The action includes minor work at the Gore Pass Substation and at two taps, and also the removal of two existing transmission lines; a 69-kV line between Gore Pass Substation and Green Mountain Power Plant and a 1 15-kV line between Green Mountain Power Plant and Blue River Tap. The purpose of the project is to provide additional transmission capacity into the areas of Gore Pass, Granby, Green Mountain, Dillon, Climax, Oak Creek, and Keystone, and between the generation plants in western Colorado and the major load areas in eastern Colorado. Alternat ives assessed include routing and design alternatives plus the alternatives addressed in the Hayden-Blue River Final EIS, issued by the Rural Electrification Administration in July, 1982.

  • Laramide Minor Faulting in the Colorado Front Range

The Front Range of Colorado provides an important geographic link between the northwest­ trending arches of Wyoming, which are commonly attributed to thrust deformation, and the north­ trending arches of the southern Rockies of New Mexico, which are commonly attributed to partitioned right­lateral transpression. Fault separations and kinematics provide effective tests of Laramide structural models for the Front Range arch. In the center of the arch, exposures of Precambrian crystalline rocks show no evidence of consistent strike­slip separations on north­striking faults, indicating that major right­lateral displace­ ments, if present, must be located on the margins of the arch. Fault kinematics were studied by meas­ uring nearly 5,000 slickensided faults in Mesozoic strata flanking the Front Range arch. The over­ whelming dominance of thrust and strike­slip minor faults with low­angle slickenline plunges falsi­ fies vertical tectonic hypotheses invoking dip­slip on high­angle faults.

  • An Archaeological Assessment of the Gunsight Pass Site: 5Ga4251 Archaeoastronomy and Landscape Archaeology in Middle Park, Grand County, Colorado
    For Official Use Only: Disclosure of Site Locations Prohibited (43 CFR 7.18) AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT OF THE GUNSIGHT PASS SITE: 5GA4251 ARCHAEOASTRONOMY AND LANDSCAPE ARCHAEOLOGY IN MIDDLE PARK, GRAND COUNTY, COLORADO. Revised 06/15/2017. Completed for The Colorado Historical Society State Historical Fund Project No. 2013-AS-003 Prepared By Brian O’Neil and Cheryl A. Harrison with contributions by Holly Shelton and Nicole Inman Michael S. Berry, Principal Investigator Dominquez Archaeological Research Group, Inc. 2832 Unaweep Avenue P.O. Box 3543 Grand Junction, Colorado 81502 ARPA Permit No. C-67009 DARG Project # D-2012-7 Submitted to History Colorado, the Colorado Historical Society 1200 Broadway Denver, Colorado 80203 ABSTRACT The Gunsight Pass Site (5GA4251) is in the Middle Park region of the Southern Rocky Mountains physiographic province, Grand County, Colorado. It is situated atop a prominent north-south trending ridge, southeast of Gunsight Pass, at an average elevation of 8500 feet. The site was first identified in July 2011, as an open architectural and open lithic scatter consisting of multiple surficial and half-buried rock alignments. The purpose of the archaeological assessment was to provide a detailed recording of the stone features and determine whether they represent domiciles or ceremonial features associated with vision quests, or possible astronomical alignments. Additionally, orientations toward potential sacred landscapes such as Whitely Peak, Wolford Mountain, or the Sulphur Gulch area were examined. Another significant goal of the assessment was to provide data on the site for its consideration as a Traditional Cultural Property (TCP) relevant to historic Ute, Arapahoe, and eastern Shoshoni tribes.
