Abstract/Description

Little Sarasota Bay is an elongate, shallow water embayment located on the west-central coast of Florida in Sarasota County. The bay is oriented parallel to the coast and is separated from the Gulf of Mexico by Siesta and Casey Keys. Until recently the bay was connected to the Gulf of Mexico by way of Midnight Pass, which closed on December 5, 1983, isolating the bay from the Gulf. Eighty-three surface samples taken throughout the bay revealed the presence of five major surficial sedimentary...

Until recently the bay was connected to the Gulf of Mexico by way of Midnight Pass, which closed on December 5, 1983, isolating the bay from the Gulf. Eighty-three surface samples taken throughout the bay revealed the presence of five major surficial sedimentary environments: low energy bay, protected bay, open bay, barrier island, and tidal delta/tidal channel.

Abstract/Description

Lee County occurs in the geographic middle of the southern part of the Florida Platform. The geology of this region is rather unique, because there is a succession of carbonate sediments followed by a complex mix of siliciclastic sediments (beginning in the Oligocene). The geographic location of the county and the mixing of the sediments caused the aquifer system beneath the county to be quite complex with numerous different aquifers present., It is critical to understand the geology and...
Show moreLee County occurs in the geographic middle of the southern part of the Florida Platform. The geology of this region is rather unique, because there is a succession of carbonate sediments followed by a complex mix of siliciclastic sediments (beginning in the Oligocene). The geographic location of the county and the mixing of the sediments caused the aquifer system beneath the county to be quite complex with numerous different aquifers present., It is critical to understand the geology and hydrology of this area because many of the aquifers are or will be used for water supply. Also, the deep aquifer system is used for the disposal of liquid wastes, such as oil field brines, concentrates from desalination plants, and treated domestic wastewater.

"This report presents the results of geologic and soils studies made in connection with the planning for construction of works within the area of investigation. Geologic data have been obtained from core borings and probings along canal and levee alignments in the coastal areas south of St. Lucie Canal and at structure sites in that area. Soil types and distribution have been determined from field investigations and laboratory-tested samples. Results of similar investigations for the other...

Abstract/Description
-
The unconfined Biscayne aquifer underlies all of Dade County, Florida. This aquifer is wedge-shaped and comprised primarily of limestone, sandstone, and sand. Because of interest in the East Everglades area as a recharge area in Dade County, the Metropolitan Dade County Planning Department requested the U.S. Geological Survey to prepare a map defining the base of the Biscayne aquifer in the East Everglades., The purpose of this report is to present the results of the investigation in terms of...

Abstract/Description
-
The National Park Service (NPS) has received an oil and gas plan of operations from Shell Western E & P Incorporated (Shell Western) that describes proposed geophysical survey (seismic) operations within the Big Cypress National Preserve (BICY) of south Florida. Shell Western proposes to use explosive energy sources to conduct about 85 miles of seismic lines in BICY. The objective of this environmental assessment and analysis is to ensure that the proposed plan of operations and any...

Shell Western proposes to use explosive energy sources to conduct about 85 miles of seismic lines in BICY. The objective of this environmental assessment and analysis is to ensure that the proposed plan of operations and any reasonable alternatives have been examind by the NPS; that the plan is in compliance wth all federal laws; and that the plan meets the approval standards of 36 CFR 9.37 as required for decision-making purposes.
