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. The limestone is simi lar in appearance to that exposed in the quarry. It has not been developed. Calcareous shales crop out in streambeds to the northwest of the limestone and are cut by calcite vein lets. They have been called limestone, but are too impure to be of economic value. Quality. - The limestone is a high-calcium type. Chemical onolyses of Jack limestone Sample Loss on Location length CaC0 ignition CaO Si0 Fe o Al 0 p s Sample 3 WYJO 2 2 3 2 3 no .

Ownership and development. -The present owner of this property is unknown . The deposit was owned in 1945 by J. A. Jack, and was operated by him from October 1941 until some time before 1949. Production was irregular, 22 tons a day being produced in March of 1943 and about 4,000 tons being produced per year. Most of the limestone was shipped to Northwestern Glass Company, of Seattle, but in 1943 about 50 tons per week was also being sent to Longview, Wash., for pu lp mills, and previously some had been shipped to a pulp mill at Anacortes. Agricultural stone was supplied to local far­ mers, and a mi 11 for crushing and grinding was located at the quarry. Rock was hauled by truck and stored in bunkers at the SNOHOMISH COUNTY 311 community of Bryant, to the west. A 7!-mile truck haul was required. An unpublished geological report on the property that was circulated in the local area states that the deposit was of a size suitable for a cement plant, but this was certainly not the case, as the deposit is now exhausted. It was not a porticularly profitable operation. The second outcrop area to the north has not been investigated sufficiently to determine its size, but it is probably too small to be of economic value.

Skagit Power Line Deposit Location, size, and accessibility. -The Skagit Power Line deposit is along the City of Seattle Skagit Power Line right-of-way in the north center of sec. 10, T. 31 N . , R. 6 E., approximately 10 miles from the town of Arlington by rood, the last 2 miles of which is on the Skagit Power Line right-of-way. The outcrop is at an altitude of about 625 feet, on a relatively flat hilltop between Bear Creek and Porter Creek in brushy logged land. The limestone forms a bed that is exposed for about 100 feet in o north-south direction and is at least 50 feet wide. Geology and description. -The deposit is a poorly exposed limestone body consisting of discontinuous weathered knobs 1 to 2 feet high and small solution depressions. The greatest vertical exposure is 6 feet. Limestone is in contact with shale, sandstone, and conglomerate on the west, but on the east an area covered with glacial drift over 100 feet wide sepo­ rates the eastern limit of limestone exposure from that of other types of bedrock. A brief exploration to the north and south did not reveal any additional limestone outcrops. The limestone is gray in color and dense or oolitic-organoclastic in texture. It is of Permian age and contains abundant fusu linid fossils. Quality. -The quality is unknown, but the limestone is probably of a high-calcium type similar to that of all the other Permian limestones in the area. Ownership and development. -The property is owned by Seattle City Light. There has been no development, and the deposit appears too small to be of economic value. However, its true size is unknown. It probably could not be devel.­ oped because of the danger of damage to power lines overhead. References.-Popoff (1949a, p. 7), Danner (1957, p. 218). Paddock (Morcrop} Deposit Location, size, and accessibility.-The Paddock, or Morcrop, limesto!'le deposit is in the SE! sec. 2, T. 31 N., R. 6 E., about 7 miles east of the town of Arlington and a few hundred feet south of the City of Seattle Skagit Power Line road, H miles west of Jim Creek. The deposit consists of at least 14 lenses of limestone, the largest of which was about 375 feet long and had a maxi­ mum width of 125 feet. It produced a little over 100,000 tons of high-calcium limestone . The other bodies are smaller, and most of them contain only a few thousand tons or less. The deposit is accessible by 5 miles of poved road connecting with the Arlington-Darrington highway near Trafton and by about 2 miles of gravel-surfaced road. The area is hilly and is covered with dense second-growth trees and brush. Geology and description. -The deposit consists of a sequence of limestone lenses interbedded with argillite, ribbon chert, graywacke, and volcanic rocks exposed along a northwest-southeast strike for a distance of 3,250 feet. When devel­ opment of the property began, only a few knobs of limestone were visible projecting through glacial drift and soil. It was thought then that the outcrops might be connected and compose a continuous bed. Subsequent stripping has shown the out­ crops to represent mostly separate individual bodies. In some cases they may have been continuous beds when deposited, but they are now seporated by faulting. The most northerly outcrop consists of dark bluish gray limestone exposed about 675 feet northwest of the main quarry, 120 feet west of the quarry road, and about 350 feet east of the Skagit Power Line.

Booth, R.B. Waitt, J.T. Whetten, and R.E. Zartman INTRODUCTION From the eastern-most edges of suburban Seattle, the Skykomish River quadrangle stretches east across the low rolling hills and broad river valleys of the Puget Lowland, across the forested foothills of the North Cascades, and across high meadowlands to the bare rock peaks of the Cascade crest. The quadrangle straddles parts of two major river systems, the Skykomish and the Snoqualmie Rivers, which drain westward from the mountains to the lowlands (figs. 1 and 2). In the late 19th Century mineral deposits were discovered in the Monte Cristo, Silver Creek and the Index mining districts within the Skykomish River quadrangle. Soon after came the geologists: Spurr (1901) studied base- and precious- metal deposits in the Monte Cristo district and Weaver (1912a) and Smith (1915, 1916, 1917) in the Index district. General geologic mapping was begun by Oles (1956), Galster (1956), and Yeats (1958a) who mapped many of the essential features recognized today. Areas in which additional studies have been undertaken are shown on figure 3. Our work in the Skykomish River quadrangle, the northwest quadrant of the Wenatchee 1° by 2° quadrangle, began in 1975 and is part of a larger mapping project covering the Wenatchee quadrangle (fig. 1). Tabor, Frizzell, Whetten, and Booth have primary responsibility for bedrock mapping and compilation.

Two quarries were selected as case studies, which are located in the Evros Region (NE Greece). Initially, the current state of the abandoned quarries was recorded and evaluated, including slopes, landscape, land use, as well as cultural elements. Four alterative scenarios for the exploitation of each quarry were proposed, taking into account the specifics of each site. Financial, environmental, and socioeconomic criteria were then used to evaluate these scenarios. The PROMETHEE method is a multi-criteria decision analysis approach and was applied to rank the alterative scenarios. The results show that the “do nothing” scenario is the worst solution for both quarries. In the quarry at Asvestades, the restoration of the area by returning the land to pre-quarry use with the shaping of the slopes and planting is considered the best solution. On the other hand, in the quarry Mikro Derio two scenarios are proposed; one provides restoring the site to its pre-quarry land use and the other is the restoration of the quarry combined with the creation of a wildlife observatory and places for alternative forms of tourism.

Therefore, it is essential to find new materials with a lower environmental impact to achieve sustainable buildings. The objective of this study was to carry out the life cycle analysis (LCA) to evaluate the environmental impacts of baked clay bricks incorporating organic waste. The scope of this comparative study of LCA covers cradle to gate and involves the extraction of clay and organic waste from the brick, transport, crushing, modelling, drying and cooking. Local sustainability within a circular economy strategy is used as a laboratory test. The energy used during the cooking process of the bricks modified with organic waste, the gas emission concentrate and the emission factors are quantified experimentally in the laboratory. Potential environmental impacts are analysed and compared using the ReCiPe midpoint LCA method using SimaPro 8.0.5.13.

Road-side plants and highway vegetation are the first targets of these vehicular emissions. This review briefly presents a snapshot of how vehicular emission can affect plants. On the contrary, the positive perspective of how road-side plants may be able to affect and influence the harmful effects of vehicular emissions has also been discussed. Ways and means by which plants can become potential bio indicators of air pollution have also been speculated. The fact that the nanocarbon particulate aspect of automobile pollutants and their interactions with road-side plants and more so on road-side agricultural crops, has not been appropriately investigated has been raised as a key concern. The need to arrive at mitigation methods to identify permanent solutions to these rising concerns has been highlighted.

Whetten, R. B. Waitt, D. A. Swanson, G. R. Byerly, D. B. Booth, M. J. Hetherington, and R. E. Zartman INTRODUCTION Bedrock of the Chelan 1:100,000 quadrangle displays a long and varied geologic history (fig. 1). Pioneer geologic work in the quadrangle began with Bailey Willis (1887, 1903) and I. C. Russell (1893, 1900). A. C. Waters (1930, 1932, 1938) made the first definitive geologic studies in the area (fig. 2). He mapped and described the metamorphic rocks and the lavas of the Columbia River Basalt Group in the vicinity of Chelan as well as the arkoses within the Chiwaukum graben (fig. 1). B. M. Page (1939a, b) detailed much of the structure and petrology of the metamorphic and igneous rocks in the Chiwaukum Mountains, further described the arkoses, and, for the first time, defined the alpine glacial stages in the area. C. L. Willis (1950, 1953) was the first to recognize the Chiwaukum graben, one of the more significant structural features of the region. The pre-Tertiary schists and gneisses are continuous with rocks to the north included in the Skagit Metamorphic Suite of Misch (1966, p. 102-103). Peter Misch and his students established a framework of North Cascade metamorphic geology which underlies much of our construct, especially in the western part of the quadrangle. Our work began in 1975 and was essentially completed in 1980.

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.
