The Data Source Appendix of a report regarding an ecological characterization of coastal Maine, North, and East of Cape Elizabeth

From objectives and scope of work: The objective of this report is to provide a comprehensive review of the biology and population status of sea turtles potentially subject to entanglement in North Pacific high-seas driftnet fisheries. The report will assist National Marine Fisheries Service efforts to assess the impacts of the driftnet fisheries on threatened and endangered sea turtle populations.

Abstract: A Final Environmental Statement for the Power Authority of the State of New York for the construction of the Greene County Nuclear Power Plant (Docket No. 50-549) located in Greene County, New York, has been prepared by the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). This statement provides (1) a summary of environmental impact and adverse effects of the proposed facility, and (2) a consideration of principal alternatives. Also included are comments of governmental agencies and other organizations on the Draft Environmental Statement for the project and staff responses to these comments. The NRC staff has concluded, based on a weighing of environmental, economic, technical, and other benefit against environmental costs and available alternatives, that a construction permit should be denied because the alternative sites available to the applicant are environmentally preferable. If the permit is granted, the applicant will be required to take the necessary mitigating actions to decrease the aesthetic impact by using alternative closed cycle cooling systems and to undertake monitoring programs to identify, evaluate and mitigate construction related community and public services impacts in the immediate three-county impact area.

From abstract: This two-part report provides an essentially complete listing of radioactive occurrences in Colorado, with a comprehensive bibliography and bibliographic cross-indexes.

The following document is a collection of reports on the studies of the early Mesozoic basins of the Eastern United States. The reports are divided into four sections: reports that study the sedimentary rocks of the basins, studies of related to Jurassic igneous rocks, studies related to the geophysics, structure, and tectonics of the basins, and studies related to the mineral resources.

Definitive history of the United States National Bureau of Standards.

"Approximately 1000 references to published and unpublished items of geologic literature were selected as being pertinent to engineering problems experienced by the Lower Mississippi Valley Division (LMVD) and its districts. Annotations were prepared for about 600 of the references" (p. vii).

The following report is the second volume on the evaluation of uranium resources and plant siting. This bibliography contains 471 references pertaining to the study described in Vol. 1.

Report on ecological investigations sponsored by U.S. Atomic Energy Commission.

From Abstract: "This bulletin presents results from research and development carried out by the Bureau of Mines on the gas-combustion oil-shale retorting process. Effects of the process variables, results of gas and shale distribution studies, tests on shale particle size, and other details of experimental programs are discussed. Various auxiliary information and problems associated with the retorting process also are included."

From introduction: In this study on raw material sources of uranium the Southern Interstate Nuclear Board has catalogued all known occurrences of uranium and some references to thorium in a 17-state area (P1. 1). These occurrences have been evaluated as potential sources of uranium by the State Geological Surveys and the consultant group of SINB. Favorability guides have been applied to the known occurrences and recommendations have been made for future action by the states involved, federal agencies, or by industry. State recommendations are included in state-by-state summaries. The state reports were written either by personnel of the State Geological Surveys or were abstracted from State geological survey data by members of the consultant group...The purpose of this study was to compile information on and systematically assess uranium and other radioactive occurrences in the region. The SINB undertook the project because of its statutory, interstate capability as an extension of government in each of the 17 states, an arrangement that lends itself effectively to this cooperative undertaking.

From Abstract: "This bulletin summarizes the results of Bureau of Mines investigations of a technique for dewatering clay waste that consists of flocculation with polyethylene oxide (PEO)followed by screening of the resulting flocs. Results of the laboratory tests and small and large scale field tests are described."

Bibliography of unclassified work published by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory during 1972-1976. This volume contains listings of publications, organized by topic, with title, author, and citation information.

From Abstract: "This bulletin describes mineral resources and industries of Arkansas. Items discussed include engineering, geological, and economic features; mineral reserves and resources; uses and markets; and the current status and future potential of mineral commodities available in the State."

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over the oil and gas fields of Wyoming. As stated in the summary, "this study contains individual reports on 271 oil and gas fields in Wyoming. The location of each field is given; and, where available, maps of the fields, surface formations, and elevations" (p. 1).

"In the following report, a new technology is discussed which was first proposed in 1959, but which has been developed mainly since 1964; the in situ production of oil from shale by large underground retorts created by nuclear explosives. The first part of the present report describes this new process; the second part gives an analysis of the United States and the world endowments with crude oil resources and oil shale deposits and finally, the third part deals with expected cost estimates of this new technology as compared with present crude oil prices and potential costs of conventional shale oil production."
