Lewis, S.R., Yntema, E.R., and Brunstad, K.A Crystallization History of the 1 Ma Tieton Andesite Lava Flow, Washington, USA Lewis, S.R., Yntema, E.R., and Brunstad, K.A. Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences State University of New York - Oneonta Over 1 Ma in the Cascade Mountains, Goat Rocks Volcano produced on of the largest andesitic lava flows reaching 80 km in length. The flow had a minimum volume of 2 km3 and a thickness of up to 60 m. The flow flows through a valley pooling in the Naches Heights valley near Yakima, WA. Pine Grass Ridge Naches Heights SiO2 60.65 62.47 Ridge In this study we measure the crystal content, distribution of different sized crystals (crystal-size distribution, CSD), Plagioclase 80 87 and chemical composition of the Tieton andesite lava flow to determine the affects of crystal growth and average Pyroxene 15.6 8 chemistry have on the viscosity and heat budget of the lava flow. The goal of this study was to determine how fast Figure 3: Average values of Silica from XRF, Plagioclase, and Pyroxene phenocryst content minus groundmass based on hand sample observations for Pinegrass Ridge and Naches Heights groupings, outliers were excluded from average value data crystals grow before and during the lava flow movement. CSD analysis were used to determine how fast the initial 1A.26vi15 1B.26vi15 formation and growth of minerals occur. The geochemical data was used to calculate the viscosities of the crystal- Pinegrass melt. The subject of crystal-size distribution is still new and little data is available to compare the results with other 2.03vii15 findings. We hypothesis that the production of heat during crystal growth may counteract the ability for the lava Initial results show the highest silica content (61-63% SiO ) in the lava flow is down valley near flow to cool resulting in a lava flow that traveled further than all other reported cases of andesitic lavas flows, <10 2 Yakima and the lowest silica content (59-61% SiO ) is up valley closest to the source area. Two km. 2 basaltic andesite samples with silica content of ~55% SiO2 found on Pinegrass Ridge showing part of the flow boundary. Phenocrysts of plagioclase, pyroxene, hypersthene and magnetite comprise on Pinegrass Ridge Outlier average 25 – 35% and reside in a glassy groundmass. Initial conclusions about the Tieton andesite flow include: (1) the length of the flow appears to have been controlled by heat loss, effusion rates, and topography, (2) rock chemistry distribution points to a two chambered system with a mafic injection eruption, and (3) multiple smaller volume lava flows erupted during the waning stage of Naches Heights Naches 1A.03vii15 1C.03vii15 the eruption.

These characteristic changes Figure 4: The crystal sizes can be seen for the two main flows, Pinegrass Ridge and Naches Heights, and two of the waning flows found near the source vent. strongly control how the lava flow behaves, like viscosity, and what its final shape and dimensions will be. Marsh (1981) concluded that the crystal contents of a lava that are above 50-60% will restrict flow by lowering the viscosity. Cheng (1984) and Metzner (1985) in separate studies showed that a large suspension of crystals within the Figure 6: Field photos of the Tieton Andesite from the Pine Grass Ridge Section and Naches Heights melt have a viscosity dependent on the magma composition, eruption temperature, gases, and physical condition of the flow. Past lava flow models have been developed and used on the main assumption that the length of the flow is controlled by cooling (Pinkerton & Sparks, 1978; Guest et al., 1987; Crisp & Baloga, 1990), and the amount of lava CONCLUSIONS (Walker, 1973; Harris & Rowland, 2009). However, few attempts have been made to document the changes in crystal growth, the connected effects of the temperature at which crystals form on the interior of a lava flow, and Hypothesis A: Goat Rocks contains a single stratified magma chamber. Naches Heights (NH) flow how the magma's viscosity changes. erupted first and flowed down the Tieton river valley toward Yakima. The river then began to down cut through the NH flow. Pinegrass Ridge (PGR) erupted second flowing through the river Figure 5A Figure 5B Figure 5C down cut of NH flow creating inverse topography. The inversion of topography indicated by the outlying data point 15037. Sample 15037 matches the composition of the Pine grass Ridge flow but was taken from the Oak Creek area within the Naches Heights region. The NH flow is not seen Pinegrass Flow up valley on PGR due to the PGR lava flow covering the Naches flow. Inverted topography is evidence for multiple eruptions. It is also believed that the NH flow erupted first because of the higher silica content. The higher silica content down valley is also evidence for a stratified magma Waning Phase chamber where higher silica content is typically found near the top of the magma chamber. Hypothesis B: Goat Rocks volcano contained multiple magma chambers with one more mafic Figure 5D Figure 5E Figure 5F than the other. The mafic magma was injected into the less mafic melt driving the eruption. Figure 5A shows Pinegrass Ridge has a slightly higher aluminum than Naches Height KEY consistent with the higher calcium in Pinegrass Ridge in Figure 5B and the higher Increased iron and magnesium concentrations in the Pinegrass Ridge section and increased potassium in Naches Heights in Figure 5C.

This CHU includes the mainstem Yakima River and tributaries from its confluence with the Columbia River upstream from the mouth of the Columbia River upstream to its headwaters at the crest of the Cascade Range. The Yakima River CHU is located on the eastern slopes of the Cascade Range in south-central Washington and encompasses the entire Yakima River basin located between the Klickitat and Wenatchee Basins. The Yakima River basin is one of the largest basins in the state of Washington; it drains southeast into the Columbia River near the town of Richland, Washington. The basin occupies most of Yakima and Kittitas Counties, about half of Benton County, and a small portion of Klickitat County. This CHU does not contain any subunits because it supports one core area. A total of 1,177.2 km (731.5 mi) of stream habitat and 6,285.2 ha (15,531.0 ac) of lake and reservoir surface area in this CHU are proposed as critical habitat. One of the largest populations of bull trout (South Fork Tieton River population) in central Washington is located above the Tieton Dam and supports the core area.

    Clear Creek Dam Fish Passage Assessment First Annual Progress Report U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Mid-Columbia Fishery Resource Office Yakima Sub-Office U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Columbia-Cascades Area Office April 10, 2013 Authors: Jeff A. Thomas (USFWS) Patrick Monk (USFWS) and Arden Thomas (USBR) Foreword The Clear Creek Dam Fish Passage Assessment is a cooperative investigation being conducted by staff from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Mid-Columbia Fishery Resource Office (Yakima Sub-Office), the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Columbia-Cascades Area Office, and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (Region 3). Planning for this study began in early 2012 and the assessment will continue through 2015. This is the first of three annual progress reports which will be prepared during the course of this study. A final report will be submitted during the first half of 2016. Background The local population of bull trout which spawns in the North Fork Tieton River was not officially recognized until 2004 when biologists observed juvenile fish (obtaining genetic samples from some) and documented spawning activity for the first time during a comprehensive fish census (USFWS 2005). This census occurred above Clear Lake, a relatively small (4,400 acre-feet) impoundment formed when Clear Creek Dam was constructed on the North Fork Tieton River (hereafter North Fork) in 1914. Clear Creek Dam is located slightly less than one kilometer above Rimrock Lake, a much larger (198,000 acre-feet) reservoir impounded by Tieton Dam in 1925. Both of these dams were constructed by the U.S.

E. Church, D. A. Swanson, D. L. Williams, G. A. Clayton, U.S. Geological Survey and T. J. Close, and T. J. Peters, U.S. Bureau of Mines STUDIES RELATED TO WILDERNESS Under the provisions of the Wilderness Act (Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964) and related acts, the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Bureau of Mines have been conducting mineral surveys of wilderness and primitive areas. Areas officially designated as "wilderness," "wild," or "canoe" when the act was passed were incorporated into the National Wilderness Preservation System, and some of them are currently being- studied. The act provided that areas under consideration for wilderness designation should be studied for suitability for incorporation into the Wilderness System. The mineral surveys constitute one aspect of the suitability studies. The act directs that the results of such surveys are to be made available to the public and submitted to the President and the Congress. This report discusses the results of a mineral survey of the Goat Rocks Wilderness and adjacent roadless areas in the Gifford Pinchot and Snoqualmie National Forests, Lewis and Yakima Counties, Wash. The Goat Rocks Wilderness (NF032) was established by Public Law 88-577, September 3, 1964. The Goat Rocks Roadless Areas (06036 A, C, D) were classified as proposed wilderness additions during the Second Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE n) by the U.S.

    Late Pleistocene and Holocene aged Glacial and Climate Reconstructions in the Goat Rocks Wilderness, Washington, United States By Joshua Andrews Heard Master of Science in Geology Thesis Committee: Andrew G. Fountain, Chair Scott F. Burns Jim E. O’Connor Portland State University ©2012 ABSTRACT An abstract of the thesis of Joshua Andrews Heard for the Master of Science in Geology presented May 8th, 2012. Title: Late Pleistocene and Holocene aged Glacial and Climate Reconstructions in the Goat Rocks Wilderness, Washington, United States Eight glaciers, covering an area of 1.63 km2, reside on the northern and northeastern slopes of the Goat Rocks tallest peaks in the Cascades of central Washington. At least three glacial stands occurred downstream from these glaciers. Closest to modern glacier termini are Little Ice Age (LIA) moraines that were deposited between 1870 and 1899 AD, according to the lichenometric analysis. They are characterized by sharp, minimally eroded crests, little to no soil cover, and minimal vegetation cover. Glacier reconstructions indicate that LIA glaciers covered 8.29 km2, 76% more area than modern ice coverage. The average LIA equilibrium line altitude (ELA) of 1995 ± 70 m is ~150 m below the average modern ELA of 2149 ± 76 m. To satisfy climate conditions at the LIA ELA, the winter snow accumulation must have been 8 to 43 cm greater and mean summer temperatures 0.2 to 1.3 ºC cooler than they are now. Late Pleistocene to early Holocene (LPEH) aged moraines are located between 100 and 400 m below the LIA deposits. They have degraded moraine crests, few surface boulders, and considerable vegetation and soil cover.

  • Fish Census of the North Fork Tieton River, Yakima River Basin
    Final Report Fish Census of the North Fork Tieton River, Yakima River Basin, Washington December 15, 2005 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Mid-Columbia Fishery Resource Office Yakima Sub-Office 1917 Marsh Road Yakima, WA 98901 Background During the summers of 2002 and 2003 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Mid- Columbia Fishery Resource Office (MCRFRO) conducted presence/absence surveys for bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus) in the Yakima Basin. These surveys were conducted by snorkeling, at night, in randomly selected sampling units in accordance with the protocol developed by Peterson et al. (2002) for determining the occurrence of bull trout. In 2002, staff conducted these surveys in the upper Cle Elum River above Cle Elum Lake. In 2003, the surveys were conducted in the Waptus River, a tributary of the upper Cle Elum River. It was the original intent of the MCRFRO to continue presence/absence surveys in the middle fork of the Teanaway River during the summer of 2004. However, biologists from the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), Cle Elum Ranger District, had already undertaken this effort in 2003. With monies left from the original funding for that study, alternative bull trout survey work was considered. The North Fork of the Tieton River (North Fork) was chosen as the stream in which additional surveys to determine the presence of bull trout would fill the most important information need. The North Fork was identified in the Service’s Draft Recovery Plan (USFWS 2002) as a stream where a local population of bull trout should be reestablished. The river is also designated as Critical Habitat for bull trout (69 Fed.
