanical action. The Fraunhofer line discriminator (FLO) is an airborne electro-optical device which operates as a non-imaging radiometer and permits detection of solar stimulated luminescence...
