Low-relief rocky meadows and modest forested ridges marked by scattered cinder cones and shields are common landforms in Simcoe Mountains volcanic field. Mount Adams (elevation: 12,276 ft; 3,742 m) is centered 50 km west and 2.8 km higher than foreground meadow (elevation: 2,950 ft.; 900 m); its eruptions began ~520 ka, its upper cone was built in late Pleistocene, and several eruptions have taken place in the Holocene. Signal Peak (elevation: 5,100 ft; 1,555 m), 20 km west of camera, is one of largest and highest eruptive centers in Simcoe Mountains volcanic field; short-lived shield, built around 3.7 Ma, is seven times older than Mount Adams. 2015 U.S. Department of the Interior U.S. Geological Survey Contents Introductory Overview for Non-Geologists ...............................................................................................1 Introduction.....................................................................................................................................................2 Physiography, Environment, Boundary Surveys, and Access ......................................................6 Previous Geologic

Analysis of Dishman Hills Structure and Hydrogeology Cole McGregor Eastern Washington University, Department of Geology Abstract: The structural and hydrogeology of Dishman Hills Conservation Area was interpreted to gain a better picture of its interaction with the Spokane Valley-Rathdrum Prairie aquifer. The rock in this area is Precambrian Ravalli Group with granitic migmatites. This is due to Figure 9: exhumation causing decompression melting in between the bed layers. Other rocks such as amphibolite, gneiss, schist, quartzite, and phyllite are seen along with granitic dikes (WSDNR). This rock type covers all of the Dishman area and is Precambrian in age. Due to The image shows areas of water ponding that don’t tectonic forces in the Spokane area, fractures have also formed within the Precambrian rock. Water will concentrate in fracture zones, enter the aquifer as green polygons. These seem to be known to be areas of groundwater drainage.

BCHA Annual Board Meeting By Ken Carmichael The BCHA board meeting was held in Airway Heights Washington April 23-25. This annual event is hosted by a different state each year. It is a time to be very proud of being a BCHW member. The team that put on the event did a great job. Our national directors Darrell Wallace and Jason Ridlon had the event brought to Washington and helped arrange for the nice facilities. Alternate Director Bill McKenna coordinated all of the volunteers. BCHW President Kathy Young and many volunteers were on site to help. Among those was PBCH member Doug Bailey helping with registration and other duties. BCHW Executive Director Nicole Sedgwick provided the other states with an update on the status of the Your Membership program and I spoke about the Membership Development Program. Darrell is also Vice President of BCHA. BCHW member Mike McGlenn was elected to the Executive Committee of BCHA. BCHW continues to be a leader among the states. This board meeting provided many opportunities for sharing information among the states and committees. A new feature was a break out into 4 regions to discuss issues. Then each region had the opportunity to discuss these issues with the BCHA 10 standing committees.
