Nearshore Water Quality Collected on Lake Erie on June 24, 2015, August 11, 2015, and August 19, 2015

This data release supports the following publication: Hittle, Elizabeth, 2017, Longshore water-current velocity and the potential for transport of contaminants: A pilot study in Lake Erie from Walnut Creek to Presque Isle State Park beaches, Erie, Pennsylvania, June and August 2015: U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 2016–1206 126 p., https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20161206 
Water-quality grab samples were collected about a meter from shore and coincide with the 25 longshore water-current velocity transects as closely as conditions would allow.  Nearshore water-quality grab samples were collected on June 24, August 11, and August 19, 2015.  Samples were analyzed for bacteria concentration, temperature, specific condictivity, pH, turbidity, and suspended sediment concentration.  Not all parameters were analyzed for every sample.  Samples were collected by Erie County Department of Health (ECDH) employees and Regional Science Consortium (RSC) interns.  The nearshore water-quality samples were collected using grab-sample techniques. To maintain sterile conditions, grab samples were collected in at least 1 meter of water at approximately 0.3 meters below the water surface, being careful not to stir up bottom sediments. Water samples for bacteria analysis were collected in pre-sterilized 500-mL polypropylene bottles, allowing about 2 inches of head space for proper mixing, and were kept on ice prior to processing. Bacteria samples were analyzed for Escherichia coli (E. coli) using modified mTEC membrane-filtration techniques and were processed by RSC staff in the RSC laboratory within 6 hours of sample collection.  
Water samples for sediment analysis (June 24 and August 11, 2015) were collected in pre-tared 1000-mL polypropylene bottles by tilting the bottle at about a 45 degree angle away from the sampler and moving it from just under the surface (where the bottle was uncapped) to just above the streambed and back in a smooth vertical motion to get as close to a depth-integrated, single-vertical grab sample as possible.  Sediment samples were prepared for shipping and sent to the USGS sediment laboratory at the USGS Kentucky Water Science Center where they were analyzed for total suspended sediment concentration, sand/fine break (percent of sediment less than 4 mm), and fine components including percent fines less than 2 mm, 1 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.125 mm, and silt/clay break at &lt;0.0625mm.

Mercury and Methylmercury Concentrations and Litterfall Mass in Autumn Litterfall Samples Collected at Selected National Atmospheric Deposition Program Sites in 2007-2009 and 2012-2015

Mercury (Hg) is a persistent environmental contaminant and can accumulate and concentrate in food webs as methylmercury (MeHg), presenting a health risk to humans and wildlife. Multiyear monitoring and modeling studies have shown that atmospheric Hg in litterfall is an important form of Hg deposition to forests. Annual litterfall consists primarily of leaves with some amounts of needles, twigs, bark, flowers, seeds, fruits, and nuts. Atmospheric Hg accumulates in leaves and reaches an annual maximum concentration at autumn leaf drop. This data set is derived from autumn litterfall collected at 30 selected National Atmospheric Deposition Program (NADP) Mercury Deposition Network (MDN) sites in deciduous and mixed deciduous-coniferous forests from 16 states in the eastern United States during 2007-2009 and 2012-2015. The NADP administered litterfall collection at the MDN sites. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) distributed sets of passive litterfall sample collectors to MDN site operators for systematic retrieval of samples during the 8 to 16 weeks of autumn leaf drop each year at each site. Samples were processed and analyzed at the USGS Mercury Research Laboratory where concentrations of Hg and MeHg and litterfall dry mass and sample moisture were determined. All sites did not have data for all years. Most sites had four Hg concentrations per year and a few sites had less than or more than four Hg concentrations in specific years. MeHg concentrations were determined in one composite sample per site in 2007 and 2012-2015. Litterfall mass was determined from 4 to 8 samples per site per year. Seven annual groups of data were compiled into this dataset. More information is available from the NADP at http://nadp.sws.uiuc.edu/

Mermentau River Flood Map Files

A slow-moving area of low pressure and a high amount of atmospheric moisture produced heavy rainfall across Louisiana and southwest Mississippi in August 2016. Over 31 inches of rain was reported in Watson, 30 miles northeast of Baton Rouge, over the duration of the event. The result was major flooding that occurred in the southern portions of Louisiana and included areas surrounding Baton Rouge and Lafayette along rivers such as the Amite, Comite, Tangipahoa, Tickfaw, Vermilion, and Mermentau. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center operates many continuous, streamflow-gaging stations in the impacted area.  Peak streamflows of record were measured at 10 locations, and seven other locations experienced peak streamflows ranking in the top 5 for the duration of the period of record. In August 2016, USGS personnel  made fifty streamflow measurements at 21 locations on streams in Louisiana. Many of those streamflow measurements were made for the purpose of verifying the accuracy of the stage-streamflow relation at the associated gaging station. USGS personnel also recovered and documented 590 high-water marks after the storm event by noting the location and height of the water above land surface. Many of these high water marks were used to create twelve flood-inundation maps for selected communities of Louisiana that experienced flooding in August 2016. This data release provides the actual flood-depth measurements made in selected river basins of Louisiana that were used to produce the flood-inundation maps published in the companion product (Watson and others, 2017).

Groundwater tracing experiments conducted in the mudstone aquifer underlying the former Naval Air Warfare Center, West Trenton, NJ (2007-2008)

This data set presents results from two groundwater tracing experiments conducted in the mudstone aquifer underlying the former Naval Air Warfare Center (NAWC), West Trenton, NJ. In each test, a bromide solution was introduced into a hydraulically isolated section of borehole 36BR (denoted as 36BR-A); the hydraulically isolated section of the borehole isolated specific bedding plane parting fractures intersecting the borehole 36BR. In the first test, initiated in July 2007, water samples were collected from borehole 15BR; borehole 15BR is outfitted with a submersible pump operating continuously as part of the pump-and-treat operation at the NAWC to prevent off-site migration of groundwater contaminants. In the second tracer test, initiated in September 2008, groundwater samples were collected from a hydraulically isolated section of borehole 73BR (denoted as 73BR-D2); a peristaltic pump was used extract groundwater from the selected interval. In each test, the groundwater samples were analyzed for the concentration of bromide using ion chromatography.
