- Pre-shot and Postshot Structure Survey: Final Report
- From introduction: The purpose of this survey was to document the pre-event and post-event condition of all existing surface facilities within a 10-mile radius of ground zero for Project GNOME.
- Seismic Waves from an Underground Explosion in a Salt Bed: Preliminary Report
- From abstract: Seismic waves resulting from a 5 kiloton nuclear detonation 1200 feet deep in a salt bed near Carlsbad, New Mexico were measured by strong-motion seismographs operated by the Coast and Geodetic Survey on the surface in the distance range from 0.5 to 8.8 miles and underground in a potash mine 8.7 to 11.2 miles distant.
- Basic Data Report for Drilling and Hydrologic Testing of Drillhole DOE-2 at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Site
- From abstract: Drillhole DOE-2 was drilled to investigate a structural depression marked by the downward displacement of stratigraphic markers in the Salado Formation ~ 2 mi north of the center of the WIPP site. This depression was named informally after the shallow borehole FC-92 in which the structure was described. The presence of the depression was confirmed by drilling.
- Interpretation of Wireline Geophysical Logs : ERDA No.9 Stratigraphic Test Borehole DOE WIPP Site, Eddy County, New Mexico
- From introduction: This report describes a stratigraphic core hole known as ERDA No. 9 drilled at the approximate center of the WIPP site.
- Tritium Used as a Ground-Water Tracer Between Lake McMillan and Major Johnson Springs, Eddy County, New Mexico
- Abstract: A large amount of water leaks through the floor of Lake McMillan to underground solution channels or openings in the gypsiferous Seven Rivers Formation.
- Test Holes Drilled in Support of Ground-Water Investigations, Project GNOME, Eddy County, New Mexico: Basic Data Report
- From abstract: This report presents details of two test holes which were drilled to determine ground-water conditions in the near vicinity of the nuclear shot point.
- Ground-Water Investigations of the Project GNOME Area, Eddy and Lea Counties, New Mexico
- From abstract: The U.S. Atomic Energy Commission, through the Office of Test Operations, Albuquerque Operations Office, plans to detonate a nuclear device in a massive salt bed 1,200 feet beneath the land surface. The project, known as Project Gnome, is an element of the Plowshare program--a study of peacetime applications of nuclear fission. The location of the proposed underground shot is in a sparsely-populated area in southeastern Eddy County, N. Mex., east of the Pecos River and about 25 miles southeast of the city of Carlsbad.
- Geohydrology of the Proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Site, Los Medanos Area, Southeastern New Mexico
- From purpose and scope: This report discusses the ground-water systems and the interpretation of test results in the water-bearing zones above and below the proposed facility, Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) in Los Medanos.
- Interim Data Report on the Geohydrology of the Proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Site, Southeast New Mexico
- From introduction: This report contains geohydrologic and water-quality data, hydrologic testing methods, and preliminary interpretations related to the site area and it supplements a report in which the regional hydrogeologic regime was described (Mercer and Orr, 1977).
- Geologic and Well-Construction Data for the H-8 Borehole Complex Near the Proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Site, Southeastern New Mexico
- From introduction: The U.S. Geological Survey is participating in this evaluation by developing information on the ground-water hydrology of the region, obtaining geologic borehole data, and conducting hydrologic tests in boreholes on and near the WIPP site. This report provides well-construction information and lithologic data about the Rustler and Salado Formations and the top of the salt interval within the Salado Formation at the H-8 borehole complex.
- Geologic and Well-Construction Data for the H-9 Borehole Complex Near the Proposed Waste Isolation Pilot Plant Site, Southeastern New Mexico
- From introduction: The U.S. Geological Survey is participating in this evaluation by developing information on the ground-water hydrology of the region, obtaining geologic borehole data, and conducting hydrologic tests in boreholes on and near the WIPP site. This report provides well-construction information and lithologic data about the Rustler and Salado Formations and the top of the salt interval within the Salado Formation at the H-9 borehole complex.
- Description of Core from Atomic Energy Commission Drill Hole Number 1, Project Gnome, Eddy County, New Mexico
- From abstract: Drilling at the Project GNOME site, which is in the approximate center of sec. 34, T. 23 S., R. 30 E., NMPM, was undertaken in August and September 1958 by the W-W Drilling Company. The purpose of drilling this hole, which is at the precise location of the proposed shaft, was to determine (1) the lithologic and water-bearing characteristics of the rocks of Cenozoic, Mesozoic, and Paleozoic age that lie above the salt-bearing sequence in the Salado formation; (2) the depth to the top of the unleached salt and associated evaporites in the Salado formation; and (3) the local details of the salt-bearing sequence in the Salado formation.
- Geology of the Guadalupe Mountains, New Mexico
- From introduction: The present investigation is an attempt, by means of detailed areal mapping, to resolve the relations of the shelf-rock units to one another and to the reef and basin rocks and to clarify the confusing stratigraphic nomenclature.
- Geologic Studies, Project Gnome, Eddy County, New Mexico
- From abstract: For Project Gnome, part of the Plowshare Program to develop peaceful uses for nuclear energy, a nuclear device was detonated December 10, 1961, underground in rack salt of the Permian Salado Formation southeast of Carlsbad, New Mexico. The Geological Survey's investigations on behalf of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission provided basic geologic and geophysical information needed to define preshot and postshot geologic and hydrologic conditions at and near the site. This report describes the geology of the site, some physical and chemical properties of the rocks, and the known effects of the nuclear detonation on the rocks of the site.
- Thickness, Character, and Structure of Upper Permian Evaporites in Part of Eddy County, New Mexico
- From introduction: This report summarizes existing subsurface data concerning the thickness, character, and structure of upper Permian evaporites in part of Eddy County, N. Mex. The area of particular interest lies in central eastern Eddy County between Project Gnome site, in the center of sec.
- Preliminary Appraisal of Ground-Water Conditions in Southeastern Eddy County and Southwestern Lea County, New Mexico
- "This report is a preliminary appraisal of the ground-water conditions in the area southeast of Carlsbad, New Mexico"
