Compressional- (P-) wave seismic refraction data were acquired in December 2018 and July 2019 along fourteen profiles within the spillway of Success Dam in Porterville, California. A new concrete ogee weir is planned for construction within the existing spillway, and the P-wave seismic velocity models will be used to inform further geotechnical investigations, including siting new geologic borings, and the advanced engineering design phases in terms of rock rippability and relative rock hardness/competency. Data acquisition, processing, and modeling were conducted collaboratively between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Sacramento District. Data were acquired with Geometrics...

The U.S. Geological Survey collected groundwater samples from 95 domestic wells in Tulare and Kings Counties, California in 2014-2015. The wells were sampled for the Tulare Shallow Aquifer Study Unit of the California State Water Resources Control Board Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) Program Priority Basin Project’s assessment of the quality of groundwater resources used for domestic drinking water supply. Domestic wells commonly are screened at shallower depths than are public-supply wells. The Tulare Shallow Aquifer Study Unit includes the Kaweah, Tule, and Tulare Lake subbasins of the San Joaquin Valley groundwater basin and adjacent areas of the Sierra Nevada. The study unit was divided...

High concentrations of uranium were detected in samples from wells used for domestic drinking water supplies in the San Joaquin Valley. Of 163 domestic wells sampled by the California Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment Program Priority Basin Project (GAMA-PBP) and the National Water Quality Program (NWQP) in 2008-2015, 26 percent had uranium concentrations greater than the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency maximum contaminant level (EPA MCL) of 30 µg/L, with 13 percent of the wells having uranium concentration between 100 µg/L and 450 µg/L. To evaluate the potential anthropogenic and geologic causes of these anomalously high uranium concentrations, Rosen and others (2019) compiled water quality and...

A mineral resource assessment for tungsten, a critical mineral commodity (see 'Related External Resources' section below) for the United States, was carried out by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for a portion of the Great Basin region, in western Nevada and eastern California, between latitudes 36N and 42N and longitudes 116W and 120W. This study (Lederer and others, in review) integrates data from several sources, including geologic, geochemical, geophysical, remote sensing, watershed analysis, and mining with recently developed grade and tonnage models, expert estimates, and software tools and analyses to generate probabilistic estimates of undiscovered tungsten skarn resources. The assessment was conducted...

These data describe microbiological analyses performed on groundwater samples from domestic drinking water supply collected from 42 groundwater wells in the Central Valley of California. Samples were collected between January 2014 and April 2014 for the Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment (GAMA) program priority basin assessment of the Madera, Chowchilla, and Kings (MACK) groundwater sub-basins’ shallow aquifers. A total of 75 wells were sampled for the MACK study unit between August 2013 and April 2014. Samples for this dataset were vacuum filtered and plated on MI and mEI agars prior to incubation to promote colony growth. Colonies were tallied by their species into columns for various fecal indicator...

The 'Beattie Prospect' file is part of the Grover Heinrichs mining collection. Grover was the Vice President of Heinrichs GEOEXploration, located in Tucson, Arizona. The collection contains over 1,400 folders including economic geology reports, maps, photos, correspondence, drill logs and other related materials. The focus of much of the information is on the western United States, particularly Arizona, but the collection also includes files on mining activity throughout the United States, foreign countries, and 82 mineral commodities.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) used the Borehole data to characterize the hydrogeology in the Central Valley of California for the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2). These data encompass the inputs and outputs for the three-dimensional (3D) hydrogeologic Framework for the Central Valley, California, a part of the Central Valley Hydraulic Framework version 2 (CVHM2) project. These files include the shapefiles with flow layers (Flow_model_grid.zip), a scatter dataset of the modeled Central Valley (PercentCoarse_CV_50ft.csv), and the well log information and kriging parameters for the Central Valley (Kriging_Table.xlxs).
This data release has been deprecated. Please see new data release here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9ETQ00R The U.S. Geological Survey Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment-Priority Basin Project (USGS GAMA-PBP) collected samples to be analyzed for per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from domestic and public supply wells from May 2019 to June 2021. The datasets presented here include identification of the 28 PFAS constituents monitored by the project, Identification and brief characterization of the 395 GAMA-PBP wells for which samples were analyzed for PFAS during the study period, and analytical results for those groundwater samples, along with results for quality control samples.
These data encompass data classified from the borehole textures. The U.S Geological Survey (USGS) classified the Well Log Database of the Central Valley, California, 2021, into Central_Valley_Borehole_with_Lithology_Classification.csv. Lithologic log descriptions served as the basis for division into discrete binary texture classifications of either “coarse grained” or “fine grained” intervals. Values of 1 (coarse grained), 0 (fine grained) or 2 (unknown) were determined using the table found in Central_Valley_Lithology_Classifier.csv. Percent Coarse values for each well log were calculated at 15.24 m for the entire Central valley (Percent_Coarse_meters_wells.csv).
This digital dataset contains the monthly inflows to the surface water network in the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2) for water years 1922-2019. The surface water inflows are simulated through the Streamflow Routing Package (SFR2) using 65 inflows locations, 271 stream segments that represent 4043 stream reaches, and 13 bifurcations that comprise the stream network. The bifurcations simulate the bypass canals that are used for flood control by routing water between two stream reach locations within the stream network. This dataset includes the inflow and bifurcation locations, monthly magnitude, and shapefiles of the gridded and non-gridded stream network.
This digital dataset contains the monthly diversions from the surface water network in the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2) for water years 1922-2019. The volume of water transported by surface-water diversions were updated in the CVHM2 from several sources, including: • The C2VSIM developed by DWR, • The WestSIM model, • Delta Mendota Canal turnout delivery data obtained from SLDMWA, • Delta delivery data obtained from Montgomery Watson. The surface water diversions are simulated through the Streamflow Routing Package (SFR2) using 571 diversion locations providing 564 semi-routed and 7 non-routed diversions. Linkages between SFR2 and the Farm-Process (FMP4) simulate the semi-routed and non-routed...
