The U.S. Geological Survey's Tone Substances Hydrology Program provides earth-science information needed to understand the movement and fate of hazardous substances in the Nation's ground and surface waters. To do this, the program (1) conducts laboratory and field research on the physical, chemical, and biological processes controlling contaminant transport and transformation; (2) develops new analytical methods and sampling techniques; and (3) investigates the relations among various human activities, environmental characteristics, and regional patterns of water quality. The latest results of research conducted by the Toxic Substances Hydrology program were presented at a technical meeting held in Monterey, California, in March 1991. This report contains the abstracts of oral and poster presentations given at the Monterey meeting. To ensure that the abstracts would be ready for distribution at the meeting, they were reproduced as submitted by the authors. Time did not permit preparation of the abstracts in a uniform format.

Readability-Is it written for the intended audience, and with correct grammar, syntax, and a minimum of scientific jargon? Are illustrations and tables legible and readily understandable? Title-Is it explicit and does it reflect the objectives of the report? Generally the title should not exceed 12 words and, if appropriate, should give the project location and study period.
