A supplementary report on Inter River District Green River Desert Area, Utah, regarding a careful estimation of the potential pore reserves of the area.

Report issued by the Bureau of Mines over diamond-drilling projects in Salt Lake County. The geology, physical features, and history of the mines are presented. This report includes tables, maps, illustrations, and photographs.

Several relatively small copper-uranium deposits have been found in southwestern Utah along the contact of the Shinarump and Moenkopi formations of Triassic age, at least from the San Rafael Swell area of Emery County, southward through central and eastern Garfield County, southwestward into western Kane County, and westward into the southern part of Washington County.

From introduction: Preliminary field data have been assembled as a background for laboratory investigations directed toward interpretation of alteration features in the East Slope area. Such data constitute one of several units which should improve our understanding of the pattern of uranium distribution.

Preliminary results of geological studies done in the Capitol Reef area during the 1951 field season.

From abstract: These results demonstrate that the self-potential method is not satisfactory for locating and delineating sulfide-bearing uranium ore bodies under conditions similar to those in the Happy Jack area.

From abstract: The purpose of the survey was twofold: to determine the trend of the Hideout Channel across Deer Flat and to delineate fractures cutting through the ore deposit at the Hideout mine.

Report discussing the investigation of the chemical composition of sandstone-type uranium ores and unmineralized sandstones of the Colorado Plateau. Spectrographic and chemical analyses was used.

From abstract: A refraction seismic survey was made on Holiday Mesa, San Juan County, Utah, between May 21 and June 11, 1954, prior to an exploratory drilling program made by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission to delineate channel trends in the area.

Discussing a geologic reconnaisance performed to determine the uranium potential of the Inter-River area

From approach: This survey consisted of aerial gamma-ray spectrometer and magnet-meter data collection including: (1) Coverage of those portions of the Delta, Utah NTMS 1:250,000 scale quadrangle (Figure 1-1) which were not surveyed in 1976 under Bendix Field Engineering Corporation subcontract No. 76-019-L, Texas Instruments (1977a). (2) Reflights of portions of the 1976 flight lines which were out of altitude specifications. (3) Extra flight lines over the 1976 survey area to provide complete detailed coverage of the NW quarter of the quadrangle. The program also included processing and interpretation of the gamma-ray spectrometer data necessary to indicate potential new uranium prospecting areas.

This is an aerial reconnaissance survey report of the Delta Quadrangle in Utah.

This document presents the US DOE water resources protection strategy for the Green River, Utah mill tailings disposal site. The modifications in the original plan are based on new information, including ground water quality data collected after remedial action was completed, and on a revised assessment of disposal cell design features, surface conditions, and site hydrogeology. All aspects are discussed in this report.

Concerns over fluctuating oil prices and declining petroleum production worldwide have revived interest in oil shale as a potential resource. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-58) identified oil shale as a strategically important domestic resource and directed the Department of the Interior to promote commercial development. Oil shale development would require significant amounts of water, however, and water supply in the Colorado River Basin, where several oil shale reserves are located, is limited. This report will provide a brief overview of water rights in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, including changes that may be made to currently held water rights and the possibility for abandonment of unused water rights.
