Reconnaissance of water availability and quality in abandoned coal mines near Roslyn, Kittitas County, Washington
F. A. Packard
1981, Open-File Report 80-955
The recoverable volume of ground water in abandoned coal mines near Roslyn, Wash., is estimated to be 20,000 acre-feet. During times of drought, pumping this water into the Cle Elum and Yakima Rivers for use in irrigation downstream should present few major water-quality problems. Wells at seven locations should be...

Selected biological characteristics of streams in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado
Ronald W. Naten, Richard H. Fuller
1981, Open-File Report 81-644
Biological sampling was carried out during 1976-78 in five streams in the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, in order to provide baseline water-quality data for an area of potential oil-shale development. The biological activity in the streams sampled generally is limited by physical factors more so than by chemical...

Catalog of earthquakes along the San Andreas fault system in central California, July-September 1977
S.M. Marks, L. Fluty
1981, Open-File Report 81-462
Numerous small earthquakes occur each day in the Coast Ranges of central California. The detailed study of these earthquakes provides a tool for gaining insight into the tectonic and physical processes responsible for the generation of damaging earthquakes. This catalog contains the fundamental parameters for earthquakes located within and adjacent...

Baseline studies of the feasibility and reliability of using animal behavior as a component in the prediction of earthquakes
Dale F. Lott, Benjamin L. Hart, Kenneth L. Verosub
1981, Open-File Report 81-378
