Report regarding ion chamber measurements made of the external environmental radiation in various location in the United States during the summer of 1957.

From Introduction: "This bulletin presents the results of 36 tests made on a 468-horse-power Edge Moor boiler fired with pulverized coal at the Oneida Street Station of the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Co., Milwaukee, Wis."

From Introduction: "This report gives the results of 26 tests of a four-pass Edgemoor boiler fired with powdered coal at the Lakeside station of the Milwaukee Electric Railway & Light Co.

From Introduction: "In connection with the fuel investigations conducted by the Bureau of Mines much information has been accumulated as to the smoke abatement activities in various cities. The essential features of the information are presented in this report, which, it is believed, will be of public interest and benefit, especially to those communities that are just beginning organized effort to abate unnecessary smoke."

From Introduction: "The lack of comparable and accurate statistics of coal-mine accidents in the united States as a whole led the Bureau of Mines in 1911 to undertake the collection of such data. The mining departments of the leading foreign coal-producing countries have long taken cognizance of the importance of statistics. The bureau feels that in presenting the tables embodied in this report it is offering the and comparable statistics of coal-min accidents for the country as a whole that have ever been published."

From Introduction: "Vocalization in retorts has been, until recently, the only commercial process of producing spelter, hence the zinc mine operators have had to meet the terms of the zinc mine operators have had to meet the terms of the zinc smelters in regard to the following requirements: (1) Minimum percentage of zinc the ore must contain; (2) the chemical combination of the zinc in the ore; (3) the proportion present of those elements that interfere with the successful recovery of the zinc when the ore is retorted. As stated previously, and as will be shown later, a large part of the valuable mineral content of the ore is lost in effecting this concentration. As a result of the other requirements that have to be met in zinc smelting, much zinc is lost in the mining and milling of zinc ore."

From Abstract: "The Vacuum-Freezing Vapor-Compression (VFVC) Process was evaluated on high salinity brackish water during the period from February 1968 through December 1969 by Colt Industries Inc., under O.S.W. Contract No. 14-01-0001-967 at Roswell, New Mexico. The 15,000 gpd VFVC test plant is mounted on a mobile trailer which was built by Colt Industries Inc. in their factory at Beloit, Wisconsin. Prior to operation at Roswell, the plant was operated at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina to check out the system and to operate the trailer on sea water." Process Description: "A simplified diagram, Figure 2, shows both the essential components of the process and flow paths of the various streams in the system. Typical heat and mass balances are shown on Figures 3 and 4."

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines on the magnetic base stations located in Minnesota, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The report evaluates the usefulness of the stations for calibration of certain instruments. This report contains tables, graphs, maps, and illustrations.

Report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines discussing the iron-ore mining accident experience in the Lake Superior District. Frequency and severity rates of accidents between 1940 and 1943 are presented. This report includes tables.

Summary of the birds of the St. Croix River Valley, including descriptions of each species' migration status and times of year, nesting season distribution, and habitat.

From introduction: The purpose of this report is to describe the geology of the rocks in the different sedimentary basins in relation to problems of disposal of liquid radioactive wastes in the ground.

From introduction: This report describes the work done and the results obtained during a study of the distribution of zinc and lead in soils, rocks, and natural waters of the southwestern Wisconsin zinc-lead area.

From introduction: This report discusses the general geology of the Upper Mississippi Valley zinc-lead district, the distribution of ore deposits, and some relations of the ore deposits to the major geologic features.

From abstract: The purposes of this report are to determine the low-flow characteristics in the Red Cedar River Basin, where surplus water may be diverted, and to present methods to determine low-flow characteristics at additional sites.

This report presents "low-flow characteristics of streams in the Rock-Fox River basin" in Wisconsin. It includes maps and tables.

From introduction: The purpose of the low-flow characteristics are in some instances affected by the period of record. These characteristics can vary as much as +/- 30 percent at some gaging stations depending on whether or not the severe drought of the 1930's was included in the analysis.

From introduction: The purpose of this report is to describe low-flow characteristics of streams in the lower Wisconsin River basin where streamflow data have been collected and to present equations for estimating low-flow characteristics and ungaged sites.

From introduction: The purpose of this report is to develop and evaluate a method to automate the constant-rate-injection technique, described by Cobb and Bailey, with sufficient accuracy and reliability to determine discharge in storm sewers under rapidly varying flow conditions.

This report focuses on the Nevin Wetland near Madison, Wisconsin and presents a detailed report on the quality of the ground-water, it's components, and what environmental factors influence these components. It includes maps and tables.

From introduction: The purpose of this report is to describe the hydrologic system in the Lake Wingra basin, with particular emphasis on the hydrolic budget of the lake itself.

Report and Geographical Survey. Report uses a streamflow-routing model to simulate the daily flow at Park Falls over the next ten years and includes several illustrations and tables.

From abstract: This report presents the results of biologic investigations by the U.S. Geological Survey and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources during a study of hydrology and water quality in a small drainage basin in the "Driftless Area" of southwest Wisconsin. The investigation included aquatic macrophytes, periphytic and planktonic algae, benthic invertebrates, and trout population dynamics during 1967-78.

From abstract: Four modified nonradioactive-tracer methods and twenty predictive equations for determination of stream-reaeration coefficients (K2) in three small Wisconsin streams were compared with the radioactive-tracker methods developed by Tsivoglu.

From purpose and scope: This report describes the hydrology of selected spring ponds and the effect that dredging has had on the ponds and their surrounding areas. The report emphasizes the water budgets for the ponds, discusses the hydrologic system which contains the ponds, and briefly describes water quality in the study area.
