Hydrology of Area 5, Eastern Coal Province, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia Hydrology of Area 5, Eastern Coal Province, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and West Virginia

Hydrologic data are presented for area 5 of the Eastern Coal Province, the 7,384 square-mile Monongahela River basin in western Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and north-central West Virginia. One hundred thirty-four streams were sampled about three times during the 1979 and 1980 water years for specific conductance, pH, acidity, alkalinity dissolved and total iron, dissolved and total...

Preimpoundment water quality in the Tioga River Basin, Pennsylvania and New York Preimpoundment water quality in the Tioga River Basin, Pennsylvania and New York

The water quality in the Tioga River basin was studied from September 1973 to September 1978, prior to impoundment by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Results of the investigation will be used in the operation of three reservoirs that were in the final stages of construction in late 1979. Annual suspended-sediment yields for the basin averaged 575 tons per square mile. Mill Creek near...

An evaluation of the effects of acid rain on low conductivity headwater streams in Pennsylvania An evaluation of the effects of acid rain on low conductivity headwater streams in Pennsylvania

Analyses of water collected at 32 sites on headwater streams in Pennsylvania during low-flow conditions in 1970-80 were compared to pre-1971 data to evaluate whether acid rain had changed the chemistry of the streams in the previous decade. Most pH, alkalinity, and sulfate values of the samples collected in 1970-80 fell within the ranges of values for samples collected before 1971. The...

Water resources data for Pennsylvania, water year 1980. Volume 3: Ohio River and St. Lawrence River basins Water resources data for Pennsylvania, water year 1980. Volume 3: Ohio River and St. Lawrence River basins

Water resources data for the 1980 water year for Pennsylvania consist of records of discharge and water quality of streams; elevation and contents of lakes and reservoirs; and water levels of ground-water wells. This volume contains records for water discharge at 82 gaging stations; elevations and contents at 22 lakes and reservoirs; water quality at 28 gaging stations; and water levels...

Quality of surface water in the coal-mining areas of western Maryland and adjacent areas of Pennsylvania and West Virginia from April 1979 to June 1980 Quality of surface water in the coal-mining areas of western Maryland and adjacent areas of Pennsylvania and West Virginia from April 1979 to June 1980

The U.S. Geological Survey is studying the water quality of streams within the Eastern Coal Province. This report contains streamflow, water-quality, and biologic data collected in the North Branch Potomac River basin and in the Maryland portion of the Youghiogheny and Casselman River basins. Data collected from 64 streams from April 1979 to June 1980 are presented in tables. Other...

Work plan for the Schuylkill River basin, Pennsylvania: Assessment of river quality as related to the distribution and transport of trace metals and organic substances Work plan for the Schuylkill River basin, Pennsylvania: Assessment of river quality as related to the distribution and transport of trace metals and organic substances

The U.S. Geological Survey is making a river-quality assessment of the Schuylkill River basin in Pennsylvania from October 1978 to March 1981. It is part of a continuing program designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of river-quality studies for basin planning and water-resource management. Study objectives include determining (1) presence of selected trace metals and organic...

Suspended-sediment discharge in five streams near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before, during, and after highway construction Suspended-sediment discharge in five streams near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, before, during, and after highway construction

Rainfall, streamflow, sediment, and turbidity data were collected as part of a study to evaluate the effects of highway construction on suspended-sediment discharges in streams. The study was also designed to evaluate the effectiveness of different erosion-control measures in reducing sediment discharge. Although highway construction increased suspended-sediment discharges from two to...
