To help ensure the safety of communities and determine the potential effects of development of coal-bed resources, methane gas concentrations in soils and ground water in Carbon and Emery Counties, Utah, were monitored from 1995 to 2003. A total of 420 samples were collected, which contained an average methane concentration of 2,740 parts per million by volume (ppmv) and a median concentration of less than 10 ppmv. On the basis of spatial and temporal methane concentration data collected during the monitoring period, there does not appear to be an obvious, widespread, or consistent migration of methane gas to the near-surface environment. | | External Link: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2006/3113/PDF/FS2006-3113.pdf | | External Link 2: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2006/3113/ | | Identifier: http://utah.ptfs.com/awweb/guest.jsp?smd=1&cl=all_lib&lb_document_id=33348 | | Show Metadata | | Metadata Record |

Most reservoirs were substantially drained and the soil was parched. In contrast, in September 2005 Utah was finishing a water year that set new records for peak discharge and total annual streamflow. The 2004 water year ended on September 30, 2004. The 2005 water year brought with it a significant change in the weather, beginning with intense rainfall in the Virgin River basin of southwestern Utah. Only minor flooding resulted from this storm; however, it provided soil moisture that would contribute to severe flooding during January 2005. | | External Link: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2006/3085/PDF/FS2006-3085.pdf | | External Link 2: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2006/3085/ | | Identifier: http://utah.ptfs.com/awweb/guest.jsp?smd=1&cl=all_lib&lb_document_id=33347 | | Show Metadata | | Metadata Record |

Browse Document | | Selected hydrologic data for Sand Cove Wash, Washington County, Utah | | Size: 261K | | Creator: Norton, Aaron ; Susong, David D. | | Publisher: Geological Survey (U.S.) | | Agency: U.S. Geological Survey ; U.S. Dept. of the Interior ; Washington County Water District | | Date Published: 2004 | | Pages: 13 p. | | Description: Open-File Report 2004-1328: Southwestern Utah is one of the most arid and fastest growing regions of Utah. Development of new and existing water resources will be required to meet the water needs of the region. Sand Cove Wash, a tributary of the Santa Clara River that flows into Gunlock Reservoir, was investigated as a potential site for diverting peak runoff from the Santa Clara River in order to delay its arrival at the reservoir or to artificially recharge alluvial sediment or the underlying Navajo aquifer. Hydrologic data collected in this study are described and listed in this report. Six boreholes were drilled in Sand Cove Wash to determine the vertical and spatial distribution of the alluvial deposits and their hydrologic properties. Nine to 13 feet of fine alluvial sand is underlain by 50 to 70 feet of fine silt and clay. Core samples were analyzed for specific conductance of leachates, particle-size distribution, and saturated vertical hydraulic conductivity. Specific-conductance values of leachates ranged from 23 to 2,940 microsiemens per centimeter. Vertical hydraulic-conductivity values from selected samples ranged from 1.92 x 10-4 to 2.5 feet per day. | | External Link: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1328/PDF/OF2004_1328.pdf | | External Link 2: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2004/1328/ | | Identifier: http://utah.ptfs.com/awweb/guest.jsp?smd=1&cl=all_lib&lb_document_id=33339 | | Show Metadata | | Metadata Record |

Browse Document | | Calculation of area and volume for the north part of Great Salt Lake, Utah | | Size: 2985K | | Creator: Baskin, Robert L. | | Publisher: Geological Survey (U.S.) | | Agency: U.S. Geological Survey ; U.S. Dept. of the Interior ; Forestry, Fire and State Lands ; Natural Resources | | Date Published: 2006 | | Pages: 6 p. | | Description: Open-File Report 2006-1359: The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands, collected bathymetric data for the north part of Great Salt Lake during the spring and early summer of 2006 using a single-beam, high-definition fathometer and real-time differential global positioning system. About 5.2 million depth measurements were collected along more than 765 miles (1,230 kilometers) of survey transects. Sound-velocity profiles were obtained in conjunction with the bathymetric data to provide time-of-travel corrections to the depth calculations. Data were processed with commercial hydrographic software and exported into geographic information system (GIS) software for mapping and calculation of area and volume. Area and volume calculations show a maximum area of about 385,000 acres (1,560 square kilometers) and a maximum volume of about 5,693,000 acre-feet (about 7 cubic kilometers) at a water-surface altitude of 4,200 feet (1,280 meters). Minimum natural water-surface altitude of the north part of Great Salt Lake is just below 4,167 feet (1,270 meters) in the area just north of the Union Pacific railroad causeway halfway between Saline and the western edge of the lake. The north part of Great Salt Lake generally grades gradually to the west and north and is bounded by steep scarps along its eastern border. Calculations for area and volume are based on a low altitude of 4,167 feet (1,270 meters) to a high altitude of 4,200 feet (1,280 meters). | | External Link: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2006/1359/PDF/ofr2006-1359.pdf | | External Link 2: http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2006/1359/ | | Identifier: http://utah.ptfs.com/awweb/guest.jsp?smd=1&cl=all_lib&lb_document_id=33338 | | Show Metadata | | Metadata Record |

Browse Document | | Principal locations of major-ion, trace-element, nitrate, and Escherichia coli loading to Emigration Creek, Salt Lake County, Utah, October 2005 | | Size: 1448K | | Creator: Kimball, Briant A. ; Runkel, Robert L. ; Walton-Day, Katherine | | Publisher: Geological Survey (U.S.) | | Agency: Salt Lake County (Utah) ; Salt Lake County Public Works ; U.S. Geological Survey ; U.S. Dept. of the Interior | | Date Published: 2008 | | Pages: 43 p. | | Description: Scientific Investigations Report 2008-5043: Housing development and recreational activity in Emigration Canyon have increased substantially since 1980, perhaps causing an observed decrease in water quality of this northern Utah stream located near Salt Lake City. To identify reaches of the stream that contribute to water-quality degradation, a tracer-injection and synoptic-sampling study was done to quantify mass loading of major ions, trace elements, nitrate, and Escherichia coli (E. coli) to the stream. The resulting mass-loading profiles for major ions and trace elements indicate both geologic and anthropogenic inputs to the stream, principally from tributary and spring inflows to the stream at Brigham Fork, Burr Fork, Wagner Spring, Emigration Tunnel Spring, Blacksmith Hollow, and Killyon Canyon. The pattern of nitrate loading does not correspond to the major-ion and trace-element loading patterns. Nitrate levels in the stream did not exceed water-quality standards at the time of synoptic sampling. The majority of nitrate mass loading can be considered related to anthropogenic input, based on the field settings and trends in stable isotope ratios of nitrogen. The pattern of E. coli loading does not correspond to the major-ion, trace-element, or nitrate loading patterns. The majority of E. coli loading was related to anthropogenic sources based on field setting, but a considerable part of the loading also comes from possible animal sources in Killyon Canyon, in Perkins Flat, and in Rotary Park. In this late summer sampling, E. coli concentrations only exceeded water-quality standards in limited sections of the study reach. The mass-loading approach used in this study provides a means to design future studies and to evaluate the loading on a catchment scale. | | External Link: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5043/pdf/sir20085043.pdf | | External Link 2: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5043/ | | Identifier: http://utah.ptfs.com/awweb/guest.jsp?smd=1&cl=all_lib&lb_document_id=34526 | | Show Metadata | | Metadata Record |

The model includes expanded areal boundaries as compared to a previous ground-water flow model of the valley and incorporates more than 20 years of additional hydrologic data. The model boundary was generally expanded to include the bedrock in the surrounding mountain block as far as the surface-water divide. New wells have been drilled in basin-fill deposits near the consolidated-rock boundary. Simulating the hydrologic conditions within the bedrock allows for improved simulation of the effect of withdrawal from these wells. The inclusion of bedrock also allowed for the use of a recharge model that provided an alternative method for spatially distributing areal recharge over the mountains. The model was calibrated to steady- and transient-state conditions. The steady-state simulation was developed and calibrated by using hydrologic data that represented average conditions for 1947. The transient-state simulation was developed and calibrated by using hydrologic data collected from 1947 to 2004. Areally, the model grid is 79 rows by 70 columns, with variable cell size. Cells throughout most of the model domain represent 0.3 mile on each side. The largest cells are rectangular with dimensions of about 0.3 by 0.6 mile. The largest cells represent the mountain block on the eastern edge of the model domain where the least hydrologic data are available. Vertically, the aquifer system is divided into 4 layers which incorporate 11 hydrogeologic units. The model simulates recharge to the ground-water flow system as (1) infiltration of precipitation over the mountain block, (2) infiltration of precipitation over the valley floor, (3) infiltration of unconsumed irrigation water from fields, lawns, and gardens, (4) seepage from streams and canals, and (5) subsurface inflow from Cedar Valley. Discharge of ground water is simulated by the model to (1) flowing and pumping wells, (2) drains and springs, (3) evapotranspiration, (4) Utah Lake, (5) the Jordan River and mountain streams, and (6) Salt Lake Valley by subsurface outflow through the Jordan Narrows. During steady-state calibration, variables were adjusted within probable ranges to minimize differences between model-computed and measured water levels as well as between model-computed and independently estimated flows that include: recharge by seepage from individual streams and canals, discharge by seepage to individual streams and the Jordan River, discharge to Utah Lake, discharge to drains and springs, discharge by evapotranspiration, and subsurface flows into and out of northern Utah Valley from Cedar Valley and to Salt Lake Valley, respectively. The transient-state simulation was calibrated to measured water levels and water-level changes with consideration given to annual changes in the flows listed above. | | External Link: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5049/pdf/sir2008-5049.pdf | | External Link 2: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5049/ | | Identifier: http://utah.ptfs.com/awweb/guest.jsp?smd=1&cl=all_lib&lb_document_id=34500 | | Show Metadata | | Metadata Record |

Browse Document | | Estimation of selenium loads dntering the south arm of Great Salt Lake, Utah, from May 2006 through March 2008 | | Size: 3585K | | Creator: Naftz, David L. ; Johnson, William P. ; Freeman, Michael L. ; Beisner, Kimberly ; Diaz, Ximena ; Cross, VeeAnn A. | | Publisher: Geological Survey (U.S.) | | Agency: University of Utah ; Natural Resources ; Wildlife Resources ; Environmental Quality ; Water Quality ; U.S. Geological Survey ; U.S. Dept. of the Interior | | Date Published: 2009 | | Pages: 50 p. | | Description: Scientific Investigations Report 2008-5069: Discharge and water-quality data collected from six streamflow-gaging stations were used in combination with the LOADEST software to provide an estimate of total (dissolved + particulate) selenium (Se) load to the south arm of Great Salt Lake (GSL) from May 2006 through March 2008. Total estimated Se load to GSL during this time period was 2,370 kilograms (kg). The 12-month estimated Se load to GSL for May 1, 2006, to April 30, 2007, was 1,560 kg. During the 23-month monitoring period, inflows from the Kennecott Utah Copper Corporation (KUCC) Drain and Bear River outflow contributed equally to the largest proportion of total Se load to GSL, accounting for 49 percent of the total Se load. Five instantaneous discharge measurements at three sites along the railroad causeway indicate a consistent net loss of Se mass from the south arm to the north arm of GSL (mean = 2.4 kg/day, n = 5). Application of the average daily loss rate equates to annual Se loss rate to the north arm of 880 kg (56 percent of the annual Se input to the south arm). The majority of Se in water entering GSL is in the dissolved (less than 0.45 micron) state and ranges in concentration from 0.06 to 35.7 micrograms per liter (µg/L). Particulate Se concentration ranged from less than 0.05 to 2.5 µg/L. Except for the KUCC Drain streamflow-gaging station, dissolved (less than 0.45 um) inflow samples contain an average of 21 percent selenite (SeO32-) during two sampling events (May 2006 and 2007). Selenium concentration in water samples collected from four monitoring sites within GSL during May 2006 through August 2007 were used to understand how the cumulative Se load was being processed by various biogeochemical processes within the lake. On the basis of the Mann-Kendall test results, changes in dissolved Se concentration at the four monitoring sites indicate a statistically significant (90-percent confidence interval) upward trend in Se concentration over the 16-month monitoring period. Furthermore, the upward trend at three of the four GSL sites also was significant at the 95-percent confidence interval. Given the large amount of Se removal from GSL of greater than 1,900 kg/year by gaseous flux and permanent sedimentation, the observed increase in both dissolved (less than 0.45 micron) and total (dissolved + particulate) Se in the open-water monitoring sites indicates additional, unquantified source(s) of Se are contributing substantial masses of Se load to the south arm of GSL. Potential source(s) of this unmeasured Se load could include (1) Se loads entering GSL from unmeasured surface inflows; (2) ground-water discharge to GSL; (3) wind-blown dust that is deposited directly on the lake surface; (4) wet and dry atmospheric deposition falling directly on the lake surface; and (5) lake sediment pore-water diffusion into the overlying water column. Electrical resistivity surveys in the south part of GSL indicate areas of potential ground-water discharge to the open water of GSL and elevated (exceeding 10,000 µg/L) Se concentrations have been previously measured in ground water within 1.6 kilometers of the south shore of GSL. | | External Link: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5069/sir20085069.pdf | | External Link 2: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5069/ | | Identifier: http://utah.ptfs.com/awweb/guest.jsp?smd=1&cl=all_lib&lb_document_id=34463 | | Show Metadata | | Metadata Record |

Browse Document | | Assessment of nonpoint source chemical loading potential to watersheds containing uranium waste dumps associated with uranium exploration and mining, San Rafael Swell, Utah | | Size: 2041K | | Creator: Freeman, Michael L. ; Naftz, David L. ; Snyder, Terry ; Johnson, Greg | | Publisher: Geological Survey (U.S.) | | Agency: U.S. Bureau of Land Management ; U.S. Geological Survey ; U.S. Dept. of the Interior | | Date Published: 2008 | | Pages: 38 p. | | Description: Scientific Investigations Report 2008-5110: During July and August of 2006, 117 solid-phase samples were collected from abandoned uranium waste dumps, geologic background sites, and adjacent streambeds in the San Rafael Swell, in southeastern Utah. The objective of this sampling program was to assess the nonpoint source chemical loading potential to ephemeral and perennial watersheds from uranium waste dumps on Bureau of Land Management property. Uranium waste dump samples were collected using solid-phase sampling protocols. After collection, solid-phase samples were homogenized and extracted in the laboratory using a field leaching procedure. Filtered (0.45 micron) water samples were obtained from the field leaching procedure and were analyzed for Ag, As, Ba, Be, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, Sb, Se, U, V, and Zn at the Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry Metals Analysis Laboratory at the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah and for Hg at the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Laboratory, Denver, Colorado. For the initial ranking of chemical loading potential of suspect uranium waste dumps, leachate analyses were compared with existing aquatic life and drinking-water-quality standards and the ratio of samples that exceeded standards to the total number of samples was determined for each element having a water-quality standard for aquatic life and drinking-water. Approximately 56 percent (48/85) of the leachate samples extracted from uranium waste dumps had one or more chemical constituents that exceeded aquatic life and drinking-water-quality standards. Most of the uranium waste dump sites with elevated trace-element concentrations in leachates were along Reds Canyon Road between Tomsich Butte and Family Butte. Twelve of the uranium waste dump sites with elevated trace-element concentrations in leachates contained three or more constituents that exceeded drinking-water-quality standards. Eighteen of the uranium waste dump sites had three or more constituents that exceeded trace-element concentrations for aquatic life water-quality standards. The proximity of the uranium waste dumps in the Tomsich Butte area near Muddy Creek, coupled with the elevated concentration of trace elements, increases the offsite impact potential to water resources. Future assessment and remediation priority of these areas may be done by using GIS-based risk-mapping techniques, such as Sensitive Catchment Integrated Mapping and Analysis Project. | | External Link: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5110/pdf/sir20085110.pdf | | External Link 2: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sir/2008/5110/ | | Identifier: http://utah.ptfs.com/awweb/guest.jsp?smd=1&cl=all_lib&lb_document_id=34367 | | Show Metadata | | Metadata Record |
