Lineaments are expressions of subsurface faults Defined "fracture trace" as a lineament "expressed continuously for less than one mile" (p. 569), the expression of local jointing or small faults; included "only natural linear features not obviously related to outcrop pattern of tilted beds, lineation and foliation, and stratigraphic contacts . . . included . . . are joints mapped on aerial photographs where bare rock is exposed
Page iii - The Environmental Protection Agency was established to coordinate administration of the major Federal programs designed to protect the quality of our environment. An important part of the Agency's effort involves the search for information about environmental problems, management techniques, and new technologies through which optimum use of the Nation's land and water resources can be assured and the threat pollution poses to the welfare of the American people can be minimized. EPA's Office of Research...
Page iv - Laboratories, under the sponsorship of the US Environmental Protection Agency. This report covers the period from June 1, 1975, to June 30, 1978, and work was completed, as of June 1978.
Page iii - ... unsaturated and the saturated zones of the subsurface environment; (b) define the processes to be used in characterizing the soil and subsurface environment as a receptor of pollutants; (c) develop techniques for predicting the effect of pollutants on ground water, soil, and indigenous organisms; and (d) define and demonstrate the applicability and limitations of using natural processes, indigenous to the soil and subsurface environment, for the protection of this resource.
Page iii - ... focused on air and water quality, solid waste management and the control of toxic substances, pesticides, noise and radiation, the Agency strives to formulate and implement actions which lead to a compatible balance between human activities and the ability of natural systems to support and nurture life. The Robert S. Kerr Environmental Research Laboratory is the Agency's center of expertise for investigation of the soil and subsurface environment. Personnel at the laboratory are responsible for...

Page iii - ... wastes; (e) develop and demonstrate technologies to prevent, control or abate pollution from the petroleum refining and petrochemical industries; and (f) develop and demonstrate technologies to manage pollution resulting from combinations of industrial wastewaters or industrial/municipal wastewaters. This report contributes to that knowledge which is essential in order for EPA to establish and enforce pollution control standards which are reasonable, cost effective, and provide adequate environmental...
