National Lakes Assessment 2022 Datafiles for Report " National Lakes Assessment: The Fourth Collaborative Survey of Lakes in the United States”

The National Lakes Assessment (NLA) is a statistical survey of the condition of our nation's lakes, ponds, and reservoirs. It is designed to provide information on the extent of lakes that support healthy biological condition and recreation, estimate how widespread major stressors are that impact lake quality, and provide insight into whether lake quality is improving or getting worse. 

This dataset is an archived (zipped) file comprised of chemical, physical and biological files used in developing the NLA 2022 report. Sampling was conducted in the summer of 2022 at approximately 1000 sites in the conterminous U.S. Sites were selected using a statistical survey (probabilistic) design. The files include water chemistry, profile data, benthic macroinvertebrates, physical habitat, landscape metrics, secchi depth, tropic status, zooplankton, etc. Users are encouraged to visit the NARS data webpage for updates to data files and data from other surveys. https://www.epa.gov/national-aquatic-resource-surveys/data-national-aquatic-resource-surveys

Baseline System Costs for a 50 MW Enhanced Geothermal System 2012

Substantial unexploited opportunity exists for the US, and the world, in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS).  This cost analysis study provides a baseline cost for a 50 MW Geothermal Power Plant in a challenging New England environment.  The study then assesses how project costs would change as a function of (1) geothermal working fluid, that is, CO2 vs. water, (2) drilling technology, (3) CO2 generation technology, and (4) other geographic locations.

McGee Mountain Geoprobe Study, Humboldt County, Nevada

Geoprobes were developed by the environmental industry to collect water, gas and soil samples from contaminated sites at shallow depths (10-40 meters), with a minimum of environmental disturbance. A modified Geoprobe was used to collect bottom hole temperatures, and attempt to collect geothermal water samples, at the McGee Mountain geothermal property in Humboldt County, Nevada. A total of 23 holes were probed in five days for a cumulative total of 857.5 ft. at 21 sites at the project area. The probed holes ranged in depth from a maximum of 75ft to a minimum of 10ft and averaged 37.3ft. The average temperature of the 23 holes was 18.9 degrees C, corrected(from an average of 23.8 degrees C, uncorrected) with a range of 42.0 degrees C (site MMTG#19) for a maximum and 12.0 degrees C, corrected (site MMTG#1b). Since the water table was not encountered in any hole, no down-hole water samples were collected. However, water sampling was conducted at nearby springs and wells. PDF file, 15 MB file size.

McGee Mountain Geoprobe Survey, Humboldt County, Nevada

This shapefile contains location and attribute data for a Geoprobe temperature survey conducted by Geothermal Technical Partners, Inc. during 2010. The purpose of direct push technology (DPT) probe activity at the McGee Mtn. Project, Nevada was to 1) determine bottom hole temperatures using nominal 1.5 inch probe tooling to place resistance temperature detectors (RTD) and 2) take water samples, if possible, to characterize the geothermometry of the system.

A total of 23 holes were probed in five days for a cumulative total of 857.5 ft. at 21 sites at McGee Mountain.  The probed holes ranged in depth from a maximum of 75 ft to a minimum of 10 ft and averaged 37.3 ft. The average temperature of the 23 holes was 18.9 degrees C, with a range of 12.0 degrees C at site MMTG#1b to 42.0 degrees C at site MMTG#19. . No water was encountered in any of the probed holes, with the exception of MMTG#10, and no water was collected for sampling.

McGee Mountain Shallow (2m) Temperature Survey, Humboldt County, Nevada 2009

This shapefile contains location and attribute data for a shallow (2 meter) temperature survey conducted by Geothermal Technical Partners, Inc. during late 2008 and early 2009. Temperatures at 2m depth were measured at 192 separate points as outlined by Coolbaugh et al., 2007. The purpose of the survey was to try and detect a shallow thermal anomaly associated with the McGee Mountain geothermal area as discovered by Phillips Petroleum and Earth Power Resources in the late 1970s. Drilling identified ~120 degree C temperatures at ~100m depth. This 2-meter survey delineated what was interpreted as a steam-heated fault zone centered along a range front fault in the vicinity of the drilled holes and fumaroles.
