Low-flow study of the Pike River Basin, Racine and Kenosha counties, Wisconsin
Stephen J. Field
1976, Open-File Report 75-653
The low-flow characteristics of the Pike River basin, Racine and Kenosha Counties were studied to determine the feasibility of Public Law 566 watershed-protection practices. Two seepage runs, one in October 1973, and the other in September 1974, showed that most of the low flow is combined treated-sewage and industrial cooling-water...

Preliminary survey of modern glaciolacustrine sediments for earthquake-induced deformational structures, south-central Alaska
Michael J. Rymer, John D. Sims
1976, Open-File Report 76-373
Bottom sediments of four lakes in South-Central Alaska were studied in the summer of 1975 for evidence of earthquake-induced deformation. The lakes are: Summit, Upper Trail, and Skilak, all on the Kenai Peninsula, and Eklutna, northeast of Anchorage (fig. 1). Interest in these lakes was stimulated by hypotheses developed from...

Depositional environments as a guide to uranium mineralization in the Chinle Formation, San Rafael Swell, Utah
Robert Lupe
1976, Open-File Report 76-283
Uranium deposits in the San Rafael Swell are related to sedimentary depositional environments in the Triassic Chinle Formation. The sedimentary textures resulting from depositional processes operating in lower energy environments appear to have influenced uranium mineralization. The Chinle consists of three fining-upward, fluvial-lacustrine sequences. Uranium mineralization is concentrated in the...
Availability of ground water in the area surrounding the Trident submarine construction facility, Kitsap County, Washington
Arnold J. Hansen, Dee Molenaar
1976, Open-File Report 76-351
General information is presented on water resources--with emphasis on ground-water occurrence and availability--in that part of Kitsap County (referred to as Trident Impact Area) that would be most affected by the development of the Trident submarine construction facility at Bangor, Washington. The estimated 1970 water use in the study area...

Measurement of "turbidity" and related characteristics of natural waters
R.J. Pickering
1976, Open-File Report 76-153
The U.S. Geological Survey, Water Resources Division has adopted the following principles to be used in selecting methods for the measurement of light transmitting characteristics of natural waters: (1) standard instruments and methods are to be adopted to measure and report in optical units, avoiding ' turbidity ' as a...

1976, Open-File Report 76-247
Results of time-of-travel studies are presented in both tabular and graphical form for several flow conditions in the Susquehanna River from Binghamton, N.Y., to Clarks Ferry, Pa. This reach is approximately 240 miles (386 kilometres) long, measured along the center of the channel, and has a drainage area of about...
Geothermal investigations in Idaho, Part IV, Isotopic and geochemical analyses of water from the Bruneau-Grand View and Weiser areas, Southwest Idaho
Craig T. Rightmire, H.W. Young, R.L. Whitehead
1976, Open-File Report 76-166
Variations of deuterium and oxygen-18 concentrations in thermal ground waters and local nonthermal springs have been used to aid in describing the source of recharge in the Bruneau-Grand View and Weiser areas, southwest Idaho. Isotope and geochemical data for the Bruneau-Grand View area suggest that recharge to the area may...

Evaluation of hydrologic properties of the Long Island ground-water reservoir using cross-sectional electric-analog models
O.L. Franke, R.T. Getzen
1976, Open-File Report 75-679
Variables necessary for constructing a quantitative model to predict the response of ground-water reservoirs to hydrologic stresses are in four classes: (a) external and internal geometry of the reservoir, (b) nature of the reservoir boundaries, (c) areal distribution of horizontal and vertical hydraulic conductivities, and (d) areal distribution of storage...

In anticipation of oil and gas leasing of the outer continental shelf (OCS lease area 39) in the northeastern Gulf of Alaska, the U. S. Geological Survey began a regional reconnaissance in 1974. The study area, which extends from Prince William Sound on the west to Yakutat Bay on the...

Preliminary investigation of faults and folds along the inner edge of the coastal plain in northeastern Virginia
Robert B. Mixon, Wayne L. Newell
1976, Open-File Report 76-330
Four en-echelon northeast-trending structures, including southeast-dipping monoclines and northwest-dipping high-angle reverse-faults, have been mapped along the inner edge of the Coastal Plain in northeastern Virginia -- an area generally considered to be undeformed. Although displacements are small (15to 60 m), the structures markedly affect the present distribution and thickness of...
Notes on a broad-band variant of the NCER seismic data multiplex system for use with field tape recorders
Jerry P. Eaton
1976, Open-File Report 76-87
Tests of the standard NCER multiplex system recorded and played back on both the Bell and Howell 3700B (about 0.1% tape speed variation) and on the Sony TC-126 cassette recorder (about 1% tape speed variation) showed that subtractive compensation employing a reference frequency multiplexed on the data track was remarkably...
