From introduction: Under the general supervision of the Health Division of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, the U.S. Geological Survey is participating in geologic and hydrologic studies of the tile field constructed in Jackass Flats in the southwestern part of the Nevada Test Site as related to waste disposal, M. D. Shutler rendered valuable assistance in obtaining and evaluating portions of the data in this report. These investigations were done on behalf of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and were supported by the Division of Reactor Development and by the Albuquerque Operations Office.

Introduction: The United States Atomic Energy Commission is considering the establishment of a townsite in the vicinity of Mercury, Nevada, to facilitate operations at the Nuclear Rocket Development Station on the Nevada Test Site.

From operational program: This final report includes a general geologic description of the area, including descriptions of the various geologic units and correlates the airborne data to the geologic units as provided by the geologic maps. Also included is a frequency distribution study of the data as a function of the geologic units encountered over the NTMS area including the tie line data.

Abstract: The Valley of Fire-Muddy Mountains region, located 20 to 30 miles northeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, was given approximately 25-percent airborne radioactive coverage during the fall of 1954. Rocks in the area range from Cambrian to Miocene in age. Uranium was known to occur at two sedimentary horizons at the time the airborne program began. One new uranium-bearing sedimentary horizon was discovered by the airborne reconnaissance. Of 15 anomolies detected, only 11 were posted as the remainder were claimed at the time of the survey.

"The purpose of this profile is to summarize the ecological information available for and relevant to stream and riparian habitats of the Great Basin. The Great Basin comprises the northern half of the Basin and Range physiographic province and covers most of Nevada and western Utah and portions of California, Oregon, and Idaho. The entire basin actually consists of numerous subbasins and mountain ranges which present an extremely diverse physical setting" (p. iii).

From introduction: This report contains part of the geologic information obtained from investigations conducted by the USGS on behalf of the AEC to determine the geologic environment of the underground test sites at Nevada Test Site.

From introduction: The maps and tables comprising this report are being transmitted at this time to provide interested users with a summary of the geology of the Ul2e tunnel system. The system was constructed to provide access to underground test sites. This report contains part of the geologic information obtained from investigations conducted by the U. S. Geological Survey to determine the geologic environment of the underground test sites. Results of geophysical and radiometric surveys, and physical properties are being studied. This work was done on behalf of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission.

"The surficial deposits of Yucca Flat, divided into eleven units, are shown at a scale of 1:48,000 (fig. 1A). Major rock types of the bordering bedrock areas are indicated, as are the lithologies of portions of the surficial units. The map explanation (fig. 1B) includes a description of the surficial units."

The following report summarizes the hydrologic data collected during the nuclear detonation, the Bilby event, that took place in the U3cn emplacement hole.

Abstract: "Recent request for new sites has prompted an overall review of the Pahute Mesa area. The criteria used in this review are that the geology must be favorable and that horizontal spacing of emplacement holes being developed should be 2.5 to 3 times hole depth. The review shows that current emplacement requirements have exhausted available explored sites and have effectively eliminated 90 percent of the blocks of ground geologically favorable for chambered sites."
