From introduction: The purpose of the study was to describe the differences between ponds that developed within and abandoned mine site and in control ponds not affected by mining.

Introduction: This report describes areas of granitic rocks suitable for underground nuclear tests within Federally-controlled land in the continental limits of the United States. This information was requested of the U. S. Geological Survey by the Albuquerque Operations Office of the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, and was compiled during March 1959 by D. C. Alvord, W. J. Carr, P. M. Hanshaw, S. P. Kanizay, C. S. Robinson, R. W. Schnabel, J. A. Sharps, and C. T. Wrucke.

This report presents the water-quality data of Raystown Lake, Pennsylvania, discussing its physical, biological, and chemical properties. This report also includes several tables and figures.

The following report summarizes the known information to date of June 1961 on the Sand Range as it pertains to the Shoal experiments.

Abstract: Procedures are presented in detail of two methods for the determination of very small percentages of uranium (down to 0.002%). The methods are applicable to a wide variety of materials. Notes on the methods and confirmatory experiments are also given.

From abstract: A sequence of slightly radioactive Pliocene(?) rocks in the Split Rock area of central Wyoming is at least 600 feet thick, underlies an area of more than 25 square miles, and consists of alternating beds of tuffaceous shale, sandstone, and pumicite. Only a small part of the section has been examined. In addition to the uranium content of the strata, there has been secondary concentration of uranium in brecciated limestone similar to spring deposits that could be of Pliocene or Pleistocene age.

Abstract: The Tioga River and its major tributaries were sampled monthly from September 1973 to May 1975. Water quality in the Tioga River is degraded by acid-mine drainage entering the stream near Blossburg from both strip- and deep-mined areas. The stream supports few species of aquatic life from Blossburg to its confluence with Crooked Creek- Alkaline water of tributaries Mill Creek, Crooked Creek, and the Cowanesque River counteract the acidity carried downstream from Blossburg, and ·the water-quality of the Tioga River gradually improves, supporting a more diversified population of fish and aquatic life. Relationships between selected water-quality parameters have been developed for the sampling stations throughout the basin. Downstream trends were also examined. The relationships will be further refined and implemented in predictive water-quality models as more data are collected.

A report about commercial production of rugged portable radioactivity detectors. The objective in all cases is to use the fastest and most productive method of detecting radioactive deposits in a given area.

Abstract: The discharge-weighted average concentrations of dissolved solids, chloride, and sulfate for many of the principal streams in Texas are less than 500 mg/1 (milligrams per liter), 250 mg/1, and·250 mg/1, respectively. At 65 of 131 sites on streams that were sampled at least 10 times, the biochemical oxygen demand of at· least half the samples exceeded 3,0 mg/1. At 20 of the sites, the dissolved-oxygen content of at least !half the samples was less than 5.0_ mg/1. The higher concentrations of minor elements usually were detected in waters from urban areas, indicating a relation to man's activities. Small amounts of some pesticides are widely distributed in low concentrations. The higher concentrations usually were detected in waters from urban areas. Small amounts of some of the pesticides studied are widely distributed in surface waters in Texas. Some of the more widely distributed pesticides were 2,4,5-T at 96 sites, diazinon at 80 sites, 2,4-D at 78 sites, dieldrin at 77 sites, Silvex at 47 sites, DDT at 67 sites, lindane at 59 sites, DDD at 51 sites, DDE at SO sites, and chlordane at 38 sites.

Report discussing the U.S. Geological Survey's analysis of radioactive rocks collected from Nevada before 1952.

Report discussing the uranium content evaluation of coals and shales collected in eastern Ohio. Information regarding the scope of the investigation, stratigraphy of the areas of collection, results of the radioactivity evaluation, and conclusions are included.

Report discussing an investigation of radioactivity in part of Clear Creek County, Front Range, Colorado. The methods and results of the reconnaissance are included. Veins containing chalcopyrite were found to be the best source of radioactivity in the region.

From introduction: This report details the reconnaissance for uraniferous lignites in North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming during 1948 and 1949.
