  • Limestone Resources of Western Washington
    State of Washington DANIEL J. EVANS, Governor Department of Conservation H. MA URI CE AHLQUIST, Director DIVISION OF MINES AND GEOLOGY MARSHALL T. HUNTTING, Supervisor Bulletin No. 52 LIMESTONE RESOURCES OF WESTERN WASHINGTON By WILBERT R. DANNER With a section on the UME MOUNTAIN DEPOSIT By GERALD W. THORSEN STATII PRINTING PLANT, OLYMPI A, WASH, 1966 For sale by Department of Conservation, Olympia, Washington. Price, $4,50 FOREWORD Since the early days of Washington's statehood, limestone has been recognized as one of the important mineral resources _of the State. The second annual report of the Washington Geological Survey, published in 1903, gave details on the State's limestone deposits, and in later years five other reports published by the Survey and its successor agencies hove given additional information on this resource. Still other reports by Federal and private agencies hove been published in response to demands for data on limestone here. Although some of the earlier reports included analyses to show the purity of the rocks, very few of the samples for analysis were taken systemati­ cally in a way that would fairly represent the deposits sampled. Prior to 1900 limestone was produced for use as building stone here, and another important use was for the production of burned Ii me . Portland cement plants soon became leading consumers of Ii mestone, and they con­ tinue as such to the present time . Limestone is used in large quantities in the pulp industry in the Northwest, and in 1966 there was one commercial lime-burning plant in the State. Recognizing the potential for industrial development in Washington based on more intensive use of our mineral resources, and recognizing the need to up-dote the State's knowledge of raw material resources in order to channel those resources into the State's growing economy, the Industrial Row Materials Advisory Committee of the Deportment of Commerce and Economic Development in 1958 recommended that a comprehensive survey be made of the limestone resources of Washington.

  • Southern Oquirrh Mountains Fault Zone
    2399, SOUTHERN OQUIRRH MOUNTAINS FAULT ZONE Structure number: 2399. Comments: Structure name: Southern Oquirrh Mountains fault zone. Comments: As defined by Olig and others (1999), the fault zone includes the Mercur (Hecker's [1993] fault number 7-14), West Eagle Hill, Soldier Canyon, and Lakes of Kilarney faults. Synopsis: Late Quaternary normal faults bounding the west flank of the southern Oquirrh Mountains. Date of compilation: 8/01. Compiler and affiliation: Bill D. Black, Greg N. McDonald, and Mike Hylland (Utah Geological Survey), and Suzanne Hecker (U.S. Geological Survey). State: Utah. County: Tooele. 1° x 2° sheet: Tooele. Province: Basin and Range. Reliability of location: Good. Comments: Mapped or discussed by Everitt and Kaliser (1980), Barnhard and Dodge (1988), and Olig and others (2000, 2001). Mapping from Olig and others (1999). Geologic setting: En-echelon down-to-the-west normal faults bounding the western flank of the southern Oquirrh Mountains. The Oquirrh Mountains are the easternmost and highest of three distinctive north-south mountain ranges in the Basin and Range west of the high central part of the Wasatch Range. Late Quaternary sedimentation along the southwestern side of the Oquirrh Mountains (which are mainly Pennsylvanian- Permian Oquirrh Formation) is dominated by alluvial-fan sediments and deposits of Pleistocene Lake Bonneville. Sense of movement: N. Comments: Dip: No data. Comments: Dip direction: W. Geomorphic expression: The Mercur and West Eagle Hill faults comprise 17 kilometers of the total along-strike length of 25 kilometers for the Southern Oquirrh Mountain fault zone, and show repeated Quaternary movement and displacement in late Pleistocene alluvial fans and terraces (Olig and others, 1999).

All three types of rocks are used for various facing stones within the lobby. Sedimentary Rock: travertine wall panels on lobby walls. Description: Travertine is a chemical sedimentary rock formed by precipitation of carbonate minerals often influenced by microbial activity. Travertine is composed of aragonite and calcite, although iron and organic impurities can alter its color to yellow, grey, brown and even red. Travertine deposits are located either in hot or cold springs in karst areas. Water dissolves limestone at depth and become saturated with CO2. The CO2 makes the water acidic. As the groundwater resurfaces, a sudden drop in pressure causes the release of CO2 and crystallization of calcium carbonate.

  • The University of Utah Campus Master Plan
    THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN 3. Discovery CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Introduction During the Discovery and Analysis phase of this pro- cess the University’s current physical campus structure, buildings, infrastructure systems, transportation and transit use, housing needs and academic space assess- ment were examined. It was the goal of this phase of the work to gain as much understanding regarding the campus’ existing conditions and operations as possible in order to glean the major planning issues that needed to be addressed in a comprehensive campus master plan. The documentation of the analysis phase of discovery is presented in one of three sections of this overall document. The analysis that can simply be reported and those recommendations that can be outlined in a summary fashion for further implementation strategies that will be discussed later in the book. The analysis is presented in this chapter. When the analysis and information gathering defines a very specific problem or issue that has been addressed by the Plan, this document presents that analysis and observational material in the “Plan Elements” or “Transformative Projects” chapters. This chapter orga- nization allows these issues and recommendation to be more closely tied. This decision also serves to minimize redundant information, which in a campus planning project of this size and complexity, would only serve to frustrate the reader. 3 – 2 THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH CAMPUS MASTER PLAN The University of Utah 2008 (view east) 3 – 3 CHAPTER 3: DISCOVERY & ANALYSIS Campus Setting Wasatch Mountain Range Regional Context The product of 20 million years of The 1500-acre University of Utah campus is dramatical- The eastern and northern portions of the City are locat- geologic faulting, volcanic activity, and ly located at the foothills of a mountain valley with the ed on a series of terraces, or former beaches, which are glaciation, the Wasatch Mountains, the Wasatch Mountains to the east and north.
