Sediment characteristics of small streams in southern Wisconsin, 1954-59 Sediment characteristics of small streams in southern Wisconsin, 1954-59
The results of investigations of the sediment and water discharge characteristics of Black Earth Creek, Mount Vernon Creek, and Yellowstone River from 1954 to 1959 and Dell Creek for 1958 and 1959 indicate large differences in annual runoff and sediment yields. The suspended-sediment discharge of Black Earth Creek averaged 3,260 tons per year or 71 tons per square mile : the annual...

Geology and hydrology of the Elk River, Minnesota, nuclear-reactor site Geology and hydrology of the Elk River, Minnesota, nuclear-reactor site
The Elk River, Minn., nuclear-reactor site is on the east bluff of the Mississippi River about 35 miles northwest of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The area is underlain by about 70 to 180 feet of glacial drift, including at the top as much as 120 feet of outwash deposits (valley train) of the glacial Mississippi River. The underlying Cambrian bedrock consists of marine sedimentary formations...

Geology and ground-water conditions in the southern part of the Camp Ripley Military Reservation, Morrison County, Minnesota Geology and ground-water conditions in the southern part of the Camp Ripley Military Reservation, Morrison County, Minnesota
The southern part of the Camp Ripley Military Reservation, in central Minnesota, includes an area of about 20 square miles. This investigation was conducted to assist the U.S. National Guard Bureau in locating adequate water supplies for expansion and standby needs. Bedrock in the area consists of Precambrian phyllite which is equivalent to the Virginia slate. The area is covered largely...
