The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is providing a line feature class delineating the approximate locations of glacial ice-margins within the Binghamton East 1:24,000 quadrangle of south-central Broome County, New York, 2020. The shapefile was created and intended for use with geographic information system (GIS) software. A companion report, USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2021-5026 (Van Hoesen and others, 2021; https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215026) further describes data collection and map preparation.

Problem - The New York State Departments of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and Health (NYSDOH) are concerned about Problem - The New York State Departments of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and Health (NYSDOH) are concerned about ground-water contamination in the carbonate-bedrock aquifers, especially relating to the inadvertent introduction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and manure to these aquifers. Groundwater can flow very quickly with minimal filtration or adsorption through solution-widened fractures in carbonate-bedrock aquifers. Therefore, large amounts of water and associated contaminants can move long distances, sometimes in short periods of time, and affect large areas. If these underground...

The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Tug Hill Commission, the Jefferson County Soil and Water Conservation District, the Oswego County Soil and Water Conservation District, and the Tug Hill Land Trust studied the northern and central parts of the Tug Hill glacial aquifer to help communities make sound decisions about the groundwater resource. This child item dataset contains locations of geologic sections for the northern and central parts of the Tug Hill aquifer.

This child item dataset contains a shapefile that delineates traces of hydrogeologic sections illustrated in Heisig, 2023 (figure 3, plate 1). The "Section_id" attribute lists letter-number designations of each section. A second shapefile contains the map labels for the hydrogeologic sections in the format x - x'. By convention, the x is on the west side and the x' is on the east side of generally horizontal sections. In generally vertical sections, the x is the westernmost of the section ends and the x' is the eastermost end of the section line.

Introduction The City of Oneonta and surrounding area is the major population center in Otsego County, N.Y. and home to two colleges (SUNY Oneonta and Hartwick College). The public water supply draws on both surface-water and groundwater sources and serves 15,954 people in the City of Oneonta and parts of the surrounding Town of Oneonta (City of Oneonta, 2013). The remaining population uses domestic wells for water supply. The City is located in a section of Susquehanna River valley that includes confluences with three other major valleys: those of Charlotte Creek, Schenevus Creek, and Otego Creek. The study area covers 112 mi2 and includes the lower 2 to 5 miles of each of these valleys. The valley-fill deposits...

Introduction Public-water systems at Springville and Yorkshire/Delavan, N.Y. along Cattaraugus Creek draw from local groundwater resources and serve about 5,500 people (U.S. EPA SDWIS database). The remainder of the population obtains water from domestic wells, many of them completed in glacial aquifers. A Cattaraugus Creek tributary valley (Buttermilk Creek) to the south is the site of the West Valley low-level radioactive waste burial site (part of the Western New York Nuclear Service Center). Numerous investigations of glacial geology and hydrogeology have been performed at this site (for example, Prudic and Randall (1977), LaFleur (1980), and Prudic (1986)) and glacial mapping has included the surrounding area...

Background Since 1980 the U.S. Geological Survey has conducted a Detailed Aquifer Mapping Program in upstate New York, first in cooperation with the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH), and later in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), Division of Water. The objective of this program is to define the hydrogeology of important stratified-drift aquifers in upstate New York, and to present the information as individual sets of maps at a 1:24,000 scale. Each published report from this program describes the hydrogeology of a specific aquifer or section of aquifer, and depicts selected hydrogeologic characteristics. These reports form the foundation of NYSDEC's...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is providing a point feature class containing a compilation of geologic well records (n=221) obtained from: 1) previous U.S. Geological Survey groundwater investigations, 2) the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water Information System (NWIS), 3) the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) Water Well Contractor Program, and 4) the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). The wells are located within the Binghamton East 1:24,000 quadrangle of south-central Broome County, New York, 2014-2020. The shapefile was created and intended for use with geographic information system (GIS) software. A companion report, USGS Scientific Investigations Report...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is providing a polygon feature class containing the delineated areas of postglacial and glacial deposits within the Binghamton East quadrangle of south-central Broome County, New York, 2014-2021. Surficial units included are alluvium, alluvial fans, outwash, glacial lake clay, ice-contact deposit, and variable thicknesses of till. The shapefile was created and intended for use with geographic information system (GIS) software. A companion report, USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2021-5026 (Van Hoesen and others, 2021; https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20215026) further describes data collection and map preparation.

From 2010 through 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, collected horizontal-to-vertical seismic soundings at 100 locations in upstate New York and 1 location in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania to evaluate the technique (control-point measurements) and to support aquifer-mapping projects (Heisig, 2012, 2015). The HVSR technique, commonly referred to as the passive-seismic method, is used to estimate the thickness of unconsolidated sediments and the depth to bedrock (Lane and others, 2008; Fairchild and others, 2013). The passive-seismic method uses a single, broad-band three-component (two horizontal and one vertical) seismometer to record...

In 2011, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Town of Newfield and the Tompkins County Planning Department, began a study of the stratified-drift aquifers in the West Branch Cayuga Inlet and Fish Kill valleys in the Town of Newfield, Tompkins County, New York. The objective of this study was to characterize the hydrogeology and water quality of the stratified-drift aquifers in the West Branch Cayuga Inlet and Fish Kill valleys and produce a summary report of the findings. This dataset contains the well records compiled for this study in West Branch Cayuga Inlet and Fish Kill Valleys, Newfield, Tompkins County, New York.
