INTRODUCTION Geothermal resource assessment activities during 1979 have included temperature- gradient and heat-flow investigations, geochemical investigation of mineral and ther- mal springs, geologic mapping, a resistivity survey, regional gravity measurements, and preparation of geothermal resource maps for Washington. The State of Washington thus far has received very little attention from prospec- tive geothermal developers. Consequently, the geologic, geochemical, and geophysical data base with respect to geothermal has been either scattered or nonexistent. Our assessment efforts have, therefore, been primarily directed toward synthesizing and interpreting existing data, and providing regional geophysical and geochemical data bases where none have previously existed. Attention was focused on the southwestern Cascades of Washington during 1979. The work was carried out by both subcontractors and in-house geologists. The findings of each of the project investigators working on the geothermal assessment program are presented as separate chapters in this report. Some of the individual projects are more complete than others and therefore appear as more detailed presentations. At the end of each chapter report, the principle investigators, J. Eric Schuster and Michael A. Korosec, have added further information, including comments on project status, how it relates to other projects, usefulness, work yet to be completed, future directions, and interpretations of the data. The interpretations are occasionally made with little data or background information and may not repre- sent the beliefs of the project Investigator, but are presented anyway so as to help shape future investigations in the areas affected. Temperature-Gradient and Heat-Flow Investigations Shallow drilling and measurements of temperature gradients in existing wells were accomplished in the following areas: (1) the Cowlitz River valley between Interstate 5 on the west and White Pass on the east, (2) the Mount St. Helens area, and (3) the Camas area, located in Clark County east of Vancouver, Washington. In the Cowlitz River valley, usable temperature gradients were measured in about 22 water wells located in the western portion of the valley, generally between Interstate 5 on the west and the City of Morton on the east. Temperature gradients in these wells are generally 30°C/km or less. Two gradients measured in existing wells located to the east of the City of Morton and gradients measured in five of the six 500-foot-deep gradient wells drilled during 1979 between the town of Randle and White Pass (both to the east from Morton) are 46°C/km and higher. This suggests that the transition between "Puget Lowland type" temperature gradients of about 30-40°C/km or less (with associated heat flow values of less than 40 mWatts/m2) and "High Cascade type" gradients of about 45°C/km or more (with associated heat flow values of 60 to 80 mWatts/m2 or higher) occurs between the City of Morton and the town of Randle. The transition appears to be fairly sharp (perhaps 8 kilometers or less in width) and seems to occur closer to Morton than to Randle. In the Mount St. Helens area, there are no existing wells except for three holes drilled during 1979 by the Division. The temperature gradient from St. Helens No. 1 drill hole, to the north-northwest of Mount St. Helens, is very low at 19°C/km, and appears to be affected by local hydrologic conditions. In St. Helens No. 2 drill hole, to the west of Mount St. Helens, the gradient is 38°C/km. The third drill hole, to the east-southeast of Mount St. Helens, is isothermal. In the Camas area, several gradients measured in existing water wells located to the west of 122°20'W. (about the longitude of the City of Camas) yielded temperature gradients of less than 40°C/km, but two water wells located to the east of 122°10'W. produced gradients of about 53° and 69°C/km. Two gradient wells drilled by the Division near Camas produced gradients of 31.5°C/km and 37°C/km. The former well was drilled in Tertiary volcanics and sediments and the latter entirely in late(?) Tertiary sediments. All heat flow values calculated for the Camas area fall in the range of 40 to 60 mWatts/m2. Geochemistry of Thermal and Mineral Springs During the 1979 field season, 46 springs, representing 15 different spring systems located in the Cascade and Olympic Mountains, were surveyed for temperature, flow, conductivity, and pH. Of these springs, 38 were sampled and analyzed by the Division of Geology and Earth Resources. Chemical species measured include specific conductivity, pH, Na, K, Ca, Mg, Li, SiO2, alkalinity, Cl, CO2, Br, and I. Tables 4.1 through 4.5 present a listing of the springs, their temperatures, specific conductivities, and reservoir temperatures as predicted by the SiO2-Quartz and Na-K-Ca geothermometers. Detailed descriptions, analyses, and discussions of observed chemistry for these springs are presented in Chapter IV. Geologic Mapping Geoff Clayton, from the University of Washington, mapped the volcanic geology of the Tumac Mountain-White Pass area, located to the south and east of Mount Rainier National Park. Field studies have been completed and a geologic map has been prepared. Resistivity A resistivity study was conducted in the Camas area by F. A. Rigby of Science Applications, Inc., and R. B. McEuen of Exploration Geothermics. Two regions of relatively low resistivity were found, and drill sites were recommended to test these two areas. The two Camas drill holes were located at or within a short distance of the drill sites recommended by Rigby and McEuen. Gravity During 1979, Z. F. Danes of the University of Puget Sound measured gravity at 743 stations in the south Cascades. The area covered extends from 121°W. on the east to 122°30'W. on the west, and from the Columbia River on the south to the Cowlitz River valley on the north.

Principal’s Corner Village Voice Staff “Where there is an open mind there will always be a frontier.” ~ Charles Kettering Hope you are having a great fall season. Like the beginning of any year, there is a good deal of positive energy and activity as well as some great challenges. The year has begun with an excellent group of 205 students. This number represents the highest number of students in my 23 years with the school district and a 12% increase in students from last year. In all, counting our new kindergarten students, we have 45 new students in our school this year. Most of this growth is at the K-4 level. Three years ago Trout Lake K-4 student population was about 47 students. We started the 2010-2011 school year with 82 K-4 students. As you might expect this has created some challenges. To meet this challenge we have added some additional teachers to the existing K-4 staff. In addition, we have added some support staff through the Northwest Service Academy Americorp program.

  • Late Mesozoic Or Early Tertiary Melanges in the Western Cascades of Washington
    Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources Bulletin 77, 1987 129 LATE MESOZOIC OR EARLY TERTIARY MELANGES IN THE WESTERN CASCADES OF WASHINGTON Virgil A. Frizzell, Jr. U.S. Geological Survey 2255 North Gemini Flagstaff, Arizona 86001 Rowland W. Tabor Robert E. Zartman Charles D. Blome U.S. Geological Survey U.S. Geological Survey U.S. Geological Survey 345 Middlefield Road Denver Federal Center Denver Federal Center Menlo Park, California 94025 Denver, Colorado 80225 Denver, Colorado 80225 ABSTRACT Marine rocks west of the Straight Creek fault, from Snoqualmie Pass to the Pilchuck River, are highly deformed and varied in lithology. These rocks, referred to various formations or stratigraphic units by earlier workers, should be considered two lithologically distinct melange belts. Immediately west of the Straight Creek fault from the Weden Creek area to Snoqualmie Pass, the discontinuous melange of the eastern belt consists of strongly hornfelsed rocks including chert, metabasalt, graywacke, argiUite, marble, and ultramafic rocks. Marble near Skykomish yields Permian fusu1inids with Tethyan affinities. Zircons from tonalitic gneiss northwest of Skykomish are 190 million years old, and metagabbro near Snoqualmie Pass is 165 million years old. In the western foothills, the melange of the western belt consists of pervasively sheared argillite and graywacke studded with outcrop- to mountain-scale steep-sided phacoids of chert, limestone, pillow basalt, gabbro, and tonalite; ultramafic rocks are rare. Strikes of bedding and cleavage and trends of small fold axes are mostly north-northwest to north-northeast. Rare macrofossils in foliated sedimentary rocks and radiolarians in chert phacoids are Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous in age.
