The goals of the Phase 1 work efforts were to: 1. establish a basic understanding of the historic, geologic and hydrogeologic site conditions prior to executing Phase 2 work efforts; 2. define the locations and depths of Phase 2 boring/corings; and 3. provide a presentation of the information gathered in items 1. and 2. above in report format to the parties of the Consent Decree. The Phase 1 Progress Report is organized into four sections. Section I, Introduction, includes introductory remarks and sets forth a description of the contents of this document. Section II, Phase 1 Results, presents the results of the work completed in August through October 1986 in accordance with Tasks 1.1 to 1.4 as presented in the Winston Thomas Facility Supplemental Hydrogeologic Investigation Plan (1). Section III, Phase 2 Work Program, describes the proposed boring/coring locations and depths for the upcoming work efforts of Phase 2. Section IV, References, provides a list of all references and other pertinent data cited in this document. -1- SECTION II - PHASE 1 RESULTS The Phase 1 work efforts have included the following: 1. a literature review to evaluate the geologic and hydrogeologic characteristics of both the unconsolidated and consolidated units beneath the site prior to Phase 2 drilling efforts; 2. an evaluation of aerial photographs, topographic maps and previous work efforts to delineate the nature and extent of geomorphic and land use changes that have occurred such that potential source areas and contaminant migration pathways are defined; 3. an assessment of aerial photographs and topographic maps to delineate karst and structural features on and adjacent to the site that may indicate subsurface solution features or fracture zones in the bedrock beneath the site; 4. a review of the limits of the site(s) delineated by previous work efforts such that all drilling activities will be performed outside these limits; and 5. an inspection of the selected Phase 2 drilling work areas to assess drilling rig access and karst, structural and/or land use features. The results of these work efforts are presented in four sections: Section A, Geology and Hydrogeology which is divided into five subsections: 1) Site Location, 2) Topography, 3) Unconsolidated Deposits, 4) Bedrock Geology and 5) Hydrology and Hydrogeology; Section B, Review of Previous -2- Subsurface and Analytical Investigations; Section C, Aerial Photograph Analysis, Review of Construction Drawings and Topographic Maps; and Section D, Site Reconnaissance. A. Geology and Hydrogeology Review 1. Site Location The Winston Thomas Facility (WTF) Site is located in central Monroe County, Indiana, about 2.5 miles south of Bloomington, in the west half of the southwest quarter of Section 16, Range 1 West, Township 8 North. This facility was used as the Bloomington municipal sewage treatment plant from 1933 to 1982 when it was replaced by a facility currently in use at Dillman Road. The WTF site consists of a 17-acre (approximately) tertiary sewage treatment lagoon, two abandoned sludge lagoons, three areas of sludge drying beds, four digesters, a trickling filter and several buildings. The WTF and surrounding study area are depicted on Figure WT-1 . 2. Topography The WTF lies at an elevation between 670 feet and 690 feet above mean sea level (msl). The topography of the site as depicted on the 1980 United States Geological Survey (USCS) Bloomington and Clear Creek 7.5' Topographic Quadrangles and a 1976 Abrams Aerial Survey Topographic Map is nearly level to moderately sloping; however, steep slopes occur on the berm edges of the tertiary lagoon. The site is -3- WT- I LEGEND HORIZONTAL LIMITS OF SITE TO BE REMOVED . PHASE I SITE STUDY AREA MONITORING WELL LOCATION AS PRO- « POSED IN SUPPLEMENTAL HYDROGEO- LOGIC INVESTIGATION PLAN, MAY 1986 * * CROSS-SECTION LINE WINSTON THOMAS FACILITY SITE PLAN located in the level north-south trending valley of Clear Creek. Clear Creek flows in s southern direction along the western edge of the study area. 3. Unconsolidated Deposits Information on the unconsolidated units at the WTF study area was reviewed to: a. determine the presence, extent and and characteristics of any native undisturbed soils in which monitoring wells should be installed in Phase 2; b. define the location and characteristics of the man-disturbed or man-deposited units to define contaminant source areas; and c. evaluate the potential for the soils and other materials to provide pathways for contaminant migration. At the WTF Site, unconsolidated deposits consist of native undisturbed soils, man-disturbed soils and man-deposited units. Typically, the United Stated Department of Agriculture (USDA) places the latter two categories together into a unit known as the Udorthents loam complex due to non-field verification of their mapping procedures. The Udorthents loam complex covers approximately 90 percent of the 35 acre study area including the site (2). In the remainder of the area. -5- primarily in the northwest corner and the western edge of the WTF N study area, the native soil types consist of the Raymond silt loam and Caneyville silt loam, respectively. A soil map of the study area is provided on Figure WT-2. a) Man-Disturbed Soils and Man-Deposited Units The man-disturbed soils and man-deposited units include the tertiary lagoon deposits within the lagoon and the abandoned lagoons as well as the area in which the treatment plant buildings, roadways and facilities were constructed where soil disturbance may have occurred. The tertiary lagoon berm (see Figure WT-1) consists of silty clay. Sludge has been deposited in the lagoon from the sewage treatment process. This sludge overlies a one to two feet thick clay liner that was emplaced during the construction of the lagoon in 1967 (3, 4). The sludge is a contaminant source area; however, the low permeability of the liner and the berm that surround the source may mitigate contaminant migration. Further details on the soils and sludge encountered in the lagoon are provided in Appendix A, a compendium of data generated at the WTF from previous work efforts. Soils encountered in borings in the abandoned lagoons are described as clays mixed with sludge; however, sand, silty sand -6- WT-2 SOILS MAP-WINSTON THOMAS FACILITY LEGEND APPROXIMATE SCALE: PHASE I STUDY AREA 5OO* 0 5OO' SOURCE SOIL SURVEY OF MONROE COUNTY, USD.*., 1981 •LASIAND * tOUCX -7- ENO4NEERS, P.O. and silty clay layers mixed with weathered bedrock (3, 5) were present in some of the borings. Bedrock was encountered at depths of approximately eight feet in six of the abandoned lagoon borings. Further details on these soils and sludge found in these lagoons are provided in Appendix A. b. Native Undisturbed Soils The native soils at the study area are the Haymond silt loam, the Caneyville silt loam and Clear Creek streambed deposits. The Haymond silt loam (Hd) is a level, deep, well-drained soil formed from silty alluvium of the floodplains. Permeability values are reported to range from 0.6 to 2.0 inches per hour (2). The Caneyville silt loam (Cad) is a strongly sloping (12-18 percent) well-drained soil on the sides of uplands. This soil is formed from limestone residium with the limestone bedrock at a depth of approximately 3 feet. Permeability values range from 0.2 to 0.6 inches per hour (2). According to research work performed by Purdue and Indiana Universities the floodplain material is a silt loam (6) probably the Haymond silt loam. Clear Creek streambed deposits were described as principally sand (6).

G. SABLE, R. C. KEPFERLE, and W. L. PETERSON ABSTRACT The Harrodsburg Limestone (Mississippian) in northwest-central Kentucky consists of 20 to 50 feet of light-gray coarse-grained fossil-fragmental limestone and minor silty limestone. It underlies the Salem Limestone, overlies the Borden Formation, and includes the Leesville and Guthrie Creek Members, of the Lower Harrodsburg of P. B. Stockdale and the Harrodsburg (restricted) as used by him. INTRODUCTION The name Harrodsburg Limestone was given (Hopkins and Sieben- tlial, 1897) to a unit of predominantly carbonate rocks of Mississippian age in Indiana and was subsequently used in Kentucky.

    Geologic Contrasts in Indiana State Parks Otis W. Freeman, Indiana University The state parks of Indiana, with sites selected largely for scenic and historic reasons but partly with the intent to secure wide geo- graphical distribution for recreational purposes, contain a fairly com- plete sequence of the geological formations outcropping in the state, besides providing examples for a large majority of the physiographic principles. Evidence of vulcanism is one of the chief things missing, since all of the exposed bedrock in Indiana is of sedimentary origin. Even so, many types of igneous and metamorphic rocks can be picked up among the glacial boulders in the northern part of the state. The oldest exposed rocks are those of the Ordovician period. Ex- cellent outcrops for the study of the Ordovician strata occur in south- eastern Indiana on the west flank of the Cincinnati Arch. The beds are highly fossiliferous and one of the famous collecting grounds for the life forms of this period is near Madison. Clifty Falls State Park includes strata classified in the upper Or- dovician, the Silurian and base of the Devonian periods. The Silurian rocks occupy the hill slopes above the falls and inner gorges in the park with the Devonian capping the higher hills. The Ordovician formations in the park area from the base up- ward, begin with 25 feet of the Bellevue, followed by 115 feet of the Arnheim, 55 feet of the Waynesville, 50 feet of the Liberty, about 32 feet of the Saluda and possibly 6 feet of Whitewater. Shale predominates from the Bellevue through the Liberty and is interbedded with thin layers and lenses of limestone, and in contrast the Saluda is a thick bedded limestone with reef corals occuring near its base.

  • The Lower Carboniferous Area
    THE GEOLOGY OF The Lower Carboniferous Area OF SOUTHERN INDIANA. BY GEORGE HALL ASHLEY, PH. D., Assisted by EDW ARD M. KINDLE, PH. D. -49- LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL . INDIANAPOLIS, IND., January 15, 1902. Hon. W. S. Blatchley, State Geologist of Indiana: Sir-I have the honor to hand you herewith my report on the ge­ ology of the area of the Lower Carboniferous rocks of Bouthern Indiana. This work was planned, in accordanc'e with your instruc­ tions, primarily as a continuation of the survey of the Bedford Oolitic Limestone made north of Orange County in 1896. Pursuant to your instructions, however, the other members of the Lower Carboniferous have been mapped, and examined, 'especially for any strata of economic value. The most valuable part ot the report is believed to be given on the accompanying maps, which attempt to show the distribution of the different formations with as much or greater accuracy than has hitherto been attempted in this State. They also show graphic'ally the character of the topography by pro­ files, and the structure of the strata as a whole. In addition a columnar section is added. In order to complete the work in the time allotted it wa.s necessary to omit much work that would have been necessary for the mapping of the quaternary and the forma­ tion herein called the "Ohio River Formation," believed to be of Tertia,ry age. The field work occupied the season of 190(). The writer was assisted by Dr. Edward M. Kindle. 'rhe writer is entirely responsible for the maps and reports of Washington and Harrison counties.

    Stratigraphic Problems 323 STRATIGRAPHIC PROBLEMS INVOLVED IN DETER- MINING THE GEOLOGIC STRUCTURE IN THE LOWER MISSISSIPPIAN OUTCROP AREA OF SOUTHERN INDIANA Paris B. Stockdale, Ohio State University Introduction. At places in the outcrop belt of lower Mississippian rocks in southern Indiana, geologic structure is difficult to ascertain from a survey of the areal geology because of certain perplexing and confus- ing stratigraphic relations. Some of the data gathered for structural purposes have been incorrect as a result of failure to appreciate the na- ture of certain stratigraphic problems and to recognize the correct age and correlation of certain beds. One complex group of rocks, the Borden (Knobstone), has been more or less avoided in the past because of lack of sufficient acquaintance with details of the stratigraphy. Recent intensive study of the stratigraphy of the Borden and associated lower Mississip- pian formations of southern Indiana has brought to light several strati- graphic horizons which may be used as keys for geologic structure de- terminations. The same study has also revealed some perplexing and significant stratigraphic situations which should occasion caution on the part of the worker on geologic structure.^ The aim of this paper is to clarify some ,of the confusion which has arisen from the misunderstand- ing of some of the more important stratigraphic problems. No attempt is here made to treat the subject fully. STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LOWER MISSISSIPPIAN ROCKS OF INDIANA The Stratigraphic Column. The stratigraphic column involved in this study consists of Mississippian formations which lie beneath the Salem limestone. In the classification of the Indiana Division of Geology these formations are all considered older than Meramecian.

    A New Crinoid Fauna from the Harrodsburg Limestone (Mississippian) of Southern Indiana James R. Welch and N. Gary Lane Department of Geology- Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana 47401 Abstract A recently discovered crinoid fauna from the lower three meters of the Harrodsburg Limestone (Osagian; Mississippian) along Judah Branch, southern Monroe County, Indiana, provides new evidence for the age relations of the Bono and Canton crinoid faunas in Indiana. Fossils from Bono, Lawrence County, and Canton, Washington County, were collected in the 19th century and these localities and their stratigraphic positions are not now known. The new site has yielded 15 species of crinoids, nine of which have been reported from Canton and three from Bono. Other species found include one known from the Ramp Creek Formation below the Harrodsburg and one also found in the Salem Limestone above. This new locality thus supports the hypothesis of Lane (1972) that the Canton fauna is of early Harrodsburg age and that the Bono fauna is slightly younger, but also of Harrodsburg age. The Judah Branch fauna is almost equally divided between inadunate crinoids (8 species) and camerates (6 species) with one flexible crinoid. The fauna is thus intermediate in terms of community evolution between the Canton fossils, dominated by inadunates, and the Bono crinoids, in which camerates are predominant. Introduction During the latter part of the 19th century a series of Mississippian age crinoid faunas were described from Indiana that were typically attributed to what was called a "Keokuk" age. This meant that these Indiana rocks and fossils were judged to be of the same age as the Keokuk Limestone, the uppermost formation of the Osagian series of the Mississippian, which crops out along the west side of the Illinois Basin.
