"(6) Each national primary drinking water regulation which establishes a maximum contaminant level shall list the technology, treatment techniques, and other means which the Administrator finds to be feasible for purposes of meeting such maximum contaminant level, but a regulation under this paragraph shall not require that any specified technology, treatment technique, or other means be used for purposes of meeting such maximum contaminant level. "(7)(A) The Administrator is authorized to promulgate a national primary drinking water regulation that requires the use of a treatment technique in lieu of establishing a maximum contaminant level, if the Administrator makes a finding that it is not economically or technologically feasible to ascertain the level of the contaminant. In such case, the Administrator shall identify those treatment techniques which, in the Administrator's judgment, would prevent known or anticipated adverse effects on the health of persons to the extent feasible. Such regulations shall specify each treatment technique known to the Administrator which meets the requirements of this paragraph, but the Administrator may grant a variance from any specified treatment technique in accordance with section 1415(a)(3). "(B) Any schedule referred to in this subsection for the promulgation of a national primary drinking water regulation for any contaminant shall apply in the same manner if the regulation requires a treatment technique in lieu of establishing a maximum contaminant level. "(C)(i) Not later than 18 months after the enactment of the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986, the Administrator shall propose and promulgate national primary drinking water regulations specifying criteria under which filtration (including coagulation and sedimentation, as appropriate) is required as a treatment technique for public water systems supplied by surface water sources. In promulgating such rules, the Administrator shall consider the quality of source waters, protection afforded by watershed management, treatment practices (such as disinfection and length of water storage) and other factors relevant to protection of health. "(ii) In lieu of the provisions of section 1415 the Administrator shall specify procedures by which the State determines which public water systems within its jurisdiction shall adopt filtration under the criteria of clause (i). The State may require the public water system to provide studies or other information to assist in this determination. The procedures shall provide notice and opportunity for public hearing on this determination. If the State determines that filtration is required, the State shall prescribe a schedule for compliance by the public water system with the filtration requirement. A schedule shall require compliance within 18 months of a determination made under clause (iii). "(iii) Within 18 months from the time that the Administrator establishes the criteria and procedures under this subparagraph, a State with primary enforcement responsibility shall adopt any necessary regulations to implement this subparagraph. Within 12 months of adoption of such regulations the State shall make deter-

48 scale and a systematic basis. The report sets forth that in order to avoid possible conflicts of jurisdiction, the purpose for which the geological survey was organized under the law creating it, namely, the classification of public lands, and, secondly, the examination of the geological structure and the mineral resources of the public domain, were so construed as not to interfere with the business of the General Land Office, and not to extend the operations of the office over the whole area of the United States, but to confine them to the so-called public land States and Territories.

With regard to the classification of the public lands the report says: “The Public Lands Commission, created by Congress in the same law which organized the geological survey, carefully examined into the question of classification and disposition of the public lands. In the deliberate opinion of that body it has been adjudged impracticable for the Geological Survey or any other branch of the Interior Department to execute a classification in advance of sale without seriously impeding the rapid settlement of the unoccupied lands. I have therefore concluded that the intention of Congress was to begin a rigid scientific classification of the lands of the national domain, not for purposes of aiding the machinery of the General Land Office by furnishing a basis of sale, but for the general information of the people of the country, and to produce a series of maps which should show those features upon which intelligent agriculturalists, miners, engineers, and timbermen might hereafter base their operations, and which would obviously be of the highest value for all students of the political economy and resources of the United States. Studies of this sort entirely aside from the administration of the land office can be made of the highest practical value, and to this end a careful beginning has been made.”

As to the operations of the Geological Survey proper, the practice formerly followed of starting out campaign parties for the West in the spring, to return in the late autumn to Washington, has been abandoned. The Director of the Geological Survey divided the region west of the one hundred and first meridian into four large geological districts, with fixed headquarters. The first of these divisions is that of the Rocky Mountains, embracing within its boundaries Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, and Montana, and a small part of Dakota, an area inclosing the whole of the great Rocky Mountain chain. He placed at the head of that division, as geologist in charge, Mr. S. F. Emmons, with his main office at Denver, Col. The second division is that of the Colorado, embracing the remarkable plateau and cañon country which lies between the Rocky Mountains and the Great Basin. At the head of this division he placed, as geologist in charge, Capt. C. E. Dutton, United States Ordnance Corps, with headquarters at Salt Lake City. The third division is that of the Great Basin, the tract of country bounded on the east by the Rocky Mountains and the Colorado plateau, and on the west by the country of the Sierra Nevada, Cascade, and Pacific Coast ranges, which lie between

drinking water standards, pursuant to this Act and State law. "(C) Limits on Federal, State, and local government, financially assisted activities and projects which may contribute to degradation of such ground water or any loss of natural surface and subsurface infiltration of purification capability of the special protection watershed. "(D) A comprehensive statement of land use management including emergency contingency planning as it pertains to the maintenance of the quality of underground sources of drinking water or to the improvement of such sources if necessary to meet drinking water standards pursuant to this Act and State law. "(E) Actions in the special protection area which would avoid adverse impacts on water quality, recharge capabilities, or both.

"(G) Consideration of the establishment of a State institution to facilitate and assist funding a development transfer credit system. "(H) A program for State and local implementation of the plan described in this subsection in a manner that will insure the continued, uniform, consistent protection of the critical protection area in accord with the purposes of this section. "(I) Pollution abatement measures, if appropriate. "(g) PLANS UNDER SECTION 208 OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT.—A plan approved before the enactment of the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986 under section 208 of the Clean Water Act to protect a sole source aquifer designated under section 1424(e) of this Act shall be considered a comprehensive management plan for the purposes of this section. "(h) CONSULTATION AND HEARINGS.—During the development of a comprehensive management plan under this section, the planning entity shall consult with, and consider the comments of, appropriate officials of any municipality and State or Federal agency which has jurisdiction over lands and waters within the special protection area, other concerned organizations and technical and citizen advisory committees. The planning entity shall conduct public hearings at places within the special protection area for the purpose of providing the opportunity to comment on any aspect of the plan. "(i) APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL.—Within 120 days after receipt of an application under this section, the Administrator shall approve or disapprove the application. The approval or disapproval shall be based on a determination that the critical protection area satisfies the criteria established under subsection (d) and that a demonstration program for the area would provide protection for ground water quality consistent with the objectives stated in subsection (f). The Administrator shall provide to the Governor a written explanation of the reasons for the disapproval of any such application. Any petitioner may modify and resubmit any application which is not approved. Upon approval of an application, the Administrator may enter into a cooperative agreement with the applicant to establish a demonstration program under this section.

' "(d) FEDERAL ASSISTANCE.—After the date 3 years after the enactment of this section, no State shall receive funds authorized to be appropriated under this section except for the purpose of implementing the program and requirements of paragraphs (4) and (6) of subsection (a). "(e) DEFINITION OF WELLHEAD PROTECTION AREA.—AS used in this section, the term 'wellhead protection area' means the surface and subsurface area surrounding a water well or wellfield, supplying a public water system, through which contaminants are reasonably likely to move toward and reach such water well or wellfield. The extent of a wellhead protection area, within a State, necessary to provide protection from contaminants which may have any adverse effect on the health of persons is to be determined by the State in the program submitted under subsection (a). Not later than one year after the enactment of the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986, the Administrator shall issue technical guidance which States may use in making such determinations. Such guidance may reflect such factors as the radius of influence around a well or wellfield, the depth of drawdown of the water table by such well or wellfield at any given point, the time or rate of travel of various contaminants in various hydrologic conditions, distance from the well or wellfield, or other factors affecting the likelihood of contaminants reaching the well or wellfield, taking into account available engineering pump tests or comparable data, field reconnaissance, topographic information, and the geology of the formation in which the well or wellfield is located.

PATON, DAVID (fl. 1650–1700), painter, executed portraits and medallions in the latter half of the seventeenth century. A portrait of General Thomas Dalyell or Dalziel [q. v.] at Binns, Linlithgowshire, is ascribed to him. Three groups, each containing five small medallion portraits (chiefly of members of the Hamilton family), which are at Hamilton Palace, Lanarkshire, bear his name and the date 1693.

[Cat. of Loan Exhibition of Works of the Old Masters and Scottish National Portraits, 1883, 1884; Bryan's Dict. of Painters, ii. 261.]

PATON, GEORGE (1721–1807), Scottish bibliographer and antiquary, born in 1721, was the son of John Paton, a bookseller in Old Parliament Square, Edinburgh, his mother being a granddaughter of George Mossman, printer to Queen Anne. After receiving a good education he became assistant to his father, and ultimately a partner with him in the business; but about 1760 both were compelled to retire on account of having been engaged in a cautionary obligation which they were unable to meet. The son shortly afterwards obtained a clerkship in the custom-house, at first at a salary of only 30l., which was ultimately raised to 70l., but it was subsequently, in accordance with a new ordinance of government, reduced to 55l.

Notwithstanding his meagre income Paton succeeded by frugal living in acquiring an extensive antiquarian library and a valuable collection of antiquities. He is said to have been in the habit of going to his duties in the custom-house without tasting anything, and to have breakfasted between four and five in the afternoon on a cup of coffee and a slice of bread and butter. In the evening he usually adjourned, with others of similar literary tastes, to John Dowie's tavern, to take his bottle of ale and ‘buffed herring,’ or ‘roasted skate and onions.’ As soon as the clock of St. Giles struck eleven he rose and retired to his house in Lady Stair's Close. Among others who used to meet him in the tavern was Constable the publisher, who states that he derived from him and David Herd ‘a great deal of information on the subject of books in general, and the literature of Scotland in particular’ (Archibald Constable and his Correspondents, i. 21). Both his library and his antiquarian and topographical knowledge were placed freely at the service both of English and Scottish antiquaries. Gough, in the preface to his second edition of ‘British Topography,’ refers to the valuable assistance he had obtained ‘by the indefatigable attention of his very ingenious and communicative friend, Mr. George Paton of the custom-house, Edinburgh.’ Among others who more or less were indebted to his communications were Lord Hailes, Bishop Percy, Ritson, Pennant, George Chalmers, and David Herd. Two volumes selected from the ‘Paton Correspondence,’ preserved in the Advocates' Library, Edinburgh, have been printed for private circulation—the one consisting of ‘Letters from Joseph Ritson, Esq., to George Paton,’ 1829; and the other of ‘Letters from Thomas Percy, John Callendar of Craigforth, David Herd, and others to George Paton,’ 1830. Two large volumes of Paton's letters to Gough are also in the Advocates' Library, and have not been published. The only independent contribution of Paton to literature is the index to Lindsay of Pitscottie's ‘History of Scotland,’ published in 1788. Although an indefatigable collector of books and antiquities, Paton saved 200l., but lost it after the age of seventy by the failure of the bank of Betham, Gardner, & Co. In 1800 Constable endeavoured to secure the influence of the Duke of Roxburghe on his behalf, but without success (ib. i. 397–9). He died on 5 March 1807, at the age of eighty-seven. His books were sold the same year, the proceeds amounting to 1,358l., and his manuscripts, prints, coins, and antiquities were dispersed in 1811.

There is a portrait of Paton in Kay's ‘Edinburgh Portraits.’ A small portrait, a private plate, was executed in 1785, and a drawing of him in chalk is preserved by the Antiquarian society of Edinburgh. Two portraits, by John Brown, are in the National Portrait Gallery, Edinburgh.

Wikisource:Periodical guidelines

Periodical literature (also called a periodical publication or simply a periodical) is a published work that appears in a new edition on a regular schedule. The most familiar examples are the newspaper, often published daily, or weekly; or the magazine, typically published weekly, monthly or as a quarterly. Other examples would be a newsletter, a literary journal or learned journal, or a yearbook. These examples are typically published and referenced by volume and issue. "Volume" typically refers to the number of years the publication has been circulated, and "Issue" refers to how many times that periodical has been published during that year. For example, the April 2011 publication of a monthly magazine first published in 2002 would be listed as, "Volume 9, Issue 4." (Roman numerals are sometimes used in reference to the Volume number.) Periodicals can be classifed into two types: popular and scholarly. The popular periodicals are magazine and newspapers, like Ebony and Esquire. The scholarly periodicals are found in libraries and databases. Examples are The Journal of Psychology and the Journal of Social Work. Trade/Professional journals are also examples of periodicals. They are written for an audience of professionals in the field.

In this guideline, "article" refers to any contributions to periodicals; this includes articles, essays, fiction and poetry.

Page structure
The title of the periodical should be the first page in the main namespace. All volumes, issues and articles should then be subpages of this page. Each possible subdivision should be new level of subpage, with the articles themselves ultimately existing as subpages of the issue, volume or other instance of the periodical (depending on how the periodical was published and released).

For example, the magazine Popular Science Monthly appears as such in the mainspace. The magazine is organised into volumes and these volumes are organised by the date of each issue. So, an article would be a subpage of an issue, which would be subpage of a volume, which would be a subpage of the periodical itself. For instance:

 * 1) Popular Science Monthly
 * 2) Popular Science Monthly/Volume 1
 * 3) Popular Science Monthly/Volume 1/May 1872
 * 4) Popular Science Monthly/Volume 1/May 1872/The Recent Eclipse of the Sun

This structure will depend on the publication of the original periodical and need not be so complicated. An example of a simpler page structure would be as follows:

 * 1) Avon Fantasy Reader
 * 2) Avon Fantasy Reader/Issue 10
 * 3) Avon Fantasy Reader/Issue 10/The Statement of Randolph Carter

Redirects
The complete chain of subpages can be unwieldy when viewed in the Category namespace, unhelpful for search purposes and can break incoming links from sister projects. To overcome this, a redirect can be made.

To do so, a new page is started with the name of the article and the text:

For example, The Recent Eclipse of the Sun redirects with  and The Statement of Randolph Carter redirects with.

Further, categories can be added to the redirect page instead of the article itself. When viewed in the Category namespace, these pages will be seen in italics. This helps to keep the category pages easy to read and uncluttered by long series of full pagenames.

Copyright
There are two copyrights to consider with periodicals:

 * 1) The issue of the periodical itself;
 * 2) Each article (and image) published in the periodical.

If the issue of the periodical is still under copyright (for instance, if it was published between and 1963 and the copyright was renewed) then it is probable that all of the articles within the issue are also still under copyright. This may not be the case if the periodical was only sold first printing rights but this requires proof and cannot be assumed. This only applies if the renewal was made during the lifetime of the author. If an author died before the copyright renewal date then all rights reverted to the author's estate and the publisher no longer had any right to renew the copyright on the author's work.

Even if the issue of the periodical is not under copyright, each article within the issue needs to be considered separately. It was possible for contributions to periodicals to have their copyrights renewed by the author or their estate. If an article is under copyright, it may not be hosted on Wikisource but it does not affect the copyright status of the remainder of the periodical.

Rh it and the Pacific Ocean—a country of the highest importance from its abundant silver districts. To this district was assigned G. K. Gilbert, as geologist in charge, whose headquarters were, for convenience of access, also placed at Salt Lake City. The fourth division is that of the Pacific, and embraces the whole of Washington Territory, that part of Oregon which lies west of the Blue Mountains, and all of California except the desert region lying east of the Sierra Nevada and south of the 38th parallel. Mr. Arnold Hague, as geologist in charge, has his headquarters at San Francisco. The director states that “as soon as the work upon the cañons and plateaus of Colorado is done, it is intended to discontinue that division and to divide it on the line of the Colorado River between the divisions of the Rocky Mountains and that of the Great Basin. ”

The corps of the geological survey, as now organized, is divided into two classes: First, members of the regular and permanent corps, who are nominated by the director and appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, their appointments being made out and oaths of office being filled in the appointment office, Department of the Interior; second, temporary appointments, which the director is authorized to make and to revoke. Appointments to positions requiring scientific knowledge and practical experience are made only after a severe scrutiny of the qualifications of the applicant. Applicants for appointment under the division of general geology are required to furnish proper evidence of a good working knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, geology, and mineralogy. Such evidence will consist of degrees of universities, or the testimony of experts in the required branches, or the result of a written examination. Applicants for appointment under the division of mining geology must furnish equivalent evidence of a working knowledge of mathematics, mechanics, mining geology, chemistry, metallurgy, and the mineralogy of economic mineral products. The corps consists of the director, eight geologists, five assistant geologists, one chief topographer, four topographers, two assistant topographers, one chemist, one photographer, one chief disbursing clerk, one disbursing clerk, three clerks, two messengers, and two watchmen. The appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, was $100,000, and the amount expended from this appropriation for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, was $79,375.57, and the amount remaining unexpended June 30, 1880, but required to meet outstanding liabilities, $20,624.43.

There are among the members of the geological survey men of established and recognized eminence in their profession. With the approval of the Secretary of the Interior the geological survey was entrusted by the superintendent of the census with the collection of statistics of the precious metals, iron, coal, petroleum, copper, lead, quicksilver, and zinc, for the census. In order to conform to the requirments of laws governing the census and the survey, the geological director and several of the
