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. -

The Commission will consider adoption of land classifications and a long-term boundary for the portion of the Iron Horse State Park Trail extending from Lind east to the community of Malden including a long- term boundary that extends from Lind west to the Columbia River and the Beverly Bridge. SUPPORTING INFORMATION Appendix 1: Iron Horse State Park Trail Location and Trail Management Map Appendix 2: Descriptions of Land Classification, Conditional Uses, and Long-Term Boundary Appendix 3: Land Classification and Long-Term Boundary Map Appendix 4: Iron Horse State Park Trail Management Recommendations Appendix 5: Real Estate Plan Appendix 6: Capital Budget Request Appendix 7: Operating Budget Request SIGNIFICANT BACKGROUND INFORMATION Initial acquisition of Iron Horse State Park Trail by the State of Washington occurred in 1981. While supported by many, the sale of the former rail line was controversial for adjacent property owners, some of whom felt that the rail line should have reverted back to adjacent land owners. This concern, first expressed at initial purchase of the trail, continues to influence the planning process today. -

Hazard Input Document (HID) Final SSC Model Contents
Appendix D.1 Hanford Sitewide SSHAC Level 3 PSHA Project March 18, 2014 Hazard Input Document (HID) Final SSC Model Contents Appendix D.1 ...................................................................................................................................... 1 Appendix D.1 ...................................................................................................................................... 2 Description of Seismic Sources .................................................................................................. 2 1 Appendix D.1 Hanford Sitewide SSHAC Level 3 PSHA Project March 18, 2014 Hazard Input Document (HID) Final SSC Model This document is the Hazard Input Document (HID) that describes the Final Seismic Source Characterization (SSC) model for the Hanford PSHA. The goal of this HID is to provide sufficient information for the hazard analyst to unequivocally input the SSC model into the hazard code for calculations. In some cases, to avoid making the main text of this document unnecessarily bulky, tables defining some elements of the SSC model are included as appendices. Description of Seismic Sources Four types of seismic sources are identified in the model: seismic source zones, fault sources, and the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) intraslab and plate interface sources. Characteristics that are applicable to both the seismic source zones and fault sources are discussed first, followed by characteristics of source zones, fault sources, and CSZ sources. Common Characteristics for Source Zones and Fault Sources This section includes elements of the SSC model that are common to seismic source zones and fault sources. Rupture Size and Geometry Future earthquake ruptures are assessed to have rupture areas that are magnitude-dependent in the hazard calculations. The magnitude dependency for rupture area A is given by the following relationships as given by Hanks and Bakun (2008): M = log A + 3:98 for A≤ 537 km2; and M = 1.33 log A + 3:07 for A>537 km2. -

Unless we plan carefully, the scenic beauty, the working farms and forests, and the distinctive communities along this route could be smothered piece by piece under the next wave of urban growth.” James R. Ellis (1921 - ) “Certainly, travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of living.” Miriam Beard (1901 - 1983) “Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So. get on your way.” Dr. Seuss (1904 - 1991) 4 Contents Introduction................................................................................................................... 5 About the Author and This Project ............................................................................... 7 THE PUGET LOWLAND: SEATTLE TO NORTH BEND........................................ 9 The Downtown Seattle Waterfront .............................................................................. -
