Chemical Trends In The Ice Springs Basalt, Black Rock Desert, Utah, W. C. Lynch, W. P. Nash
Chemical Trends In The Ice Springs Basalt, Black Rock Desert, Utah, W. C. Lynch, W. P. Nash
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The Holocene Ice Springs volcanic field of west-central Utah consists of 0.53 km3 of tholeitic basalts erupted as a sequence of nested cinder cones and associated lava flows. Whole rock x-ray fluorescence and atomic absorption analysis of ninety-six samples of known relative age document statistically significant inter- and intra- eruption chemical variations. Elemental trends include increases in Ti, Fe, Ca, P, and Sr and decreases in Si, K, Rb, Ni, Cr, and Zr with decreasing age. Microprobe analyses of microphenocrysts of olivine, plagioclase, and Fe-Ti oxides and of groundmass olivine, plagioclase, and clinopyroxene indicate limited chemical variation between mineral assemblages …
Assessment Of The Radiological Impact Of The Inactive Uranium-Mill Tailings At Mexican Hat, Utah, F. F. Haywood, W. A. Goldsmith, B. S. Ellis, H. M. Hubbard Jr., W. F. Fox, W. H. Shinpaugh, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Assessment Of The Radiological Impact Of The Inactive Uranium-Mill Tailings At Mexican Hat, Utah, F. F. Haywood, W. A. Goldsmith, B. S. Ellis, H. M. Hubbard Jr., W. F. Fox, W. H. Shinpaugh, Oak Ridge National Laboratory
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
High surface soil concentrations of 226Ra and high above-ground measurements of gamma-ray intensity in the vicinity of the inactive uranium-mill tailings at Mexican Hat show both wind and water erosion of the tailings. The former mill area, occupied by a trade school at the time of this survey, shows a comparatively high level of contamination, probably from unprocessed ore on the surface of the ore storage area near the location of the former mill buildings. However, the estimated health effect of exposure to gamma rays during a 2000-hr work year in the area represents an increase of 0.1% in the …

Hydrologic And Climatologic Data, Southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah And Colorado: Water Year 1978, United States Geological Survey
Hydrologic And Climatologic Data, Southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah And Colorado: Water Year 1978, United States Geological Survey
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
This report contains hydrologic and climatologic data that were collected as part of an investigation of the southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah and Colorado, by the U.S. Geological Survey. The data are mainly for the 1978 water year, which includes the period October 1977-September 1978. Conroy and Fields (1977) reported data collected mainly for water years 1975 and 1976, and Conroy (1979) reported data collected mainly for water year 1977.
Evaluation Of Areas For Off-Road Recreational Motorcycle Use, Volume I: Evaluation Method, United States Army Corps Of Engineers
Evaluation Of Areas For Off-Road Recreational Motorcycle Use, Volume I: Evaluation Method, United States Army Corps Of Engineers
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
To answer user demands for more areas on which to operate off-road recreational motocycles (trailbikes), and to respond to Presidential Executive Orders which require that Federally-owned lands be evaluated for such use, Army land managers need a systematic way of determining land use suitability. This report describes the method developed by the U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) to help installation personnel comply with the policies, procedures, and criteria of Army Regulation (AR) 210-9, Use of Off-Road Vehicles on Army Lands.
Geophysical Well-Log Measurements In Three Drill Holes At Salt Valley, Utah, Jeffrey J. Daniels, Robert J. Hite, James H. Scott, U.S. Geological Survey
Geophysical Well-Log Measurements In Three Drill Holes At Salt Valley, Utah, Jeffrey J. Daniels, Robert J. Hite, James H. Scott, U.S. Geological Survey
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
Three exploratory drill holes were drilled at Salt Valley, Utah, to study the geologic, physical, geochemical, and hydrologic properties of the evaporite sequence in the Permian Paradox Member of the Hermosa Formation. The results of these studies will be used to help to determine the suitability of salt deposits in the Paradox basin as a storage medium for radioactive waste material.

This investigation was undertaken by Dames & Moore, Salt Lake City, Utah, at the request of the U.S. Geological Survey under contract number 14-08-0001-17489. The resource information gathered for this report is in response to the Federal Coal Leasing Amendments Act of 1976 (P.L. 94-377). Published and unpublished public information available through June, 1979, was used as the data base for this study. Neither drilling nor field mapping was performed; nor were any confidential data used.
Reconnaissance Of The Quality Of Surface Water In The San Rafael River Basin, Utah, United States Geological Survey
Reconnaissance Of The Quality Of Surface Water In The San Rafael River Basin, Utah, United States Geological Survey
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
The water-quality reconnaissance of the San Rafael River basin, Utah, encompassed an area of about 2,300 square miles (5,960 square kilometers). Data were obtained by the U.S. Geological Survey one or more times at 116 sites from June 1977 to September 1978. At 19 other sites visited during the same period, the streams were dry. Precipitation and stream discharge were significantly less then normal during 1977 and ranged from less than to more than normal during 1978.
Results Of Test Drilling For Ground Water In The Southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah And Colorado, United States Geological Survey
Results Of Test Drilling For Ground Water In The Southeastern Uinta Basin, Utah And Colorado, United States Geological Survey
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
During 1974, the U.S. Geological Survey began a comprehensive hydrologic study of the oil-shale area in the southeastern Uinta Basin of Utah and Colorado. From 1976 to 1978, six deep test holes were drilled principally to obtain information about aquifers in the Green River Formation of Tertiary age. Information obtained from the drilling project includes description of lithologic samples from core and drill cuttings, temperature and geophysical logs, drilling logs, packer tests, aquifer (pumping and recovery) tests, and analyses of water samples.

Study Of Earthquake Recurrence Intervals On The Wasatch Fault, Utah: Little Cottonwood Canyon Site, F. H. Swan, Iii, Kathryn L. Hanson, David P. Schwartz, Peter L. Knuepfer, U.S. Geological Survey
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
Detailed geologic mapping, topographic profiling, and trenching are being conducted at selected sites along the Wasatch fault zone to measure the cumulative fault displacements in Quaternary strata of various ages and to obtain data regarding the amount of displacement per surface faulting event and the number and recurrence of faulting events that produced the cumulative displacement. These data are used to estimate the frequency of occurrence and magnitude of earthquakes associated with surface faulting along individual segments of the Wasatch fault zone. Investigations have been completed at three sites, the Kaysville, Hobble Creek, and Little Cottonwood Canyon sites. The results …
Evaluation Of Areas For Off-Road Recreational Motorcycle Use, Volume Ii: Alternate Soil Suitability Determination Methods, United States Army Corps Of Engineers
Evaluation Of Areas For Off-Road Recreational Motorcycle Use, Volume Ii: Alternate Soil Suitability Determination Methods, United States Army Corps Of Engineers
All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)
Volume I of this report described how to evaluate the soil suitability of areas for off-road recreational motorcycle (trailbike) use on land under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Army. This soil evaluation method relied on the availability of a recent, detailed soil survey. Since such surveys are not always available, Volume II describes alternative methods of evaluating the suitability of soils for trailbike use. Volume II illustrates and describes seven alternative soil evaluation methods. Each method is defined as more or less useful in terms of its reliability and the ease and speed by which its results may …
