Storm-Impact Scenario XBeach Model Results – Scenario 7 Digital Elevation Model (DEM) Grid

The numerical model XBeach (version 4937) was used to investigate how different storm scenarios impact the sediment berm constructed offshore of the Chandeleur Islands and adjacent areas. The XBeach model solves coupled 2-dimensional, horizontal wave propagation equations to predict flow, sediment transport, and bottom changes for varying spectral wave and flow boundary conditions (Roelvink and others, 2009 ). The XBeach model setup requires the input of a merged topographic and bathymetric DEM, and inputs of wave spectra (based on significant wave height, peak wave period, and wave direction) and water level (tide and surge) time series at the seaward model boundary that span the duration of each storm bin. The Xbeach model input and output of topography and bathymetry resulting from simulation of storm-impact scenarios at the Chandeleur Islands, LA, as described in USGS Open-File Report 2017–1009 are provided via a USGS data release (storm scenario bins where no events were observed are excluded). For further information regarding model input generation and visualization of model output topography and bathymetry, refer to Mickey and others (2017).

Medusahead Phenology estimates in the Snake River Plain and Northern Basin and Range based on 30-m HLS NDVI (ver. 1.0)

Phenological dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems reflect the response of the Earth's vegetation canopy to changes in climate and hydrology and are thus important to monitor operationally. The medusahead phenology in the Snake River Plain (SRP) and Northern Basin and Range (NBR) based on 30m near seamless Harmonized Landsat and Sentinel-2 (HLS) Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) weekly composites between 2016 and 2022 (Dahal et al., 2022) were processed using a 3 step method. We first identified a set of points to derive an HLS NDVI timeseries based on high probability of cheatgrass and medusahead cover. Second, we extracted the phenological metrics used for training the models by applying a decision tree processing technique on the NDVI timeseries. Finally, we utilized automated machine learning techniques to derive phenological models that were used to develop maps for the entire study area per 30-m pixel. The medusahead phenology model produced three metrics (Start of Season Time (SOST), End of Season Time (EOST), and Maximum Time (MAXT)) and calculated five metrics for identifying the sustained growth characteristics of medusahead throughout SRP and NBR ecoregions. The current suites of 30-m spatial resolution phenological metrics are SOST; Start of Season NDVI (SOSN); EOST; End of Season NDVI (EOSN); Maximum Time (MAXT); Maximum NDVI (MAXN); Duration (DUR); and Amplitude (AMP). Datasets 2017 to 2021 were developed using decision tree analysis training data from their respective year, but 2022 was developed from unseen NDVI datasets to test robustness of the phenology model.

Data from Soil and Storm Water Runoff Samples for the Evaluation of Butyl Acrylate Vinyl Acetate in an Arid Environment, Clark County, Nevada

This U.S. Geological Survey data release contains data from soil and storm water samples collected in and around areas in southern Nevada where a polymer-based dust palliative was applied. The applied palliatives were FSB-1000 (Soil Tech, 2012) or Soil-Sement (Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc., 2001) which contain water and the co-polymer butyl acrylate vinyl acetate (BAVA). Samples were collected during and after the construction of two solar energy facilities and on a mining access road in the Mojave Desert from 2016 to 2020. 
Two tables are presented: 1) concentrations of BAVA and ancillary data from all samples (BAVA_conc.csv), and 2) background-adjusted gel permeation size selective chromatography data from the samples in which BAVA was detected (BAVA_chromatography.csv).

Phosphorus and nitrogen cycling in streambed and suspended sediment in Bois Brule and Siskiwit Rivers WI, 2021-2023 Data

Lake Superior is historically a nutrient poor lake that does not typically support significant cyanobacterial blooms. However, the lake has been experiencing an increase in blooms in the western portion of the basin recently. The largest blooms documented have occurred after recent major flooding events, indicating that nutrients transported to the lake during these events may be a source for the blooms. This study looks into the combination of streambed sediment-derived nutrient data during base flow conditions and suspended and settled sediment-derived nutrient data from storm events to provide information about nutrient transformation and storage in the river networks of the Bois Brule River and Siskiwit River watersheds, both tributaries of western Lake Superior.

Great Lakes Restoration Initiative: Nutrient cycling in riverbed sediment in the Maumee River Basin, 2021 Data

The Maumee River transports huge loads of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) to Lake Erie. The increased concentrations of N and P are causing eutrophication of the lake, creating hypoxic zones, and contributing to phytoplankton blooms. It is hypothesized that the P loads are a major contributor to harmful algal blooms that occur in the western basin of Lake Erie, particularly in summer. The Maumee River has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a priority watershed where action needs to be taken to reduce nutrient loads. This study quantified rates of biogeochemical processes affecting downstream flux of N and P by 1) measuring indices of potential sediment P retention and 2) measuring nitrification and ambient and potential denitrification throughout the Maumee River Basin. Data generated from this project will inform models that estimate P retention and N removal potential in the basin and watershed models that simulate the effects of different conservation practices on the landscape.

Estimated water surface elevations for selected monthly flow exceedance percentiles for Firesteel Creek upstream from Lake Mitchell in Davison County, South Dakota, 2021

The City of Mitchell, South Dakota is exploring ways to improve water quality in Firesteel Creek, which flows into Lake Mitchell. One possible way is to construct a wetland on City-owned land in the Firesteel Creek floodplain above Lake Mitchell, allowing sediment deposition and nutrient uptake by aquatic vegetation in the constructed wetland. In order for a constructed wetland to be designed, information on typical flows and water surface elevations of Firesteel Creek throughout the growing season must be considered. This data release documents datasets and procedures used to estimate that information for a study area encompassing the proposed location of the constructed wetland. Monthly duration curves of daily mean flow for April through October were developed from data collected at a streamgage located upstream on Firesteel Creek (06477500, Firesteel Creek near Mouth Vernon, SD). Drainage areas for 06477500 and the study area were determined using South Dakota's StreamStats application. A drainage area ratio adjustment  was applied to the 5-, 10-, 20-, 30-, 40-, 50-, 60-, 70-, 80-, 90-, and 95-percent exceedance flows at 06477500 to estimate the corresponding exceedance flows at the study area. Global Navigation Satellite System equipment was used to collect elevation data on the Firesteel Creek channel bottom and at water surface for a set of transects through Firesteel Creek near the proposed wetland location. Elevations for portions of the transects in the floodplain were determined from the one-ninth arc-second National Elevation Dataset. Because the spillway of Lake Mitchell results in backwater conditions within the study area, transects through Lake Mitchell were also determined using the NED and an existing bathymetry map of Lake Mitchell. The data collected at transects were used to develop a hydraulic model using the Hydraulic Engineering Center's River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) software. The hydraulic model was calibrated using water surface elevation data collected during a GNSS survey and the mean streamflow determined for that day. The selected monthly exceedance flows were used as input to the model to estimate water surface elevations for transects in the study area and near the proposed wetland location.
