  • Petrologic Comparison of Cataclastic Rocks from Shallow and Deeper Crustal Levels Within the San Andreas Fault System of Southern California
    Petrologic Comparison of Cataclastic Rocks From Shallow and Deeper Crustal Levels Within the San Andreas Fault System of Southern California J. Lawford Anderson Robert H. Osborne Department of Geological Sciences University of Southern California USGS CONTRACT NO. 14-08-0001-17732 Supported by the EARTHQUAKE HAZARDS REDUCTION PROGRAM OPEN-FILE NO. 80-987 U.S. Geological Survey OPEN FILE REPORT This report was prepared under contract to the U.S. Geological Survey and has not been reviewed for conformity with USGS editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. Opinions and conclusions expressed herein do not necessarily represent those of the USGS. Any use of trade names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the USGS. I. INTRODUCTION Studies leading to earthquake prediction and control require not only a knowledge of the causes and mechanics of earthquakes, but also an understanding of the physical, compositional, and me­ chanical properties of the geologic system in which they occur. Presently, little has been written about the nature of cataclastic rocks within fault zones except that it is generally markedly dif­ ferent from rocks on either side of the fault; that it may be fault gouge, fault breccia, cataclasite, or mylonite; 1 and that it ori­ ginates from mechanical crushing of rocks and from varying degrees of secondary chemical and mineralogical alterations by fluids mov­ ing through the fault zone (Higgins, 1971). The authors have recently completed a study of cataclastic rocks along the present trace of the San Andreas (Anderson, et al, in press) and the findings are summarized below in the section "Cataclastic Rocks within the San Andreas Fault Zone of Southern California." Our present effort has been directed at the San Gabriel Fault (Figure 1 and Plate 1) which as a deeply eroded precursor to the present San Andreas may provide intrafault mate­ rial representative of deeper crustal levels.

  • Final Redacted Station Botany Assessment
    BOTANY TECHNICAL SPECIALIST’S REPORT BURNED AREA EMERGENCY REHABILITATION for STATION FIRE Resource: Botany Fire Name: Station Fire – National Forest System Lands Month/Year: 09/2009 Author Name: Janet Nickerman, Joanna Clines, Jan Beyers with assistance from Kerry Myers, Tommy Stoughton and Krissy Day. Author Duty Station: Angeles, Sierra National Forest, PSW Research Station and the San Bernardino National Forest. Thickleaf yerba santa resprouting after a fire. (photo by Stoughton) I. SUMMARY The Station Fire started on August 26, 2009 and burned 161,188 acres. It is the largest fire in the recorded history of Los Angeles County. Until now, the largest fire was 75,000 acres. There are approximately 37 cities that surround the fire perimeter. The fire area is extremely steep, inaccessible and it supports some important and unique habitats. There is occupied and potential habitat for one federal endangered plant species and eleven Forest Service Sensitive plant species. Thirty seven plant communities were burned or impacted by suppression activities. Some of these habitats and species are at risk to further losses. For example, disturbances/degradation from post­fire impacts of sediment and ash delivery will result in loss of water quality, scouring of riparian systems and loss of wildlife habitat at natural springs and spring developments due to sediment delivery and erosion. In addition, vegetation community Page 1 of 24 recovery is at risk for delayed recovery due to invasive species and illegal Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) activity. Summary of Initial Concerns o Invasive species spread (see Specialist Report for Noxious Weeds and Non­native invasive plant species).
