Methodology for applying monitored natural attenuation to petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated ground-water systems with examples from South Carolina Methodology for applying monitored natural attenuation to petroleum hydrocarbon-contaminated ground-water systems with examples from South Carolina
Natural attenuation processes such as dispersion, advection, and biogradation serve to decrease concentrations of disssolved contaminants as they are transported in all ground-water systems. However, the efficiency of these natural attenuation processes and the degree to which they help attain remediation goals, varies considerably from site to site. This report provides a methodology...

Assessment of sedimentation in Crowders Creek, York County, South Carolina, 1999-2000 Assessment of sedimentation in Crowders Creek, York County, South Carolina, 1999-2000
Sedimentation in Crowders Creek cove in Lake Wylie, located in York County, South Carolina, has restricted boat navigation and made a boat ramp unusable. To provide baseline information, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the York County Council, collected bathymetric and bed-sediment data in the cove, and streamflow and suspended-sediment data in a free-flowing reach of...

Methods of rating unsaturated zone and watershed characteristics of public water supplies in North Carolina Methods of rating unsaturated zone and watershed characteristics of public water supplies in North Carolina
Overlay and index methods were derived for rating the unsaturated zone and watershed characteristics for use by the State of North Carolina in assessing more than 11,000 public water-supply wells and approximately 245 public surface-water intakes. The rating of the unsaturated zone and watershed characteristics represents a practical and effective means of assessing part of the inherent

Flow-velocity and depth data during peak discharge events at selected bridge crossings in North Carolina, 1964-98 Flow-velocity and depth data during peak discharge events at selected bridge crossings in North Carolina, 1964-98
Flow-velocity and depth data were collected from July 1996 through December 1998 during peak discharge events at 21 bridge crossings that are adjacent to U.S. Geological Survey streamgaging stations in North Carolina. These data were collected during measurements of peak discharges that had recurrence intervals ranging from less than 2 years to about 100 years. The velocity and depth...

Hydrology and water quality of Little Cross Creek, Cumberland County, North Carolina, 1996-98 Hydrology and water quality of Little Cross Creek, Cumberland County, North Carolina, 1996-98
Little Cross Creek is a small stream located in Cumberland County, North Carolina, in the Sand Hills area of the Coastal Plain Province. From August 1996 through August 1998, the U.S. Geological Survey collected streamflow, water-quality, and time-of-travel data at 10 sites in Little Cross Creek Basin to assess ambient conditions and compute loads of suspended sediment, total nitrogen...

Lagtime relations for urban streams in Georgia Lagtime relations for urban streams in Georgia
Urban flood hydrographs are needed for the design of many highway drainage structures, embankments, and entrances to detention ponds. The three components that are needed to simulate urban flood hydrographs at ungaged sites are the design flood, the dimensionless hydrograph, and lagtime. The design flood and the dimensionless hydrograph have been presented in earlier studies for urban...

Water quality in the Santee River basin and coastal drainages, North and South Carolina, 1995-98 Water quality in the Santee River basin and coastal drainages, North and South Carolina, 1995-98
Surface water sampled in the Santee River basin and coastal drainages generally meets existing Federal and State guidelines for drinking-water quality and protection of aquatic life. However, urban and agricultural land uses have affected water quality, as indicated by elevated concentrations of bacteria, pesticides, and nutrients in basins dominated by these land uses.
