Directional Properties Of P-Wave Velocities And Acoustic Anisotropy In Different Structural Domains Of The Northern Barbados Ridge Accretionary Prism Complex, Bernard A. Housen, W. Bruckmann, K. Moran Aug 1998

Directional Properties Of P-Wave Velocities And Acoustic Anisotropy In Different Structural Domains Of The Northern Barbados Ridge Accretionary Prism Complex, Bernard A. Housen, W. Bruckmann, K. Moran

Geology Faculty Publications

Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) Leg 156 revisited the northern Barbados Ridge, where the previous Deep Sea Drilling Program Leg 78A and ODP Leg 110 studied the frontal part of this accretionary prism. Drilling and logging-while-drilling at Sites 947, 948, and 949 successfully identified major thrust faults and the décollement, which was the target of several downhole experiments. Two of the eight holes drilled were equipped with borehole observatories that will monitor temperature, pressure, and fluid flow over the next years. Coring at Hole 948C recovered 180 m of sediment, centered around the décollement, which was positively identified based on structural …


Ground And Surface Water Interaction Near A Plywood Manufacturing Facility On The Lake Roosevelt Shoreline, Kettle Falls, Washington, Paul W. D. Humphreys Jan 1998

Ground And Surface Water Interaction Near A Plywood Manufacturing Facility On The Lake Roosevelt Shoreline, Kettle Falls, Washington, Paul W. D. Humphreys

WWU Graduate School Collection

From April 1994 to December 1996, a water quality investigation was performed at the Boise Cascade Plywood Plant in Kettle Falls, Washington. This investigation was required by the Washington Department of Ecology to assess possible contamination from the process water lagoon and wet log storage area on the groundwater and nearby Lake Roosevelt. Water samples were collected from 11 groundwater monitoring wells, the lagoon, and two lake-shore seeps, and the samples were analyzed for a variety of chemical parameters. Water elevation data were also collected to evaluate the physical nature of the interaction between ground and surface water. The primary …


Dairy Farming And The Effects Of Agricultural, Nonpoint-Source Pollution On Stream Water Quality, Johnson Creek Watershed, Whatcom County, Washington, Max Thomas Wills Jan 1998

Dairy Farming And The Effects Of Agricultural, Nonpoint-Source Pollution On Stream Water Quality, Johnson Creek Watershed, Whatcom County, Washington, Max Thomas Wills

WWU Graduate School Collection

The Johnson Creek watershed, which supports one of the highest densities of dairy farms in Washington State, suffers from degraded stream water quality, primarily in the form of high fecal coliform concentrations, elevated nutrients, and low levels of dissolved oxygen. Despite the implementation of best management practices (BMPs) over the past two decades, poor stream water quality has persisted. The Washington State Department of Ecology (DOE) is therefore required under section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act, to establish a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) policy for the basin as a means of remediating the impaired water bodies. The …
