Current oil and gas production from North American Upper Cretaceous chalks
Peter A. Scholle
1977, Circular 767
Production of oil and natural gas from North American chalks has increased significantly during the past five years, spurred by the prolific production from North Sea chalks, as well as by higher prices and improved production technology. Chalk reservoirs have been discovered in the Gulf Coast in the Austin Group,...

Selected water-level records for western Oklahoma, 1950-1975
Robert L. Goemaat
1977, Open-File Report 77-73
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...

Saline-water intrusion in the Floridan Aquifer in the Fernandina Beach area, Nassau County, Florida
Roy W. Fairchild, C.B. Bentley
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-32
The Floridan aquifer is the major source of water for municipal and industrial use in northeastern Nassau County, Florida. Pumpage from the aquifer at Fernandina Beach has created a cone of depression in the potentiometric surface which is at or below sea level in a 35-square mile area. Since 1880...

Trophic conditions in Lake Winnisquam, New Hampshire
Leonard R. Frost Jr.
1977, Water-Resources Investigations Report 77-137
Lake Winnisquam has received treated domestic sewage for approximately 50 years and since June 1961 has been treated with copper sulfate to control the growth of nuisance algae. The Laconia City secondary sewage-treatment plant was upgraded in 1975 to include phosphorus removal. Phosphorus was not removed effectively until early 1976,...
Methods for determination of radioactive substances in water and fluvial sediments
Leland Lincoln Thatcher, Victor J. Janzer, Kenneth W. Edwards
1977, Techniques of Water-Resources Investigations 05-A5
Analytical methods for the determination of some of the more important components of fission or neutron activation product radioactivity and of natural radioactivity found in water are reported. The report for each analytical method includes conditions for application of the method, a summary of the method, interferences, required apparatus and...
Leachate plumes in ground water from Babylon and Islip landfills, Long Island, New York
Grant E. Kimmel, Olin C. Braids
1977, Open-File Report 77-583
Landfills operated by the towns of Babylon and Islip in southwest and central Suffolk County, N.Y., contain urban refuse , incinerated garbage, and scavenger (cesspool) waste; some industrial refuse is deposited at the Babylon site. The Islip landfill was started in 1933, the Babylon landfill in 1947. The landfills are...

A map showing the potentiometric surface of the Floridan aquifer was prepared for that area north and west of Gainesville to near Tallahassee, Florida. Contoured at 10-foot (3.048-meter) intervals and at a scale of 1:500,000, the map illustrates the altitude to which water would rise in tightly cased wells that...
