  • Evaluating River Profile Geometries to Identify Evidence of Active Deformation Associated with the Doty Fault Zone in Southwest Washington
    Evaluating River Profile Geometries to Identify Evidence of Active Deformation Associated with the Doty Fault Zone in Southwest Washington Varqa Tavangar A report prepared in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science Earth and Space Sciences: Applied Geosciences University of Washington June, 2019 Project mentor: Dr. Lydia Staisch, United States Geological Survey Reading committee: Dr. Alison Duvall, University of Washington Dr. Juliet Crider, University of Washington MESSAGe Technical Report Number: 076 ©Copyright 2019 Varqa Tavangar Page 2 of 45 Executive Summary In 1996, 2007, and 2009, flooding of the Chehalis River near the Town of Chehalis in southwest Washington severely impacted infrastructure and property. Damage was such that Interstate 5, the major transportation throughway in this region, was closed for several days. In 2012, the Washington State Geological Survey and United States Geological Survey began an assessment of the seismic hazards posed by the regional and local geologic systems on proposed construction of a dam near the Town of Pe Ell, Washington. Of these structural systems, the Doty Fault Zone is of interest as; (1) its level of activity is not well known, (2) its geometry is not described in detail, (3) it extends along a portion of the Chehalis River, and (4) would pose a hazard to the construction of the dam if it were active. The Doty Uplift (DU) is one of several basement uplifts in southwest Washington, and the western extent of the Doty Fault Zone bounds the southern boundary of the DU. In this report, the morphology of streams draining the DU are studied and characterized to identify topographic evidence of active deformation associated with the Doty Fault Zone.

Water Resources Unit Nadine Romero, L.P.G., L.P.H.G. Environmental Health Subject: Rock Candy Mountain Landslide – Kennedy Creek North Fork, January 9, 2009 Purpose On Friday, January 16, 2009, Thurston County personnel Mark Biever, Ryan Langan and Nadine Romero of The Department Environmental Stewardship and Environmental Health, assisted Roads and Transportation staff on a preliminary landslide assessment of the Rocky Candy Mountain area above State Highway 8 in the Capitol Forest. It was a fact finding mission to evaluate the slide and to determine if additional failures were possible and discuss impacts to Kennedy Creek Road (County Road) at the lower limits of the slide debris. The initial site visit revealed an unexpectedly massive slide of a very complex and violent nature. On January 23, 2009 a second site visit was conducted by representatives of Washington Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW), Thurston County and GeoEngineers (private consultant). The purpose of the second site visit was to assess the area in a broad scope and discuss options among the multiple parties involved with landslide in one way or another. The second visit involved walking the failure surface from the midway point of the slide (approx El. 1200 ft) to the head scarp and discuss the potential for future slides and the potential impairment of the highways and businesses.

  • My Name Is Rob Ahlschwede and I Live at 3726 Wesley Loop NW, Olympia
    From: Shoreline Update To: Nancy Lenzi Subject: SMP RECORD -- FW: Comment to the Planning Commission on the SMP draft Date: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 11:04:53 AM From: robert ahlschwede [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, November 28, 2010 9:02 AM To: Shoreline Update Subject: Comment to the Planning Commission on the SMP draft My name is Rob Ahlschwede and I live at 3726 Wesley Loop NW, Olympia. Living outside of the city limits and the UGA, I have concerns about what this draft suggests Olympia may allow to happen on the shorelines within the city. The city that I consider my city!! My main area of concern is the listed setback distances and the heights allowed within those distances. The setbacks and heights in the draft are completely out of line with what the community and the council have indicated they want. In fact, the city council recently voted and you dealt with the down zoning to the historic 35' within the first 200 feet. The 42' in the first 100' and 65' in the next 100 is not what this community is trying to do. In fact, if you allow these figures to go forward, you are, in effect, allowing a rezone of the whole waterfront to what was just down zoned. If you allow these setbacks and heights to remain at those values it is more than possible the council will send it back to you expecting that change anyway. They did vote 7-0 on the above mentioned down zone. The other thing I am concerned about is that even at 35' the document allows(current zoning does also) for "sheds" and the like atop buildings .

  • Age and Volcanic Stratigraphy of the Eocene Siletzia Oceanic Plateau in Washington and on Vancouver Island
    RESEARCH Age and volcanic stratigraphy of the Eocene Siletzia oceanic plateau in Washington and on Vancouver Island Michael P. Eddy1,*, Kenneth P. Clark2, and Michael Polenz3 1EARTH, ATMOSPHERIC AND PLANETARY SCIENCES DEPARTMENT, MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, 77 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE, CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS 02139, USA 2GEOLOGY DEPARTMENT, UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND, 1500 N. WARNER STREET, TACOMA, WASHINGTON 98416, USA 3WASHINGTON STATE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES, DIVISION OF GEOLOGY AND EARTH RESOURCES, 1111 WASHINGTON STREET SE, MS 47007, OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON 98504, USA ABSTRACT Geophysical, geochemical, geochronologic, and stratigraphic observations all suggest that the basalts that underlie western Oregon and Washington (USA), and southern Vancouver Island (Canada) form a coherent terrane of Eocene age, named Siletzia. The total volume of basalt within Siletzia is comparable to that observed in large igneous provinces and several lines of evidence point toward the terrane’s origin as an accreted oceanic plateau. However, a thick sequence of continentally derived turbidites, named the Blue Mountain unit, has long been considered to floor the northern part of the terrane and its presence has led to alternative hypotheses in which Siletzia was built on the con- tinental margin. We present new high-precision U-Pb zircon dates from silicic tuffs and intrusive rocks throughout the basaltic basement of northern Siletzia, as well as detrital zircon age spectra and maximum depositional ages for the Blue Mountain unit to help clarify the volcanic stratigraphy of this part of the terrane. These dates show that northern Siletzia was emplaced between 53.18 ± 0.17 Ma and 48.364 ± 0.036 Ma, similar to the age and duration of magmatism in the central and southern parts of the terrane.

ARE HYDROCARBON SOURCE ROCKS BURIED BENEATH VOLCANIC FLOWS IN THE SOUTHERN WASHINGTON CASCADES? W. D. Stanley, W. J. Gwilliam*, Gary Latham*, and Keith Westhusing* U.S. Geological Survey, Box 25046, MS964, Denver Federal Center Denver, CO 80225 * Morgantown Energy Technology Center, Dept. of Energy, Box 880 Morgantown, West Virginia 26505 ABSTRACT Geophysical studies in the southern Washington Cascades have outlined a possible, previously unrecognized sequence of sedimentary rocks. These postulated sedimentary units are interpreted as corresponding to at least the upper section of a low-resistivity package of rocks at depths of 1 to 10 km and with thicknesses up to 15 km that we call the southern Washington Cascades conductor (SWCC). The upper surface of this conductive package correlates in some places with anticlinal structures that bring Tertiary marine rocks near the surface. Subsurface details of these anticlinal structures have been imaged with deep reflection surveys. The conductive rocks have also been traced to the surface west of Morton, Washington, where they correlate with marine shales of the lower Eocene Mclntosh Formation.
