    FLYSCH AND MOLASSE OF THE CLASSICAL TACONIC AND ACADIAN OROGENIES: MODELS FOR SUBSURFACE RESERVOIR SETTINGS GERALD M. FRIEDMAN Brooklyn College and Graduate School of the City University of NY, Brooklyn, NY 11210 and Northeastern Science Foundation affiliated with Brooklyn College, CUNY, P.O. Box 746, Troy, NY 12181 ABSTRACT This field trip will examine classical sections of the Appalachians including Cambro-Ordovician basin-margin and basin-slope facies (flysch) of the Taconics and braided and meandering stteam deposits (molasse) of the Catskills. The deep­ water settings are part of the Taconic sequence. These rocks include massive sandstones of excellent reservoir quality that serve as models for oil and gas exploration. With their feet, participants may straddle the classical Logan's (or Emmon 's) line thrust plane. The stream deposits are :Middle to Upper Devonian rocks of the Catskill Mountains which resulted from the Acadian Orogeny, where the world's oldest and largest freshwater clams can be found in the world's oldest back-swamp fluvial facies. These fluvial deposits make excellent models for comparable subsurface reservoir settings. INTRODUCTION This trip will be in two parts: (1) a field study of deep-water facies (flysch) of the Taconics, and (2) a field study of braided- and meandering-stream deposits (molasse) of the Catskills. The rocks of the Taconics have been debated for more than 150 years and need to be explained in detail before the field stops make sense to the uninitiated. Therefore several pages of background on these deposits precede the itinera.ry. The Catskills, however, do not need this kind of orientation, hence after the Taconics (flysch) itinerary, the field stops for the Catskills follow immediately without an insertion of background informa­ tion.

This battle was fought on August 16, 1777, in a British effort to capture American storehouses in Bennington to restock their depleting provisions. Baum had entrenched his men at the bridge across the Walloomsac River, Dragoon Redoubt, and Tory Fort, which Stark successfully attacked. Colonel Warner's Vermont militia arrived in time to assist Stark's reconstituted force in repelling Breymann's relief column of some 600 men. The British forces had underestimated the strength of their enemy and failed to get the supplies they had sought, weakening General John Burgoyne's army at Saratoga. Baum and over 200 men died and 700 men surrendered. The Americans lost 30 killed and forty wounded The Site: Hessian Hill offers picturesque views and interpretative signs about the battle. Directions: Take Route 7 east to Route 22, then take Route 22 north to Route 67.

There are four general facets of pavement condition: surface distress, ride quality, structural capacity and friction. Because the data collection tools currently available to measure structural capacity and friction are not efficient for network-level data collection, the NYSDOT condition assessment procedures are limited to certain surface distresses and to ride quality. Network-level data for these condition factors is readily available through ongoing data collection programs. Information about pavement condition and performance is critical to the decision making that occurs to successfully manage highway pavements. Accurate and timely data is used to assess system performance and deterioration, identify maintenance and reconstruction needs, and determine financing requirements. The annual assessment and reporting of pavement conditions is required by the New York State Highway Law (§ 2 Section 10). NYSDOT has assessed pavement surface distress information annually on 100% of the state highway system using a visual windshield rating system since 1981. The original paper-based collection procedure was replaced in 2004 with the E-Score electronic recording system.

  • Freeze-Up Ice Jams
    ICE JAM REFERENCE AND TROUBLE SPOTS Ice Jam Reference Ice jams cause localized flooding and can quickly cause serious problems in the NWS Albany Hydrologic Service Area (HSA). Rapid rises behind the jams can lead to temporary lakes and flooding of homes and roads along rivers. A sudden release of a jam can lead to flash flooding below with the addition of large pieces of ice in the wall of water which will damage or destroy most things in its path. Ice jams are of two forms: Freeze up and Break up. Freeze up jams usually occur early to mid winter during extremely cold weather. Break up jams usually occur mid to late winter with thaws. NWS Albany Freeze Up Jam Criteria: Three Consecutive Days with daily average temperatures <= 0°F NWS Albany Break Up Jam Criteria: 1) Ice around 1 foot thick or more? And 2) Daily Average Temperature forecast to be >= 42°F or more? Daily Average Temperature = (Tmax+Tmin)/2 Rainfall/snowmelt with a thaw will enhance the potential for break up jams as rising water helps to lift and break up the ice. A very short thaw with little or no rain/snowmelt may not be enough to break up thick ice. ** River forecasts found at: http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/forecasts.php?wfo=aly will not take into account the effect of ice. ** Ice jams usually form in preferred locations in the NWS Albany HSA. See the “Ice Jam Trouble Spots” below for a list of locations where ice jams frequently occur. Ice Jam Trouble Spots **This is not an all inclusive list, but rather a list of locations where ice jams have been reported in the past.
