per-day oil-shale mine with retorting above ground 20 2. Summary of water requirements for a 100,000-barrel-per-day oil-shale mine with retorting by the Occidental modified in situ process 20 3. Comparison of mean chemical composition of four retort waters with natural waters in the southeastern Uinta Basin-CONVERSION FACTORS Most values in this report are given in inch-pound units. For those readers who may prefer to use metric units rather than inch-pound units, the conversion factors for the terms used in the report are listed below. The conversion factors are shown to four significant figures.

Determinations of peak discharge for floods of May to June 1983 were made for 11 streams along the northern Wasatch Front from Salt Lake City to North Ogden. At nine of the streams, the floods during the spring of 1983 equaled or exceeded the 100-year flood. The peak discharge at Stone Creek was 40 times the maximum previously known flood, and the peak discharges at the other sites ranged from slightly greater to about five times that previously known. In addition to the outstanding peak discharges, streamflow at the 11 sites commonly remains high for days, weeks, or even a month. The floods resulted from retention of an abnormally large snowpack until rain combined with above normal temperature caused rapid melting. The peak discharges and continued high flows damaged homes, highways, and drainage canals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
