Roger W. Lee, Steven E. Slagle, James R. Stimson
1981, Open-File Report 80-1298
Hydrologic and chemical data were collected during base-flow conditions on three streams in southeastern Montana from October 26 to November 5, 1977, to characterize groundwater discharge. Maximum measured flow of Otter Creek, an interrupted stream, was 1.2 cubic feet per second. The water chemistry was dominated by sodium, magnesium, and...
Bedded Precambrian iron deposits of the Tobacco Root Mountains, southwestern Montana
H. L. James
1981, Professional Paper 1187
Bedded deposits of iron-formation are minor components of the thoroughly metamorphosed and deformed Precambrian rocks that make up the core of the Tobacco Root Mountains. The rocks are Archean in age; they predate a major Precambrian orogeny that affected all of southwestern Montana about 2,750 m.y. ago. The principal bed...

W. J. Nokleberg
1981, Professional Paper 1154
The Strawberry mine roof pendant, 90 km northeast of Fresno, Calif., is composed of a sequence of metasedimentary rocks of probable Early Jurassic age and a sequence of metaigneous rocks of middle Cretaceous age. The metasedimentary rocks are a former miogeosynclinal sequence of marl and limestone now metamorphosed to calc-silicate...

Radionuclide concentrations in streams in the upper Blackfoot River basin, southeastern Idaho
Walton H. Low
1981, Open-File Report 81-142
Data on radionuclide concentrations in water and sediment material in the phosphate-mining area of the upper Blackfoot River basin were collected from May to October 1979. Maximum measured uranium and radium-226 concentrations dissolved in water were 3.7 micrograms per liter and 1.8 picocuries per liter , respectively. Maximum measured uranium...

1981, Open-File Report 81-1291
Detailed examination of planktonic Foraminifera from the type section of the Miocene Kingshill Limestone and from 14 other Miocene and lower Pliocene limestone exposures in the Kingshill Seaway of St. Croix ((at 17°44' N., long 64° 46' W.; fig. 1) has led to the first publication of an in-depth biostratigraphic...
Baseline studies of the feasibility and reliability of using animal behavior as a component in the prediction of earthquakes
Dale F. Lott, Benjamin L. Hart, Kenneth L. Verosub
1981, Open-File Report 81-378
This project was established to determine if it were possible to advance the state of the art in earthquake prediction by learning more about claims that unusual animal behavior was an earthquake precursor. We used intensive post-earthquake interview surveys to gather objective reports both of instances of unusual animal behavior...
Generalized altitude and configuration of the base of the High Plains regional aquifer, northwestern Oklahoma
John S. Havens
1981, Open-File Report 81-1117
During 1978, the U.S. Geological Survey began a 5-year study of the High Plains regional aquifer system to provide hydrologic information for evaluation of the effects of long-term development of the aquifer and to develop computer models for prediction of aquifer response to alternative changes in ground-water management (Weeks, 1978)....

This report contains a compilation of selected ground-water data for the Beryl-Enterprise area, Iron and Washington Counties, Utah. The records of the wells include such information as driller's logs, yield, drawdown, use, and temperature of the well water. There are also records of water levels in selected wells for the...
Geologic factors pertinent to the proposed A. J. Wiley Hydroelectric Project No. 2845, Bliss, Idaho
Harold E. Malde
1981, Open-File Report 81-569
The A.J. Wiley Hydroelectric Project is a proposal by the Idaho Power Company to develop hydroelectricity near Bliss, Idaho, by building a dam on the Snake River (fig. 1). The proposed dam would impound a narrow reservoir as deep as 85 feet in a free-flowing reach of the river that...
Plan of study for the regional aquifer-system analysis of the Snake River plain, Idaho and eastern Oregon
Gerald F. Lindholm
1981, Open-File Report 81-689
The 15,600-square-mile Snake River Plain is largely in southern Idaho and includes one of the Nation 's major regional aquifers. A comprehensive investigation of the area 's ground-water resources will be made as part of the U.S. Geological Survey 's Regional Aquifer-System Analysis (RASA) program. Basaltic and sedimentary rocks in...

The need for large quantities of energy has created interest in the Fort Union coal region of the Northern Great Plains. Extensive development of this coal, which may include onsite steam-power generation, gasification, liquefaction, and slurry-pipeline transport of the coal from this region, would place a heavy demand on the...

A 10-year plan to study the aquifer system of Indian Wells Valley, California
Paul Lipinski, Darwin D. Knochenmus
1981, Open-File Report 81-404
Water needs of the population of Indian Wells Valley, Calif., must be met through further development of ground-water resources. Studies show that annual ground-water pumpage there has increased since 1945 and has exceeded mean annual recharge since 1966. Continued and increased stress on the aquifer system of the valley is...
