Investigation of ethylene dibromide (EDB) in ground water in Seminole County, Georgia
An investigation of ground water in Seminole County, Georgia, for ethylene dibromide (EDB) was conducted in August 1983 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Exposure Assessment Branch of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The purpose of the investigation was to determine whether EDB, which was previously detected in ground-water samples from four neighboring wells, was loca

Evaluation of the ground-water resources of coastal Georgia; preliminary report on the data available as of July 1983
A compilation of ground-water data that have been collected for nearly 100 years in the coastal area of Georgia as part of cooperative activities between the U.S. Geological Survey and other agencies is presented in this report. The compilation of pertinent data indicates that information is available for use in the evaluation of the ground-water resources of the 13 counties of coastal Georgia. In

Hydrologic conditions in the Chicod Creek basin, North Carolina, before and during channel modifications, 1975-81
Beginning in late 1978, stream channels throughout the 60-square mile Chicod Creek basin underwent extensive modification to increase drainage efficiency and reduce flooding potential. Drainage modifications in this Coastal Plain basin, consisting primarily of channel excavation and clearing of channel blockages, were completed in December 1981. The hydrologic condition of the basin before and dur

Analysis of the effects of proposed pumping from the principal artesian aquifer, Savannah, Georgia area
A two-dimensional finite-difference model of the principal artesian aquifer in the Savannah, Georgia, area, originally developed by Counts and Krause (1976), has been expanded and refined. The model was updated and the grid redesigned to provide more current and accurate detail for ground-water resources management alternatives. Improvements in the definition of the flow system were made possible

Quality of water from bedrock aquifers in the South Carolina Piedmont
The geographic distributions of 12 common water-quality parameters of ground water from bedrock aquifers in the Piedmont physiographic province of South Carolina are presented in a series of maps. The maps are based on analyses by the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control of water samples taken during the period 1972 to 1982 from 442 public and private wells developed in th

Reconnaissance of water-quality characteristics of streams in the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina
In 1979-81, water samples were collected from 119 sites on streams throughout the City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and were analyzed for specific conductance, dissolved chloride, hardness, pH, total alkalinity, total phosphorus, trace elements, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lead, manganese, mercury, silver, and zinc and biological measures including dissolved o

General description of the hydrology and burial trenches at the low-level radioactive waste burial facility near Barnwell, South Carolina
The Barnwell low-level radioactive solid waste burial site is located in Barnwell County, South Carolina, 5 miles west of the city of Barnwell. Approximately 1,050 feet of stratified gravel, sand, silt, clay, and limestone, ranging in age from Late Cretaceous to Holocene, underlie the burial site. Ground water within the study area occurs under water table, semi-confined, and artesian conditions.

Water-Level Measurements for the Coastal Plain Aquifers of South Carolina Prior to Development
Tabulations of water-level measurements for the Coastal Plain aquifers of
South Carolina representing water levels prior to man-made development are
presented. Included with the tabulations are local well number, location,
land-surface altitude, well depth, screened interval, depth to water, water-
level altitude, and date measured. These water-level measurements were used
in compiling r

Impact of development on availability and quality of ground water in eastern Nassau County, Florida, and southeastern Camden County, Georgia
The primary sources of water in the area are from the surficial and Floridan aquifers. The surficial aquifer, consisting of thin permeable zones of sand, shell, and limestone, provides limited water supplies (10-50 gallons per minute). Its estimated transmissivity ranges from less than 100 to 10,000 feet squared per day. Its water is generally of acceptable quality for most uses, except near the c

Floodflow characteristics of Filbin Creek at proposed interstate highway 526, North Charleston, South Carolina
A study to determine the impact of two alternative construction plans for proposed interchange between the existing Interstate Highway 26 and Interstate Highway 526 in the Filbin Creek drainage basin near North Charleston, South Carolina was performed by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Highways and Public Transportation.
