Chloroform contamination in part of the alluvial aquifer, Southwest Louisville, Kentucky
R. W. Davis, Edward W. Matthews
1980, Open-File Report 80-219
A well in the Ohio River alluvium at Louisville, Ky., has been yielding water with chloroform concentrations as high as 34.80 milligrams per liter since July 1975. A spill of 5,000 gallons of chloroform in 1970, 120 feet from the well, is probably the source of the contamination. The chloroform...

1980, Open-File Report 80-1257
This report is a continuation of the work on a helium survey presented in Open-File Report 80-181, which covered the period Sept., 1977 - June 30, 1979. Water samples were analyzed for helium collected from twelve springs and wells, of which four are new locations. A brief description of these...
Analysis of borehole geophysical data in an evaporite sequence at Salt Valley, Utah
Jeffrey J. Daniels, James H. Scott, Robert J. Hite
1980, Open-File Report 80-525
Interpretation of the lithology of an interbed sequence (thin-bedded sediments between thick layers of salt) is often difficult due to the presence of dolomitic sandstones and halite inclusions. The most useful well logging measurements in an evaporite sequence are gamma-ray, neutron-neutron, density, and acoustic velocity. The high resistivity of salt...

1980, Open-File Report 80-598
The potentiometric map of the Winona-Tallahatta aquifer is one of a series of maps, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Mississippi Department of Natural Resources , Bureau of Land and Water Resources, delineating the potentiometric surfaces of the major aquifers in Mississippi. In the outcrop area...
Physical environment and hydrologic characteristics of coal-mining areas in Missouri
J. E. Vaill, James H. Barks
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-67
Hydrologic information for the north-central and western coal-mining regions of Missouri is needed to define the hydrologic system in these areas of major historic and planned coal development. This report describes the physical setting, climate, coal-mining practices, general hydrologic system, and the current (1980) hydrologie data base in these two...

Preliminary bathymetry of Aialik Bay and Neoglacial changes of Aialik and Pederson glaciers, Alaska
Austin Post
1980, Open-File Report 80-423
Preliminary bathymetry (at 1:20,000 scale) and scientific studies of Aialik Bay, Alaska, by the Research Vessel Growler in 1978 disclose that the head of the bay consists of a deep basin enclosed by a terminal-moraine shoal. A much smaller basin, into which Aialik Glacier discharges icebergs, is located west of...
Quality of urban runoff, Tecolote Creek drainage area, San Diego County, California
James G. Setmire, Wesley L. Bradford
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-70
The quality of storm runoff from a 9.2-square-mile urbanized watershed, Tecolote Creek, San Diego County, Calif., was studied during nine storms from September 1976 through May 1977. Specific conductance reached 2,100 micromhos and total residue concentrations reached 2,770 milligrams per liter. The chemical oxygen demand concentration in 95% of the...

Geothermal gradients in the Missoula and Bitterroot Valleys, west-central Montana
Robert B. Leonard, Wayne A. Wood
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-89
Temperature-depth profiles of six cased test holes in the Missoula and Bitterroot Valleys, west-central Montana, consist of linear segments, the intersections of which commonly correspond with lithologic boundaries. Geothermal gradients commonly decreased with depth, probably as a result of compaction and higher quartz content of the deeper sedimentary deposits. There...
Flood of August 31-September 1, 1978, in Crosswicks Creek basin and vicinity, central New Jersey
Arthur A. Vickers
1980, Water-Resources Investigations Report 80-115
A thunderstorm during the evening of August 31, 1978, caused flooding in a small area of south central New Jersey. Maximum peaks of record occurred on the upper Crosswicks Creek basin in the vicinity of Fort Dix, Wrightstown, and New Egypt. At New Egypt, high water crest elevations for Crosswicks...
