[Lake Mineral Wells, 2 of 4]

The dam of Lake Mineral Wells is shown here during a flood, March 1976. A large area of Palo Pinto and Parker counties received heavy rains (up to 7.2 inches in places) during a three-day period. The road directly below the dam was entirely under water, and the effect of water flowing over the road is barely visible. Heavy damage was also reported over a substantial part of the City of Mineral Wells as a result of the downpour.

[Lake Mineral Wells, 4 of 4: The Spillway]

Shown here is the lower end of the spillway from Lake Mineral Wells after the flood in March 1976. The dam is barely visible at the upper end of the spillway in the middle of the picture. The road directly below the dam is under water, and is not visible in any other pictures of this flood. It suffered such severe damage that it had to be rebuilt.

[The Brewer Home]

The Brewer home on East Mountain is shown here, from a picture taken April 4, 1976. It is visible from most of North Oak Avenue. Originally the Murphy Home, the building underwent many renovations during the period of Mr. Murphy's residence. Mr. Murphy was a contractor who built many buildings in Mineral Wells, including the Mineral Wells High School (1914) and the third First Baptist Church. It is a good example of (re-modeled) Neo-classical architecture.

[915 NW 4th Avenue]

This home at 915 NW 4th Avenue was built by Hugh Coleman in 1906. It was the first "Elegant" home built on NW 4th Avenue, and it was designed as an entertainment and social center. The style of the house has been tentatively identified as Italian Renaissance. This house was also home to the John Moore family, and to the family of Gerald Talkington. The photograph of house was taken April 4, 1976. This photograph is to be found on page 183 of "Time Was..." by A. F. Weaver.

Evaluation of Permain salt deposits in the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma for underground storage of radioactive wastes (open access)

Evaluation of Permain salt deposits in the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma for underground storage of radioactive wastes

This report concludes that thick salt deposits of the Palo Duro basin, and, to a lesser extent, those of the Dalhart basin, have many features that would be favorable for underground storage of radioactive waste. The principal parameters used in evaluating these basins for radioactive-waste storage include salt thickness, depth, tectonic and seismic history, lithology, permeability, proximity to aquifers, mineral-resource content, extent of drilling and mining, and remoteness. Properties of salt (halite) that make it desirable as host rock for underground waste emplacement include its low permeability, low moisture content, high plasticity, and high gamma-ray shielding. A thickness of 200 feet of salt-bearing rock is herein considered minimal for insuring isolation of waste material that is buried 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the surface. Emplacement of radioactive-waste products can be accomplished by forming an underground cavern in a salt bed, using standard mining techniques. By creating the cavern about 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the surface, and by backfilling and sealing the cavern after the waste is emplaced, the radioactive material can be effectively isolated. The Permian salt deposits in about 50,000 square miles of the Texas Panhandle and western Oklahoma were studied to determine whether the region contained any …
