Reconnaissance for trace metals in bed sediment, Wright Patman Lake, near Texarkana, Texas Reconnaissance for trace metals in bed sediment, Wright Patman Lake, near Texarkana, Texas
Many contaminants can be introduced into the environment by urban and industrial activities. The drainage area of Wright Patman Lake is influenced by these activities. Among the contaminants associated with urban and industrial activities are trace metals such as arsenic, lead, mercury, and zinc. These contaminants are relatively insoluble in water and commonly are found in stream, lake...

National survey of MTBE and other VOCs in community drinking-water sources National survey of MTBE and other VOCs in community drinking-water sources
Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is a volatile organic compound (VOC) that is added to gasoline either seasonally or year round in many parts of the United States to increase the octane level and to reduce carbon monoxide and ozone levels in the air. The chemical properties and widespread use of MTBE can result in contamination of private and public drinking-water sources. MTBE...

Investigation of Ground-Water Availability and Quality in Orange County, North Carolina Investigation of Ground-Water Availability and Quality in Orange County, North Carolina
A countywide inventory was conducted of 649 wells in nine hydrogeologic units in Orange County, North Carolina. As a result of this inventory, estimates of ground-water availability and use were calculated, and water-quality results were obtained from 51 wells sampled throughout the County from December 1998 through January 1999. The typical well in Orange County has an average depth of...

The trade-off between food and temperature in the habitat choice of bluegill sunfish The trade-off between food and temperature in the habitat choice of bluegill sunfish
A model is presented to describe the trade-off between food and temperature in bluegills Lepomis macrochirus, where temperature was the primary factor used in determining the patch in which to reside.

Contaminant sensitivity of threatened and endangered fishes compared to standard surrogate species Contaminant sensitivity of threatened and endangered fishes compared to standard surrogate species
Standard environmental assessment procedures are designed to protect terrestrial and aquatic species. However, it is not known if endangered species are adequately protected by these procedures. At present, toxicological data obtained from studies with surrogate test fishes are assumed to be applicable to endangered fish species, but this assumption has not been validated. Static acute...
