Peak-flow frequency analysis for three selected streamgages in the Cedar and Little Sioux River Basins, Iowa, based on data through water year 2019

This data release presents a peak-flow frequency analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey that was based on on methods described by Eash and others (2013) for streamgages 05458300 Cedar River at Waverly, Iowa; 05458500 Cedar River at Janesville, Iowa; and 06606600 Little Sioux River at Correctionville, Iowa. These methods are used to provide estimates of peak-flow quantiles for 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs). Annual peak-flow data used in the peak-flow frequency analysis for these streamgages were retrieved from the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System webpage (U.S. Geological Survey, 2020) and used with USGS flood-frequency analysis software PeakFQ (Veilleux and others, 2014). This data release contains annual peak-flow data (Iowa_ffa_2019_WATSTORE.txt), PeakFQ specifications (Iowa_ffa_2019.psf), and a series of tables describing the methods and results of the peak-flow frequency analysis (Iowa_ffa_2019.xlsx).

Bottom sediment chemical data at rivermouths and harbors along western Lake Michigan, USA, 2016

Streambed sediment samples were collected in October 2016 from streams tributary to Wisconsin’s western Lake Michigan shoreline. Streams included two Areas of Concern (AOCs), two non-AOC comparisons, and two additional non-AOC study areas. Within the Milwaukee Estuary AOC, samples were collected from the Milwaukee River (three subsites), the Menomonee River (two subsites), the Kinnickinnic River (2 subsites), and the Milwaukee Harbor (one subsite). The Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic Rivers converge in the Milwaukee Harbor and then discharge to Lake Michigan. Within the Sheboygan River AOC, samples were collected at three subsites. Samples were also collected at two subsites in the Manitowoc River and two subsites in the Root River, the two non-AOC comparison rivers. Two subsites in the Kewaunee River and two subsites in Oak Creek, the two additional non-AOC study areas, were also sampled.

Multi-element geochemical analyses of selected samples from the Mesoproterozoic Nonesuch Formation and Copper Harbor Conglomerate at the Copperwood copper deposit, Western Syncline, Michigan, USA

This data release provides multi-element data for drill core samples from the Mesoproterozoic Nonesuch Formation and Copper Harbor Conglomerate at the Copperwood copper deposit, Michigan, USA. Copper was determined by assay, and sulfur by inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) after aqua regia digestion for most samples. Multi-element whole rock analyses were determined for selected samples. The Copperwood copper deposit is a sediment-hosted stratiform copper deposit in the Presque Isle Syncline of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The deposit has a 2018 mineral resource estimate of 42.2 million metric tons (Mt) of measured plus indicated mineral resources in the Lower Copper Bearing Sequence at an average grade of 1.60 percent Cu and 3.84 grams per ton (g/t) Ag. The measured plus indicated mineral resource in the Upper Copper Bearing Sequence is estimated to be 7.1 Mt at an average grade of 1.21 percent Cu and 3.26 g/t Ag (Gignac, 2018). The mineral reserves for the Copperwood Project are estimated at 25.4 Mt at an average grade of 1.43 percent Cu and 3.83 g/t Ag (Gignac, 2018).

Dissolved organic carbon, total petroleum hydrocarbons and and toxicity assay results for Bemidji, MN (2018) (ver. 2.0, June 2023)

In crude-oil-contaminant plumes the dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is mainly hydrocarbon degradation intermediates only partly quantified by the diesel range total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPHd) method. To understand potential biological effects of degradation intermediates we tested three fractions of DOC: (1) solid phase extract (HLB); (2) dichloromethane (DCM-total) extract used in TPHd; and (3) DCM extract with hydrocarbons isolated by silica gel cleanup (DCM-SGC). Bioactivity of extracts from five wells spanning a range of DOC was tested using an in vitro multiplex reporter system that evaluates modulation of activity of 46 transcription factors; extracts were evaluated at concentrations equivalent to the well water samples. The aryl hydrocarbon (AhR) and pregnane X (PXR) transcription factors showed the greatest upregulation; with HLB exceeding DCM-total, and no upregulation in the hydrocarbon fraction (DCM-SGC). The HLB extracts were further studied with HepG2 CALUX in vitro assays at nine concentrations ranging from 40 to 0.01 times the well water concentrations. Reponses decreased with distance from the source but were still present at two wells without detectable hydrocarbons. Thus, our in vitro assay results indicate that risks associated with degradation intermediates of hydrocarbons in groundwater will be under estimated when protocols that remove these chemicals are employed.

Model parameter input files to study three-dimensional flow over coral reef spur-and-groove morphology

This data set consists of physics-based Delft3D-FLOW and SWAN hydrodynamic models input files used to study the wave-induced 3D flow over spur-and-groove (SAG) formations. SAG are a common and impressive characteristic of coral reefs. They are composed of a series of submerged shore-normal coral ridges (spurs) separated by shore-normal patches of sediment (grooves) on the fore reef of coral reef environments. Although their existence and geometrical properties are well documented, the literature concerning the hydrodynamics around them is sparse. Here, the three-dimensional flow patterns over SAG formations, and a sensitivity of those patterns to waves, currents, and SAG geometry were examined. Shore-normal shoaling waves over SAG formations were shown to drive two circulation cells: 1) a cell on the lower fore reef with offshore flow over the spur and onshore flow over the groove, except near the seabed where velocities were always onshore; and 2) a cell on the upper fore reef with offshore surface velocities and onshore bottom currents, which result in depth-averaged onshore and offshore flow over the spurs and grooves, respectively.
These input files accompany the modeling conducted for the following publication: da Silva, R.F., Storlazzi, C.D., Rogers, J.S., Reyns, J., and McCall, R., 2020, Modeling three-dimensional flow over spur-and-groove morphology: Coral Reefs, https://doi.org/10.1007/s00338-020-02011-8.

Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP): MRVA Properties

Electrical resistivity results from two regional airborne electromagnetic (AEM) surveys (Minsley et al. 2021, and Burton et al. 2021) over the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP) were combined by the U.S. Geological Survey to produce three-dimensional (3D) gridded models and derivative hydrogeologic products. First, the base of the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial aquifer (MRVA) was updated using the AEM resistivity data, both borehole and manual picks, and a supervised machine learning algorithm. The 3D resistivity elevation grid was then intersected with the 2018 potentiometric surface and the new base of MRVA surface to isolate the saturated MRVA extent and generate estimates of the hydrogeologic framework and properties. The saturated aquifer thickness was calculated as the difference between the potentiometric surface elevation and the MRVA base elevation. The average electrical resistivity and facies classification of the saturated aquifer material were calculated for each 1 kilometer (km) x 1 km grid cell. See child item “Mississippi Alluvial Plain: Electrical Resistivity &amp; Facies Classification Grids” for more details on the facies classes.  Lastly, the degree of connectivity across the base of the MRVA, i.e. how likely the MRVA is hydraulically connected to deeper subcropping Tertiary units, was estimated through the vertically integrated electrical conductance (VIC) between different vertical offsets (+/- 5 meter (m), 10 m, 25 m) from the aquifer base. For example, for every 1 km x 1 km cell, the VIC for +/- 25 m is the result of integrating the electrical conductance values from all 5 m elevation layers between 25 above the MRVA base and 25 m below the MRVA base. Areas with high VIC values suggest there is low or minimal hydraulic connection across the MRVA base, while low VIC values indicate areas of high potential connection. All products were exported as raster images in Georeferenced Tagged Image File Format (GeoTIFF) files.

Suspended-sediment concentration and turbidity data for sites in the upper Esopus Creek watershed New York, 2016-19

The upper Esopus Creek is the primary tributary to the Ashokan Reservoir, part of the New York City (NYC) water supply system. Suspended-sediment concentration (ssc) and turbidity are primary water-quality concerns in the NYC water-supply system, particularly in the upper Esopus Creek watershed. In 2016 the NYC Department of Environmental Protection and U.S. Geological Survey entered into a collaborative agreement to conduct a comprehensive study of suspended sediment and turbidity in the upper Esopus Creek watershed. Objectives included ssc, streamflow, and turbidity monitoring, and development of turbidity-ssc regression equations to estimate ssc from continuous turbidity measurements. Cross-section and point suspended-sediment samples were collected at 14 monitoring sites in the upper Esopus Creek watershed through most of the range in streamflow and turbidity measured at the monitoring sites. Turbidity-ssc regression equations were developed for the monitoring sites for the period October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2019. This data release contains the data used to develop the turbidity-ssc regression equations and diagnostic plots for each monitoring location.

Pesticide concentrations in surface waters of the Sacramento Valley rice-growing region, 2010

Surface water samples were collected from four stream/agricultural drain sites in the Sacramento Valley of California to measure pesticides commonly applied to rice. Samples were collected weekly from May through August 2010 to capture the rice pesticide application season. Water samples were filtered (0.7 µm) and extracted via solid-phase extraction. Additionally, the filter paper was solvent extracted to measure suspended sediment-associated pesticides. Both fractions were analyzed via gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. A total of 89 pesticides and pesticide degradates were measured in the dissolved water phase, while 14 pyrethroid insecticides were measured in the suspended sediment-associated fraction (pyrethroids are hydrophobic and known to associate with particulates). For the dissolved phase, 18 compounds were detected. The most frequently detected compounds included those pesticides applied to rice: azoxystrobin (detection frequency 100%, maximum concentration 128,000 ng/L), clomazone (96%, 19,400 ng/L), 3,4-dichloroaniline (propanil degradate; 92%, 13,600 ng/L), thiobencarb (83%, 12,400 ng/L), and propanil (57%; 6,500 ng/L). Other frequently detected dissolved pesticides not applied to rice included boscalid (45%, 75.7 ng/L) and metolachlor (43%, 600 ng/L).  Only two pyrethroids were detected in the suspended sediment fraction; this included lambda-cyhalothrin (17%, 14.8 ng/L), which was applied to rice, and bifenthrin, which is not specific to rice (6%, 26.3 ng/L).
