Chapter 3: the Affected Environment
Chapter 3: The Affected Environment 3.0 THE AFFECTED ENVIRONMENT 3.0.1 Introduction Chapter 3 – The Affected Environment describes the physical and biological environment (e.g., water resources, wildlife, etc.) as well as the human environment (e.g., social and economic factors, recreation, etc.), which may be affected by the range of alternatives, as described in Chapter 2 - Alternatives. Much of the information on the affected environment is compiled from detailed technical reports and other analyses prepared by the USFS and consultants. Some of these reports are attached to this FEIS as appendices. All reports are available for review as part of the Analysis File maintained for this project at the MBSNF Supervisor’s Office. References cited in this FEIS are provided in Chapter 5 - References. 3.0.2 Analysis Area The “analysis area” (referred to as the “Study Area” throughout this document) varies by resource area. The Study Area includes all public (USFS) lands as well as private land owned by Ski Lifts, Inc. and other land holders. When discussing individual projects within the Study Area, the following terms are used to distinguish the different locations within the SUP: Summit East, Summit Central, and Summit West, are collectively referred to as “The Summit.” Alpental, when discussed individually, is referred to as “Alpental.” All four ski areas are collectively referred to as “The Summit-at-Snoqualmie.” Figure 3.0-1, Study Area illustrates the boundaries of the Study Area, including The Summit and Alpental. Figure 3.0-2, 5th Field Watersheds illustrates the boundaries of the two 5th field watersheds used in this FEIS analysis: the South Fork Snoqualmie River Watershed (S.F.

Quarry Walls and in Roadcuts to the West
310 LIMESTO NES OF WESTERN WASHINGTON Slickensides on the west and east contacts indicate movement between the enclosing wall rock and the limestone . Several other fau lts and shear zones are exposed in the quarry walls and in roadcuts to the west. The limestone is contained in a sequence composed predominantly of black carbonaceous shale, but including a considerable amount of ribbon chert and minor amounts of greenstone and graywacke. These rocks are be lieved to be of Permian age and have been tentatively assigned to the Trafton sequence. The limestone is cut by numerous calcite veinlets, which stand out in relief on weathered surfaces. No fossi Is were seen. Popoff (1949a, p. 6) suggested that a continuation of the limestone might lie under an increasing thickness of over burden in a low ridge about 40 feet wide extending 1,000 feet to the north from the quarry, as the limestone bodies in this area are more resistant than the enclosing bedrock and commonly stand up as knolls and ridges. However, shale overlies the limestone on the quarry face, and the Ii mestone appears to plunge down to the north under bedrock overburden. About 1,000 feet to the northeast is a second area of limestone outcrop. It consists of two exposures- one, near a slough of the North Fork of the Stillaguamish River, which looks very much like a buried boulder and might be limestone float; and a second, which lies about 350 feet to the northwest and 150 feet above the river. At this latter locality, poorly exposed knobs of limestone project up through soi l and drift over an area of about 500 square feet.

Puget Sound Garden Railroading

In 1885, with the eastern portal decided upon, Mr. Harris rode a horse up to the site favored by Bogue for the western portal and gave the go-ahead to proceed. During the surveying, the pass name was changed from Garfield to Stampede when a group of men “stampeded” from their work due to being put under another foreman’s authority, the one who worked for Bogue. Bids were let and the Bennett brothers, Sidney and Nel- son, won by underbidding others by up to half. Their bid was $837,250 and included a $100,000 penalty if not finished within 28 months. The brothers had a reputation for getting things done, driving workers hard. Construction was started in mid-winter, February 13, 1886, holed through on May 3, 1888, and opened on May 27, 1888. Initially hand drills were used starting at each end making about 3.5 feet of progress per day. In the fall of Mike Phillips moderates this year’s clinics. 1886, air drills were introduced increasing progress to 5.9 to Photo by Bill Thurston 6.9 feet per day.
