  • Application of Geologic Mapping and Geographic Information Systems To
    APPLICATION OF GEOLOGIC MAPPING AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS TO DELINEATE SENSITIVE KARST AREAS FOR LAND-USE DECISIONS Jim Cichon, Alex Wood, Alan Baker and Jon Arthur Florida Geological Survey, Hydrogeology Program The Problem: The Floridan aquifer system (FAS), a thick sequence of Tertiary carbonates, is the major fresh water resource in the Florida panhandle. The expanding population of the State places an ever-growing demand on the fresh-water resources through increased land and water use. Overburden comprised of surficial aquifer sediments or intermediate confining unit (ICU) sediments may act to protect the FAS from potential contamination sources where it is present. This overburden can be several hundred feet thick where it provides variable confinement for the FAS, or it can be thin to absent in areas where carbonate units comprising the FAS are exposed at or near land surface. In areas where the overburden is thin to absent, the potential for karst terrain development is increased. Sinkholes and collapse features are more common and occur at a much Figure 1: Generalized geologic map of northwestern Florida (modified from Scott, et al. 2001). greater rate than in well-confined areas. The nature of karst terrain provides preferential flow paths for surface water to enter the underlying aquifer system, and therefore aquifer systems underlying karst terrain are at a greater risk to surface contamination potential. The Geologic Map: In Florida, areas of karst topography are associated with, but not limited to shallow and exposed carbonate rocks. The state geologic map of Florida and associated cross-sections provide this detailed lithologic information (Scott, et al, 2001).

  • Pasayten Rim Wilderness Evaluation
    May-June 2009 Pasayten Rim Wilderness Evaluation WILDERNESS EVALUATION PASAYTEN RIM - 608025 41,349 acres OVERVIEW History The area was originally inventoried as two separate roadless areas totaling approximately 15,400 acres during RARE I. The areas were Sherman Peak (12,000 acres) and Last Chance (3,400 acres). The RARE II process combined the two areas and did not recommend the area for wilderness designation. Due to nonconforming uses such as road construction and logging, 160 acres were removed from previous inventory; 10,839 acres were added to the previous inventory as they met the criteria for a potential wilderness area (PWA) as described in Forest Service Handbook (FSH) 1909.12, Chapter 70. The following chart depicts the 1989 Okanogan Forest Land and Resource Management Plan direction for the 2006 potential wilderness area. Table 1--Management area percentages (rounded) Okanogan National Forest MA32 MA37 MA45 MA46 Recreation/ Mtn. Mineral Timber/ Scenery Goat Exploration Range Habitat 45% 11% 32% 13% Location and Access The area is located northwest of Winthrop in the northern portion of the Okanogan- Wenatchee National Forest, and consists of a long, narrow band of land along the south edge of the Pasayten Wilderness. All lands are located in Okanogan County. From Winthrop, access is provided over State Highway 20, and county and national forest roads in the Chewuch River, Eightmile Creek, Lost River, and Harts Pass areas. Geography and Topography The western portion of the area consists of a long, half mile-wide band of southwest facing slope between the Harts Pass road and the Pasayten Wilderness.

  • Prototytpe Implementations of the North American Data Model
    Prototype Implementations of the North American Data Model Steering Committee Data Model for a Geologic Map Database by Ronald R. Wahl, U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, Colorado, USA ABSTRACT The National Geologic Map Database Project (NGMDB) of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been working to implement the North American Data Model Steering Committee (NADMSC) data model in a number of software systems. The NGMDB has implemented a number of prototype databases using object-relational software. Additional benefits discovered from this work are: iterative changes to the underlying data model do not change the data already in place, implementation of dynamic map generation based on map unit generalizations is straight-forward, and the geologic features are not necessary referred to by the geometry of the feature. Some of the problems encountered so far are: geologic language tables to accompany the database have been difficult to develop, a list of routine queries for use with the database have been slow to evolve, and the routine importation of multiple data formats from the same GIS software has not been solved. Introduction History Since enacting of the Geologic Mapping Act (GMA) by the Congress of the United States in 1992, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has been charged with building a national geologic map database. Under the provisions of the GMA, the Congress set forth the following objectives: “The objectives of the geologic mapping program shall include-- (1) determining the Nation's geologic framework through systematic
