1976, Open-File Report 76-674
The Radiometric Age Data Bank (RADB) has been established by the U.S. Geological Survey, as a means for collecting and organizing the estimated 100,000 radiometric ages presently published for the United States. RADB has been constructed such that a complete sample description (location, rock type, etc.), literature citation, and extensive...
A reconnaissance of the effects of a forest fire on water quality in Kings Canyon National Park, California
Ray J. Hoffman, Rodger F. Ferreira
1976, Open-File Report 76-497
Following two forest fires in the Roaring River drainage basin, Kings Canyon National Park, Calif., water samples were collected from May to July 1974 to determine water-quality changes resulting from the fires. Field measurements included alkalinity , pH, specific conductance, temperature, and discharge. Samples were analyzed in the laboratory for...

Summary of geology and ground-water resources of Passaic County, New Jersey
L.D. Carswell, J.G. Rooney
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-75
Ground water in Passaic County occurs in intergranular openings of unconsolidated stratified deposits of Quaternary age and in joints and fractures in consolidated rocks of Precambrian, Paleozoic, and Triassic age.The Brunswick Formation of Triassic age is the most important aquifer in the southeastern one-third of Passaic County. Reported yields of public supply and...

Outline of the water resources of the Status Creek basin, Yakima Indian Reservation, Washington
Dee Molenaar
1976, Open-File Report 76-808
On the Yakima Indian Reservation, Washington, only about 5 percent of the Satus Creek basin--in the relatively flat eastern lowland adjacent to and including part of the Yakima River lowland--is agriculturally developed, mostly through irrigation. Because the basin 's streams do not contain adequate water for irrigation, most irrigation is...
Effects of drain wells on the ground-water quality of the western Snake Plain Aquifer, Idaho
Joe A. Moreland, Harold R. Seitz, Albert Mario LaSala
1976, Open-File Report 76-673
Approximately 3,100 drain wells injects irrigation waste water, urban runoff, septic-tank effluent, and industrial waste water into the Snake Plain aquifer in Minidoka, Gooding, Jerome, and Lincoln Counties, Idaho. About 29,000 acre-feet of irrigation waste water, 100 acre-feet of urban runoff, 400 acre-feet of septic-tank effluent, and 1,000 acre-feet of...
Quality-of-water data, Palm Beach County, Florida, 1970-1975
Wesley L. Miller, Arthur C. Lietz
1976, Open-File Report 76-784
One of the most pressing problems of Palm Beach County, Florida, is the present and potential contamination of the surface and ground-water resources. The canals which dissect the urban and agricultural areas are convenient receptacles for storm-water runoff, sewage effluent, and agricultural wastes. Contaminants in the canals may enter the...

Basic data on urban storm-water quality, Portland, Oregon
Stuart W. McKenzie, Timothy L. Miller
1976, Open-File Report 76-594
To assess urban storm-water-quality characteristics in the metropolitan area of Portland, Oreg., seven drainage basins were selected with varying drainage areas, basin slopes, impervious areas, land uses, and active construction areas. Automatic water-quality samplers, rain gages, and stream gages were installed in each basin. From September 1, 1975, to may...
Injection of acidic industrial waste into the Floridan Aquifer near Belle Glade, Florida: upward migration and geochemical interactions, 1973-75
Donald J. McKenzie
1976, Open-File Report 76-626
In 1966, a furfural plant at Belle Glade, Florida, began injecting hot, acidic liquid waste into the saline, water-filled lower part of the Floridan aquifer, between the depths of 1 ,495-1,939 feet. The beds above and below the injection zone were subjected to attack by the acid waste. By 1969,...

Tilt changes of short duration
Stuart McHugh
1976, Open-File Report 76-750
Section I of this report contains a classification scheme for short period tilt data. For convenience, all fluctuations in the local tilt field of less than 24 hours duration will be designated SP (i.e., short period) tilt events. Three basic categories of waveshape appearance are defined, and the rules for...
Documentation of programs that compute 1) static tilts for a spatially variable slip distribution, and 2) quasi-static tilts produced by an expanding dislocation loop with a spatially variable slip distribution
Stuart McHugh
1976, Open-File Report 76-578
The material in this report is concerned with the effects of a vertically oriented rectangular dislocation loop on the tilts observed at the free surface of an elastic half-space. Part I examines the effect of a spatially variable static strike-slip distribution across the slip surface. The tilt components as a...

Recycling ground water in Waushara County, Wisconsin : resource management for cold-water fish hatcheries
R.P. Novitzki
1976, Water-Resources Investigations Report 76-20
Recycling water within the local ground-water system can increase the quantity of water available for use, control or avoid environmental pollution, and control temperature of the water supply. Pumped ground water supplied a fish-rearing facility for 15 months, and the waste water recharged the local ground-water system through an infiltration...

The Concho, St. Johns, and White Mountains areas cover about 2 ,300 sq mi in eastern Arizona. Ground water is present in several aquifers that are made up of one or more formations. The maps show ground-water conditions in the Coconini aquifer; in the Triassic, Cretaceous, and Tertiary rocks; and...
