  • Considerations for Rezoning on Lakes
    STATE OF MAINE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, CONSERVATION & FORESTRY LAND USE PLANNING COMMISSION 22 STATE HOUSE STATION WALTER E. WHITCOMB PAUL R. LEPAGE AUGUSTA, MAINE 04333-0022 COMMISSIONER GOVERNOR NICHOLAS D. LIVESAY EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Memorandum To: LUPC Commissioners From: Samantha Horn, Planning Manager Ben Godsoe, Senior Planner Date: October 5, 2018 Re: Considerations for Rezoning Near Lakes, Staff Analysis Lake resources are important to Maine’s character, environment and economy. Healthy lakes are a strong draw for local residents and visitors alike, and play a critical role in sustaining fish and wildlife populations. When the Commission considers the location of future subdivisions, it is important to be deliberate about which lakes may be near new zones for subdivisions. The May 2018 draft of rule revisions for adjacency included a proposal that any new zones for waterfront subdivision should be either 1) on a lake or pond that is within a certain distance of services (i.e., within primary or secondary locations); or 2) on a lake or pond that is already developed. Outside of primary or secondary locations, lakes under the proposed revisions that could be eligible for rezoning include management class 3, 4, and 5 lakes, as well as certain class 7 lakes. During the public hearing on the draft rule revisions, commenters raised concerns that there was not sufficient information available to tell which or how many class 7 lakes qualify as having sufficient development to make them potentially be eligible for rezoning. Without this information, commenters raised concerns that a large number of lakes could possibly be “open for development.” Commenters requested more information on which class 7 lakes could be affected by the proposal.

  • Sources of Excess Phosphate Leading to Cyanobacteria
    SOURCES OF EXCESS PHOSPHATE LEADING TO CYANOBACTERIA BLOOMS AT LAKE TEMESCAL, OAKLAND, CA. A University Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, East Bay In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Geology By Faithe Lovelace March, 2017 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Dr. Jean Moran for the countless hours she put into this project, without your insight this project would not be possible. Thank you, Dr. Michael Massey, for your help and data. Thank you, Pamela, Beitz and all East Bay Regional Park District for presenting the project and the continuous support, suggestions, and funding for the project. Thank you, Glenn, Carr for your help in the field and all the support your provided. I would like also like to thank my parents Michael and Mary Catherine for their unwavering belief and support. ii Abstract Lake Temescal is a dammed sag pond formed as a result of long-term creep along the Hayward Fault. It is a popular swimming, hiking, and fishing spot within the East Bay Regional Parks District (EBRPD). Over the past decade, the lake has experienced numerous cyanobacteria (commonly known as “blue green algae”) blooms and high 3- phosphate (PO4 ) concentrations have been implicated in the blooms, as phosphate is a typically a limiting nutrient. Further water Quality, and water chemistry testing, collected over 16 months (November, 2015 – March, 2016), provided insight into sources and cycling of phosphate in the lake and its watershed. Advanced analyses such as the ratio of total nitrogen to total phosphorous (TN:TP), X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) of lake bottom sediments, and d18O of phosphate were applied as tracers of phosphate source and cycling.

  • MAPS SHOWING RECENTLY ACTIVE FAULT BREAKS ALONG the SAN ANDREAS FAULT from MUSSEL ROCK to the CENTRAL SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS by Earl H
    U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY MAPS SHOWING RECENTLY ACTIVE FAULT BREAKS ALONG THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT FROM MUSSEL ROCK TO THE CENTRAL SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS, CALIFORNIA By E. H. Pampeyan Menlo Park, California Open-File Report 93-684 This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, product, or firm names in this publication is for descriptive purposes and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1995 MAPS SHOWING RECENTLY ACTIVE FAULT BREAKS ALONG THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT FROM MUSSEL ROCK TO THE CENTRAL SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS by Earl H. Pampeyan PURPOSE OF THIS MAP This map shows the location of lineaments and other geomorphic features interpreted to be the result of historic or relatively recent breaks within the San Andreas Fault Zone. It was compiled primarily to provide information for those concerned with land use and development on or in the fault zone, but it should also be useful in scientific studies of faulting and earthquakes. The lines on the map mark the location of suspected displacements of the ground surface by rupture along the San Andreas Fault. Map users should keep in mind that these lines are primarily guides for locating fault traces on the ground and are not necessarily located with the precision needed for every engineering or land-use project. THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT AND FAULT ZONE The San Andreas Fault Zone is a major structural break in the earth's crust that can be traced for more than 600 miles from the head of the Gulf of California in northern Mexico through western California.

  • Landslide Classification, Characterization and Susceptibility Modeling in Kwazulu- Natal
    LANDSLIDE CLASSIFICATION, CHARACTERIZATION AND SUSCEPTIBILITY MODELING IN KWAZULU- NATAL. by Rebekah Gereldene Singh Supervisors: Prof T McCarthy and Dr G.A. Botha A dissertation submitted to the Faulty of Science, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science 2009 DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation is my own, unaided work. It is being submitted for the Degree of Master of Science in the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. It has not been submitted before for any degree or examination in another University. The information used in the dissertation has been obtained while employed by the Council for Geoscience. _______________________________ (Signature of candidate) __________ day of ___________________________________ 200_____ ABSTRACT In eastern South Africa landslides are widespread owing to the dramatic topographic-, climatic-, geological- and geomorphological-gradients across the region. In the KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province numerous landslides and associated deposits are geohazards that represent threats to development and strategic infrastructure. The regional landslide inventory and susceptibility mapping project, following international classification systems and modeling techniques, has revealed the widespread occurrence of landslides. Landslide types mapped include; falls, topples, flows, translational and rotational slides. The bivariate statistical landslide susceptibility modeling method and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to evaluate landslide susceptibility, using a Geographic Information System (GIS). The huge size of some palaeo-landslides mapped is a revelation in the context of KwaZulu-Natal where recent landslide events are mainly small features triggered by intense rainfall events affecting embankments and steep hillslopes. Radiocarbon dating of organic material derived from sag ponds yielded minimum ages for the large middle to late Holocene landslide events.

  • Neotectonics of a Segment of the San Andreas Fault, Southern California (USA)
    13—22 Eiszeitalter u. Gegenwart 32 Hannover 1982 3 fig., 1 tab. Neotectonics of a Segment of the San Andreas Fault, Southern California (USA) CARLOS SCHUBERT *) Morphology, neotectonic, San Andreas fault, fault scarp, fault trenche, bassin, sedimentation, alluvium, marshes, peat bog, pond, landform description, Cenozoic, stratigraphic column. California, Littlerock-Cajon Pass Region Abstract : The San Andreas fault between Valyermo and Wrightwood is characterized by a principal fault trace marked by fault scarps and trenches, tectonic depressions filled with alluvium, marshes, peat bogs, and ponds; displaced and offset drainages, shutterridges and offset ridges, fault gouge zones, fault benches, springs, vegetation contrasts, and trees affected by earth­ quakes. Secondary fault traces diverge and rejoin the principal trace, and are characterized by lithologic contrast across them, aligned valleys, and fault gouge zones. The minimum right-lateral offset, probably due in part to the 1857 Fort Tejön earthquake, is 20 m; right-lateral offset of drainages and shutterridges ranges between 20 and several hundreds of meters. The distribution of Older Alluvium (Late Pleistocene?) suggests an approximate cumulative right-lateral offset of 3.5 km.
