Hydraulic and hydrologic aspects of flood-plain planning
Sulo Werner Wiitala, Karl R. Jetter, Alan J. Sommerville
1958, Open-File Report 58-109
The valid incentives compelling occupation of the flood plain, up to and even into the stream channel, undoubtedly have contributed greatly to the development of the country. But the result has been a heritage of flood disaster, suffering, and enormous costs.Flood destruction awakened a consciousness toward reduction and elimination of...
Origin of manganese deposits of Busuanga Island, Philippines
Ronald Keith Sorem
1958, Open-File Report 58-98
The manganese deposits of Busuanga Island, Palawan, are tabular and broadly lenticular bodies which lie conformably within a thick sequence of deformed abort beds. The purpose of this study is to determine the probable mode of origin of the deposits. Similar deposits in other parts of the world have been...

1958, Open-File Report 58-12
In 1957, five test holes were drilled near Kramer, California, in =he western Mojave Desert. The drill sites are in topographic basins where gravimetric and geologic surveys indicated the presence, beneath alluvium, of a thick section of Quaternary and Tertiary sedimentary and volcanic rocks. Two holes which were deeper tests...

Donald D. Haynes, Charles T. Pierson, Max G. White
1958, Trace Elements Memorandum 943
Uranium-bearing coal and carbonaceous shale of the Rio Bonito formation of Pennsylvanian age have been found in the States of Sao Paulo, Santa Catarlna and Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The uranium oxide content of the samples collected in the State of Sao Paulo ranges from 0.001 percent to 0.082...
Reconnaissance for radioactive rocks in the Paulo Afonso Region, Bahia, Brazil
Donald D. Haynes, Henry Mau
1958, Trace Elements Memorandum 1104
Ground and air traverses were made to the northwest, north and northeast of Paulo Afonso, Bahia, Brazil, covering Precambrian crystalline rocks and sedimentary rocks of the Jatoba series of Jurassic or Cretaceous age. No important radioactivity anomalies were found; samples from the two strongest anomalies had an equivalent uranium-oxide content...

Physical properties of salt, anhydrite and gypsum : preliminary report
Eugene C. Robertson, Richard A. Robie, Kenneth G. Books
1958, Trace Elements Memorandum 1048
This summary is the result of a search of the available literature. Emphasis is placed on the mechanical and calorimetric properties of salt; the measurements of elastic, thermal, magnetic, and mass properties of salt are merely tabulated. Under hydrostatic pressure < 1,000 kg/cm2 at room temperature, salt deforms plastically to...
