Economic rent is commonly defined in economics as any payment to a factor of production in excess of the minimum necessary to engage it in production. In the case of OCS lands owned by the federal government, the minimum supply price necessary to induce the federal government to lease production...
Handbook of acute toxicity of chemicals to fish and aquatic invertebrates : summaries of toxicity tests conducted at Columbia National Fisheries Research Laboratory, 1965-78
W. Waynon Johnson, Mack T. Finley
1980, Resource Publication 137
Acute toxicity is a major subject of research at Columbia National Fisheries Research Laboratory for evaluating the impact of toxic chemicals on fishery resources. The Laboratory has played a leading role in developing research technology for toxicity testing and data interpretation. In 1965-78, more than 400 chemicals were tested against...

Breeding biology and relation of pollutants to black skimmers and gull-billed terns in South Carolina
Lawrence J. Blus, Charles J. Stafford
1980, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 230
The breeding biology and relation of pollutants to black skimmers (Ryn chops niger) and gull-billed terns (Gelochelidon nilotica) were investigated in South Carolina from 1969 through 1975. With few exceptions, the two species nested together in colonies located on barrier islands. We located 10 colonies, 7 of which were on...
The Rocky Mountain population of the western Canada goose: Its distribution, habitats, and management
William B. Krohn, Elwood G. Bizeau
1980, Special Scientific Report - Wildlife 229
The western Canada goose (Branta canadensis moffitti) was divided into a Rocky Mountain population (RMP) and a Pacific population (PP) on the basis of band recovery patterns examined in this study and recovery data from other investigators. Habitat information obtained from nine cooperating wildlife agencies within the RMP's range provided...
Selected water-level records for Oklahoma, 1979-80
Willard B. Mills, Dannie E. Spiser
1980, Open-File Report 80-975
A systematic program to collect water-level records in Oklahoma began in 1937. The objectives of this program are (1) to provide long-term records of water-level fluctuations in representative wells, (2) to facilitate the prediction of water-level trends and indicate future availability of ground-water supplies, and (3) to provide information for...

Type curves for selected problems of flow to wells in confined aquifers
J.E. Reed
1980, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 03-B3
This report presents type curves and related material for 11 conditions of flow to wells m confined aquifers. These solutions, compiled from hydrologic literature, span an interval of time from Theis (1935) to Papadopulos, Bredehoeft, and Cooper (1973). Solutions are presented for constant discharge, constant drawdown, and variable discharge for pumping wells that fully penetrate leaky...
Ground-water appraisal in northwestern Big Stone County, west-central Minnesota
W.G. Soukup
1980, Open-File Report 80-568
The development of ground water for irrigation in northwestern Big Stone County has not kept up with development in other irrigable areas of the State. This is due, in part, to the absence of extensive surficial aquifers and the difficulty in locating buried aquifers. Test augering south of Beardsley outlined a...
Index of streamflow and water quality records to September 30, 1978, Arctic Slope, Alaska
Patsy J. Still
1980, Open-File Report 80-554
This report, which is one of a series of reports for Alaska, lists stations in Arctic Slope Alaska (fig. 1) at which streamflow and water-quality data have been collected by the U.S. Geological Survey.Most of the data referred to in this report have been published in reports of the Geological...

The effects of using ground water to maintain water levels of Cedar Lake, Wisconsin
R.S. McLeod
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-23
Cedar Lake, a kettle lake with no surface inlet or outlet, was studied to evaluate the feasibility of maintaining water levels of lakes in the glaciated kettle moraine area of eastern Wisconsin by pumping ground water into them. The general hydrogeology of the area around the lake was defined and...
