  • Design Basis for the Living Dike Concept Prepared by SNC-Lavalin Inc
    West Coast Environmental Law Design Basis for the Living Dike Concept Prepared by SNC-Lavalin Inc. 31 July 2018 Document No.: 644868-1000-41EB-0001 Revision: 1 West Coast Environmental Law Design Basis for the Living Dike Concept West Coast Environmental Law Research Foundation and West Coast Environmental Law Association gratefully acknowledge the support of the funders who have made this work possible: © SNC-Lavalin Inc. 2018. All rights reserved. i West Coast Environmental Law Design Basis for the Living Dike Concept EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background West Coast Environmental Law (WCEL) is leading an initiative to explore the implementation of a coastal flood protection system that also protects and enhances existing and future coastal and aquatic ecosystems. The purpose of this document is to summarize available experience and provide an initial technical basis to define how this objective might be realized. This “Living Dike” concept is intended as a best practice measure to meet this balanced objective in response to rising sea levels in a changing climate. It is well known that coastal wetlands and marshes provide considerable protection against storm surge and related wave effects when hurricanes or severe storms come ashore. Studies have also shown that salt marshes in front of coastal sea dikes can reduce the nearshore wave heights by as much as 40 percent. This reduction of the sea state in front of a dike reduces the required crest elevation and volumes of material in the dike, potentially lowering the total cost of a suitable dike by approximately 30 percent. In most cases, existing investigations and studies consider the relative merits of wetlands and marshes for a more or less static sea level, which may include an allowance for future sea level rise.

    OF~ 76-~ PETR)3ENFSIS OF THE MXJNT STUART BATHOLITH PID:rrnIC EQJI\7ALENT OF THE HIGH-AIJ.JMINA BASALT ASSO:IATION by Erik H. Erikson Jr. Depart:rrent of Geology Eastern Washington State College Cheney ,Wc::.shington 99004 June 1, 1976 Abstract. The 1-bunt Stuart batholith is a Late Cretaceous calc-alkaline pluton · . canposed of intrusive phases ranging in canposition fran two-pyroxene gabbro to granite. This batholith appears to represent the plutonic counterpart of the high-alumina basalt association. Mineralogical, petrological and chrono­ logical characteristics are consistent with a m:::rlel in which the intrusive series evolved fran one batch of magnesian high-alumina basalt by successive crystal fractionation of ascending residual magrna. ' canputer m:::rleling of this intrusive sequence provides a quanti- tative evaluation of the sequential change of magrna CCIIlfX)sition. These calculations indicate that this intrusive suite is consanguineous, and that subtraction of early-fonned crystals £ran the oldest magrna is capable of reprcducing the entire magrna series with a remainder of 2-3% granitic liquid. Increasing f()tash discrepancies prcduced by the rrodeling may reflect the increasing effects of volatile transfer in progressively rrore hydrous and silicic melts. Mass-balances between the arrounts of curn-ulate and residual liquid ccnpare favorably with the observed arrounts of intenrediate rocks exposed in the batholith, but not with the mafic rocks. Ma.fie cum: ulates must lie at depth. Mafic magmas probably fractionated by crystal settling, while quartz diorite and rrore granitic magrnas underwent a process of inward crystallization producing exposed gradationally zoned plutons.Aat present erosional levels.

  • GEOLOGIC MAP of the CHELAN 30-MINUTE by 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON by R
    DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR TO ACCOMPANY MAP I-1661 U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE CHELAN 30-MINUTE BY 60-MINUTE QUADRANGLE, WASHINGTON By R. W. Tabor, V. A. Frizzell, Jr., J. T. 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.

Evergreen Park Drive S.W. P.O. Box 47250 Olympia, Washington 98504-7250 (360)664-1150 November 5, 2001 SUMMARY The Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC) submits the following comments in response to the Common Carrier Bureau’s request for comments on the National Thousands-Block Number Pooling Rollout Schedule in CC Docket No. 99-200. The WUTC submits these comments to emphasize the importance of the pooling schedule and to explain why the WUTC believes the dates established for Washington state NPAs in the pooling rollout schedule should remain intact. The WUTC further confirms that both the 509 NPA and 360 NPA are in active pooling trials. The WUTC encourages the Commission to retain the current rollout schedule for Washington pooling dates. DISCUSSION The WUTC is committed to slowing the rapid proliferation of new area codes in Washington state. In 1994, Washington had only two area codes, 206 and 509. Today, Washington has six area codes; 206, 253, 360, 425, 509, and 564. The WUTC has strongly supported the Commission’s efforts to implement national number conservation and has used the Commission-delegated authority to slow the need for more new area codes in the state. Additionally, the WUTC has used its authority to encourage conservation of numbers and consolidation of rate centers. A. The Pooling Trials In the Public Notice, the Commission stated that “[p]ooling trials that have commenced before March 2002 will be transitioned into the national pooling administration program prior to the national pooling rollout.” Public Notice, DA 01-2419 2 (Oct.
