Water-Resources Setting, Martin County, Florida (open access)

Water-Resources Setting, Martin County, Florida

From introduction: This report describes some basic principles of hydrology as they apply to Martin County. The major land features of the county are described first, then the hydrologic cycle and the county's surface-water and ground-water resource. Specific problems associated with population growth and the county's development, such as saltwater intrusion and water use, are sited and sections have been included in the report to deal with these problems.

Geohydrologic Evaluation of a Landfill in a Coastal Area, St. Petersburg, Florida (open access)

Geohydrologic Evaluation of a Landfill in a Coastal Area, St. Petersburg, Florida

Purpose and scope: This reports presents the results of a 2-year investigation by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the city of St. Petersburg, to evaluate geohydrologic conditions at a landfill in a coastal area. The report defines and describes the geologic and geohydrologic units underlying the landfill, and examines the controls these units exert on the flow and quality of surface and ground water in the area. The study increases the understanding of the geohydrologic aspects of landfill operations and will be helpful in the selection of future landfill sites in similar coastal areas.

Subsurface Geology and Paleogeography of Queens County, Long Island, New York (open access)

Subsurface Geology and Paleogeography of Queens County, Long Island, New York

Abstract: Unconsolidated strata of clay, silt, sand, and gravel of Late Cretaceous and pre-Wisconsin Pleistoscene ages lie between crystalline basement rocks (bedrock) of Precambrian (?) age and unconsolidated deposits of late Pleistocene (Wisconsin) and Holocene ages in Queens County, Long Island, N.Y., a borough of New York City. Data collected during a recent study of the hydrogeology of the county and updated records of earlier studies have been used to prepare contour maps that delineate the surfaces of the bedrock and the Upper Cretaceous and pre-Wisconsin Pleistocene deposits. The presence of diabase fragments, apparently from the Hudson Palisades, in a buried valley through the county suggests that the ancestral Hudson River was diverted into Queens County in Pleistocene.
