    Geological Society of America Special Paper 325 1998 Lithostratigraphic revision and correlation of the lower part of the White River Group: South Dakota to Nebraska Dennis O. Terry, Jr. Department of Geology, University of Nebraska—Lincoln, Lincoln, Nebraska 68588-0340 ABSTRACT Lithologic correlations between type areas of the White River Group in Nebraska and South Dakota have resulted in a revised lithostratigraphy for the lower part of the White River Group. The following pedostratigraphic and lithostratigraphic units, from oldest to youngest, are newly recognized in northwestern Nebraska and can be correlated with units in the Big Badlands of South Dakota: the Yellow Mounds Pale- osol Equivalent, Interior and Weta Paleosol Equivalents, Chamberlain Pass Forma- tion, and Peanut Peak Member of the Chadron Formation. The term “Interior Paleosol Complex,” used for the brightly colored zone at the base of the White River Group in northwestern Nebraska, is abandoned in favor of a two-part division. The lower part is related to the Yellow Mounds Paleosol Series of South Dakota and rep- resents the pedogenically modified Cretaceous Pierre Shale. The upper part is com- posed of the unconformably overlying, pedogenically modified overbank mudstone facies of the Chamberlain Pass Formation (which contains the Interior and Weta Paleosol Series in South Dakota). Greenish-white channel sandstones at the base of the Chadron Formation in Nebraska (previously correlated to the Ahearn Member of the Chadron Formation in South Dakota) herein are correlated to the channel sand- stone facies of the Chamberlain Pass Formation in South Dakota. The Chamberlain Pass Formation is unconformably overlain by the Chadron Formation in South Dakota and Nebraska.

  • 4.1 Aesthetics
    Environmental Impact Analysis Aesthetics 4.1 Aesthetics This section evaluates the potential impacts of the proposed 2021 LRDP related to aesthetics, including potential impacts on scenic vistas, visual character and quality, and impacts from light and glare. 4.1.1 Environmental Setting Regional Setting The UCR campus is located on the eastern side of Riverside, in western Riverside County, California, an urbanized area surrounded by natural landscape features, hills, ridgelines, and parkland. The higher elevation hills shape the visual outline of the city’s viewshed. Specifically, the La Sierra/Norco Hills, Mount Rubidoux, Box Springs Mountains, Sycamore Canyon, and the many smaller ranges south of the city provide a visual backdrop as viewed from streets, buildings, and open spaces. The Santa Ana River watercourse and riverbed is just north of the city’s boundary line and serves as a significant natural habitat for many species of birds and other animals. It also forms a visual landmark for visitors and residents who can view this river (City of Riverside 2007a). Riverside is characterized by a pattern of auto-oriented, low- to medium-density land uses in an established urban environment typical of southern California, with areas of higher density and diverse uses in the downtown area, along Market Street and Mission Inn Avenue, approximately 3 miles from campus. Parks and open space flank both sides of the northeastern area of the city, with Mount Rubidoux Park and Fairmount Park on the western side and Box Springs Mountain Reserve Park and Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park on the eastern side. Mount Rubidoux is an approximately 1,331-foot-tall peak just west of downtown Riverside that offers views of the city and surrounding area, trails, and historic landmarks such as the Peace Bridge and the Sierra Cross (Rivers and Lands Conservancy 2018).

  • San Timoteo Creek Habitat Enhancement Project San Bernardino County, California
    UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION IX 75 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94105 FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT San Timoteo Creek Habitat Enhancement Project San Bernardino County, California Project Location and Description The Cities of Loma Linda and Redlands have requested $4,500,240.00 from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to preserve and enhance wildlife habitat along a portion of San Timoteo Creek. The project covers approximately 6.58 linear miles of San Timoteo Creek, from the confluence of the Santa Ana River to the Riverside County line. The funds will be used for property acquisition and development and implementation of an enhancement plan. The EPA is considering fulfilling this funding request. Purpose and Need for the Proposed Action The purpose of the proposed action is to preserve existing habitat as open space in a land conservancy and to enhance more urbanized areas primarily by establishing native vegetation characteristic of the San Timoteo Creek area. Urbanization and stream channelization for flood control in the City of Loma Linda have resulted in the substantial loss of wildlife habitat in the lower reach of San Timoteo Creek. These activities are needed because San Timoteo Creek provides one of the only remaining linkages that present the opportunity to enhance wildlife corridors between the Santa Ana River and Prado Basins on the west and the San Bernardino, San Gorgonio, and San Jacinto Mountains to the east. This project will also compliment other ongoing conservation efforts upstream on the San Timoteo Creek. Environmental Consequences An Environmental Assessment (EA) was prepared for the San Timoteo Creek Habitat Enhancement Project in conformance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).

  • Birds of the San Jacinto Valley Important Bird Area the San Jacinto Valley
    Birds of the San Jacinto Valley Important Bird Area The San Jacinto Valley “Through this beautiful valley runs a good-sized river...on whose banks are large, shady groves... All its plain is full of fl owers, fertile pastures, and other vegetation.” So wrote Juan Bautista De Anza in 1774, describing the San Jacinto Valley as he came down from the mountains on his expedition from Tubac, Arizona, to San Francisco. When he came to what we now call Mystic Lake in the northern part of the valley, he wrote: “We came to the banks of a large and pleasing lake, several leagues in circum- ference and as full of white geese as of water, they being so numerous that it looked like a large, white glove.” It is clear from these early descriptions that the San Jacinto Valley has long been a haven for wildlife. While much of the valley has been developed over the years, the San Jacinto Valley is still amazingly rich with birds and other wildlife, and has the potential to remain so in perpetuity. This pamphlet describes a few of the many birds that make the San Jacinto Valley their home. Some species are rare and need protection, while others are common. Some migrate to the San Jacinto Valley from thousands of miles away, while others spend their entire lives within the confi nes of the valley. Our hope is that you get to know the birds of the San Jacinto Valley, and are moved to help protect them for future generations. 2 The San Jacinto Valley is the fl oodplain of the San Jacinto River in western Riverside County.

  • The Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary Interval in Badlands National Park, South Dakota
    The Cretaceous-Tertiary Boundary Interval in Badlands National Park, South Dakota Philip W. Stoffer1 Paula Messina John A. Chamberlain, Jr. Dennis O. Terry, Jr. U.S. Geological Survey Open-File Report 01-56 2001 U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Gale A. Norton, Secretary U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Charles G. Groat, Director The Cretaceous/Tertiary (K-T) boundary study interval at the Rainbow Colors Overlook along Badlands Loop Road, North Unit of Badlands National Park. This report is preliminary and has not been reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) editorial standards or with the North American Stratigraphic Code. Any use of trade, firm, or product names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. 1345 Middlefield Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025 http://geopubs.wr.usgs.gov/open-file/of01-056/ ABSTRACT A marine K-T boundary interval has been identified throughout the Badlands National Park region of South Dakota. Data from marine sediments suggest that deposits from two asteroid impacts (one close, one far away) may be preserved in the Badlands. These impact- generated deposits may represent late Maestrichtian events or possibly the terminal K-T event. Interpretation is supported by paleontological correlation, sequence stratigraphy, magnetostratigraphy, and strontium isotope geochronology. This research is founded on nearly a decade of NPS approved field work in Badlands National Park and a foundation of previously published data and interpretations. The K-T boundary occurs within
