D.F. Goerlitz
1981, Open-File Report 82-124
Methods for the determination of pentachlorophenol (PCP) in water and aquifer sediments are presented. Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromotography employing ion suppression and gradient elution is used. PCP can be determined directly in water at a lower limit of detection Of 0.2 micrograms per liter. For extracts of sediment, PCP can...

Hydrology and the effects of industrial pumping in the Nikiski area, Alaska
Gordon L. Nelson
1981, Open-File Report 81-685
Ground-water consumption for industrial use at Nikiski increased from about 1 million gallons per day in 1968 to 4.2 million gallons per day in 1979. Water managers and local citizens are concerned that industrial pumping may reduce the esthetic and recreational value of local lakes. Some lake levels have declined...

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...

Magnitude and chemical quality of base flow of Otter Creek, Tongue River, and Rosebud Creek, southeastern Montana, October 26-November 5, 1977
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...
Hydrologic monitoring in the coal fields of central Utah, August 1978-September 1979
Gregory C. Lines, Gerald G. Plantz
1981, Open-File Report 81-138
Surface-water quantity and quality were observed at 12 gaging stations downstream from mined and lease areas in the Wasatch Plateau, Book Cliff's, and Emery coal fields in central Utah. Measurements of base flow were made at 52 additional sites in the region. The report describes the hydrologic setting of this...
A 10-year plan to study the aquifer system of Indian Wells Valley, California
