Dependents do not have to establish this 90-day requirement. Page 19 (added May 5) Under the High Buck Hunts, the page number for the U.S. Forest Service maps should be 99. Page 21 (added May 5) Under the High Buck Hunts, the page number for the U.S. Forest Service maps should be 99. Page 32 (added May 14) Hunt choices 1530 – 1540 (GMUs 411-417, 419-422) within the Youth Deer category are supposed to also be for a Second Deer tag. Since these hunts were placed in the wrong category, selected applicants have the choice to either purchase a second deer tag and participate in the hunt, or return the permit and have their points restored within the Youth Deer category. Page 33 (added May 14) Hunt choices 1573 – 1583 (GMUs 411-417, 419-422) within the Youth Deer category are supposed to also be for a Second Deer tag. Since these hunts were placed in the wrong category, selected applicants have the choice to either purchase a second deer tag and participate in the hunt, or return the permit and have their points restored within the Youth Deer category. Page 35 (added May 14) Hunt choices 1621 – 1631 (GMUs 411-417, 419-422) within the Deer Hunters 65 and Over category are supposed to also be for a Second Deer tag. Since these hunts were placed in the wrong category, selected applicants have the choice to either purchase a second deer tag and participate in the hunt, or return the permit and have their points restored within the Deer Hunters 65 and Over category. Page 36 (added May 14) Hunt choices 1655 – 1667 (GMUs 411-417, 419-422) within the Deer Hunters 65 and Over category are supposed to also be for a Second Deer tag. Since these hunts were placed in the wrong category, selected applicants have the choice to either purchase a second deer tag and participate in the hunt, or return the permit and have their points restored within the Deer Hunters 65 and Over category. Page 38 (added May 14) Hunt choices 1754 – 1764 (GMUs 411-417, 419-422) within the Deer Hunters with Disabilities category are supposed to also be for a Second Deer tag. Since these hunts were placed in the wrong category, selected applicants have the choice to either purchase a second deer tag and participate in the hunt, or return the permit and have their points restored within the Deer Hunters with Disabilities category. Page 38 (added May 14) The Deer Hunters with Disabilities hunt choice, 1760 – Cypress, will not be included in the special permit drawing because it does not provide adequate access to hunters with disabilities. Page 39 (added May 14) Hunt choices 1776 – 1786 (GMUs 411-417, 419-422) within the Deer Hunters with Disabilities category are supposed to also be for a Second Deer tag. Since these hunts were placed in the wrong category, selected applicants have the choice to either purchase a second deer tag and participate in the hunt, or return the permit and have their points restored within the Deer Hunters with Disabilities category. Page 39 (added May 14) The Deer Hunters with Disabilities hunt choice, 1782 - Cypress, will not be included in the special permit drawing because it does not provide adequate access to hunters with disabilities. Page 41 (added June 22) Deer hunt note “F” incorrectly states that the hunter needs to contact the USAF Survival School. This is not accurate. The USAF Survival School will contact hunters drawn for this area. Page 50 (added April 17) The elk eastern Washington modern firearm season, Oct. 31 – Nov. 15, should include GMUs 284, 290. Page 60 (added April 30) Hunt choice 2424, Nooksack, should have hunt note “H” added, which states hunters must wear hunter orange. Page 61 (added April 30) Hunt choice 2516, Nooksack, should have hunt note “H” added, which states hunters must wear hunter orange. Page 62 (added April 29) Hunt choices 2609 – 2612, and 2617 should have hunt note “H” added, which states hunters must wear hunter orange. Page 67 (added December 2) The state of Michigan has been added to the list of states where Washington requires additional and specific processing of deer, elk, and moose carcasses before those harvested animals can be brought into the state. An emergency rule has been filed to include Michigan because chronic wasting disease (CWD) was detected in a wild, free-ranging deer after Washington’s hunting rules were adopted and the hunting regulations were published. Page 84 (added April 30) Bail forfeiture (payment of a fine on a citation) will not count towards a suspension. The pamphlet incorrectly states that the law treats bail forfeiture as a conviction that will be counted. Page 84 (added October 28) Under the “Firearm Laws” section, RCW 9.41.170 is incorrect. The pertaining RCWs are: 9.41.040, 9.41.173, and 9.41.175 Page 96 (added April 28) The landowner access fee programs are known to impact access to areas in the following GMUs: 418, 437, 448, 501, 506, 520, 524, 550, 556, 564, 568, 574, 578, 602, 603, 612, 615, 638, 642, 648, 651,653, 654, 658, 660, 667, 672, 673, and 681. Page 103 (added August 31) In the second line of the area description for Elk Area 5066 Norway Pass, USFS Trail 320 should actually be listed as USFS Trail 230.

  • Periodically Spaced Anticlines of the Columbia Plateau
    Geological Society of America Special Paper 239 1989 Periodically spaced anticlines of the Columbia Plateau Thomas R. Watters Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 20560 ABSTRACT Deformation of the continental flood-basalt in the westernmost portion of the Columbia Plateau has resulted in regularly spaced anticlinal ridges. The periodic nature of the anticlines is characterized by dividing the Yakima fold belt into three domains on the basis of spacings and orientations: (1) the northern domain, made up of the eastern segments of Umtanum Ridge, the Saddle Mountains, and the Frenchman Hills; (2) the central domain, made up of segments of Rattlesnake Ridge, the eastern segments of Horse Heaven Hills, Yakima Ridge, the western segments of Umtanum Ridge, Cleman Mountain, Bethel Ridge, and Manastash Ridge; and (3) the southern domain, made up of Gordon Ridge, the Columbia Hills, the western segment of Horse Heaven Hills, Toppenish Ridge, and Ahtanum Ridge. The northern, central, and southern domains have mean spacings of 19.6,11.6, and 27.6 km, respectively, with a total range of 4 to 36 km and a mean of 20.4 km (n = 203). The basalts are modeled as a multilayer of thin linear elastic plates with frictionless contacts, resting on a mechanically weak elastic substrate of finite thickness, that has buckled at a critical wavelength of folding. Free slip between layers is assumed, based on the presence of thin sedimentary interbeds in the Grande Ronde Basalt separating groups of flows with an average thickness of roughly 280 m.

Although previous workers have suggested that components of Siletzia were formed Geochemistry in tectonic settings including back arc basins, island arcs and ocean islands, more recent work has presented Geochemical modelling evidence for parts of Siletzia to have formed in response to partial melting of a mantle plume. In this paper, we Mantle plumes integrate geochemical and geochronological data to investigate the petrogenetic evolution of the province. Oceanic plateau Large igneous provinces The major element geochemistry of the Siletzia lava flows is used to determine the compositions of the primary magmas of the province, as well as the conditions of mantle melting. These primary magmas are compositionally similar to modern Ocean Island and Mid-Ocean Ridge lavas. Geochemical modelling of these magmas indicates they predominantly evolved through fractional crystallisation of olivine, pyroxenes, plagioclase, spinel and ap- atite in shallow magma chambers, and experienced limited interaction with crustal components.

  • Splay-Fault Origin for the Yakima Fold-And-Thrust Belt, Washington State 2 3 Thomas L
    1 Splay-fault origin for the Yakima fold-and-thrust belt, Washington State 2 3 Thomas L. Pratt, United States Geological Survey, School of Oceanography, Box 357940, 4 University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98115 5 6 ABSTRACT 7 The Yakima fold-and-thrust belt (YFTB) is a set of anticlines above reverse faults in the 8 Miocene Columbia River Basalt (CRB) flows of Washington State. The YFTB is bisected by the 9 ~1100-km-long Olympic-Wallowa geomorphic lineament (OWL). There is considerable debate 10 about the origin and earthquake potential of the YFTB and OWL, which lie near six major dams 11 and a large nuclear waste storage site. Here I show that the trends of the YFTB anticlines relative 12 to the OWL match remarkably well the trends of the principal stresses determined from Linear 13 Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM) modeling of the end of a vertical strike-slip fault. From this 14 comparison and the termination of some YFTB anticlines at the OWL, I argue that the YFTB 15 formed as splay faults caused by an abrupt decrease in the amount of strike-slip motion along the 16 OWL. If this hypothesis is correct, the OWL and YFTB are likely interconnected, deeply-rooted 17 structures capable of large earthquakes. 18 19 20 INTRODUCTION 21 The Yakima fold and thrust belt (YFTB) of central Washington State is a set of 22 prominent anticlines in the Miocene Columbia River Basalt flows (CRB; figure 1). The YFTB 23 anticlines form three distinct sets (Riedel et al., 1989 and 1994; Watters, 1989).

  • Geographies of Empty Spaces on Print and Digital Reference Maps: a Study of Washington State
    Central Washington University ScholarWorks@CWU Geography Faculty Scholarship College of the Sciences 5-15-2020 Geographies of Empty Spaces on Print and Digital Reference Maps: A Study of Washington State Sterling Quinn Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.cwu.edu/geography Part of the Human Geography Commons DOI: 10.14714/CP95.1591 PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLE Geographies of Empty Spaces on Print and Digital Reference Maps: A Study of Washington State Sterling Quinn Central Washington University [email protected] J. B. Harley’s insistence that “there is no such thing as an empty space on a map” invites critical inquiry into which places are being left blank in popular reference maps, and why. I discuss the myriad reasons that items may not appear on a map, and invite a rethinking of the way selection is conceptualized in cartographic education. In this study, several GIS- supported methods are used to identify and compare consistently empty areas in print and digital maps of Washington State made by Google, Microsoft, OpenStreetMap, Rand McNally, National Geographic, and the state Department of Transportation. I then examine the physical and human landscapes of these places using imagery overlays, queries of land ownership data, and observations from site visits. In the state of Washington, empty spaces on the map are highly con- nected with regional and global economies, and are essential for supporting the needs of urban life such as food, electricity, construction, and waste disposal. City dwellers may not ever see or recognize the intensive land uses occurring in these geographies, whose landowners include an intriguing mix of large industries, multiple levels of government, religious colonies, and individuals searching for space and solitude.
