Precipitation Data for the Mount St. Helens Area, Washington--1981-86 Precipitation Data for the Mount St. Helens Area, Washington--1981-86
This report is a compilation of precipitation data from U.S. Geological Survey telemetered 'Early Flood Warning' sites near Mount St. Helens, Washington, and from telemetered hydrologic data sites in the Toutle River and Muddy River basins for the years 1981-86. It also includes precipitation data for 1981-86 from non-telemetered recording rain gages established near the debris-avalanche

The vertical distribution of selected trace metals and organic compounds in bottom materials of the proposed lower Columbia River export channel, Oregon, 1984 The vertical distribution of selected trace metals and organic compounds in bottom materials of the proposed lower Columbia River export channel, Oregon, 1984
A proposal to deepen the lower Columbia River navigation channel in Oregon prompted a study of the vertical distribution of selected trace metals and organic compounds in bottom sediments. These data are needed to evaluate the effects of dredging and disposal operations. Elutriation testing of bottom material indicated chemical concentrations as large as 900 ug/L for barium, 6,500 ug/L...

Quality of bottom material and elutriates in the lower Willamette River, Portland Harbor, Oregon Quality of bottom material and elutriates in the lower Willamette River, Portland Harbor, Oregon
In October 1983 the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, collected bottom-material and water samples from Portland Harbor, Oregon to determine concentrations of trace metals and organic compounds in elutriate-test filtrate and bottom material. Of the trace metals examined in bottom material, concentrations of cadmium slightly exceed those of local...

Lithology, thickness, and extent of hydrogeologic units underlying the East Portland area, Oregon Lithology, thickness, and extent of hydrogeologic units underlying the East Portland area, Oregon
The lithology, thickness, and extent of eight distinct hydrogeologic units are described and mapped within the East Portland area of Oregon. The thickness, extent, and top of each unit are shown on contour maps at scales of 1:24,000. Their stratigraphic relations are displayed on a diagrammatic cross section. The geologic setting and unit lithology are described within the text. A data...
