Presidential Ramblings

Jeff Frederick, CPG

Summer is the busy season for geologists and other profes-sionals in the geoscience field. The season provides the best opportunity to get out there and collect the field data need-ed, or the opportunity to conduct remedial actions, construc-tion activities, and the like. My summer is no exception; work demands and family time with a new baby have con-sumed my summer. My autumn vacation this year will con-sist of a week-long regatta in Newport, RI… where my team-mates and I will compete in the J24 World Championships! This is our second attempt at the World title, and as always,

(Ramblings continued on page 12)

we will have our work cut out for us. I plan to provide pho-tos and a narrative of the event in the Fall newsletter. Until then, enjoy what little remains of the summer, and be safe.

We’d love to hear from professionals and students about your summer vacation or field activities that take you to geologi-cally interesting locations! Please submit photos and narra-tives to me, or directly to the newsletter editor at [email protected] or directly to the newsletter editor at [email protected] (End)

The draft October 2013 meeting minutes had been circu-lated prior to the December 2013 Ex Com meeting, but edits to the draft minutes were tabled during the Decem-

ber and January 2014 Ex Com meetings. The draft Octo-ber 2013 meeting minutes were reviewed; minor edits were incorporated, a motion made to accept the October 2013 meeting minutes as revised. The motion was se-conded, there was no further discussion and the October 2013 meeting minutes were approved by Ex Com vote for distribution to the Section in the Newsletter.

The draft December 2013 meeting minutes were not

available prior to the January or March 2014 Ex Com meeting. W. T. West was not present during the Decem-ber meeting, and the draft meeting minutes were record-

ed by Dennis McGrath. (Note – the draft December 2013 meeting minutes were recently circulated electronically on May 7, 2014 for review and will be discussed/approved during the Spring 2014 meeting).

The draft January 2014 meeting minutes were circulated on April 13, 2014 in advance of the March Ex Com meet-ing. However, due to time constraints and lack of pre-meeting review, a vote to approve the draft January 2014 meeting minutes was tabled for further discussion during the Spring 2014 meeting.

Treasurer’s Report: Bob Blauvelt had circulated the February 2014 treasurer’s statements for the Section ac-count and the Angelo trust fund prior to the March Ex Com meeting. The treasurer’s reports were reviewed and discussed.

Correspondence : Jeff Frederick circulated the nomina-tion request received from National. The nomination is for AIPG Section Leadership Award Nominations, which

are due to National on or before May 31, 2014. This is a reoccurring nomination process, and Jeff has emailed the link to the National nomination page and encouraged that the Ex Com consider nominations of worthy applicants from the NE Section. .

ognized that they had the opportunity to fully fund (from the recourses of the Section Budget) the full amount of the previous 2013 Scholarship awards that were given in the Spring of 2013. Last March 2013, the Section had dis-cussed and agreed to a contribution of approximately

65% of the full 2013 Scholarship award amount; at the time of the March 2013 Ex Com vote, it was agreed that the Section would consider additional funding of the scholarship trust fund to fully fund the 2013 awards. This “fully-funding” approach has been a long-standing (every

year since inception of the ATMGS in 1986) action of the Ex Com, that the ATMGS Perpetual Trust Fund can contin-ue to grow unencumbered. While the matching contribu-tion to fully fund the 2013 scholarship awards was dis-cussed several times during the 2013 Ex Com meetings, it had not been put to a vote. However, after a brief discus-sion, and acknowledgement that the fully-funding concept had been initially agreed to during the March 2013 meet-ing, a motion was made to donate the matching amount for 2013 from the Section fund to the Scholarship trust fund. The motion was seconded, briefly discussed, and then approved by Ex Com vote.

Spring 2014 Meeting: Jean Neubeck and Jessica

McEachern provided a summary of the current planning and logistics for the upcoming NE Section Spring 2014 meeting scheduled for May 15th. The meeting is sched-

uled to be a joint meeting with the Long Island Associa-tion of Professional Geologists (LIAPG). The proposed field trip includes a walking tour of the David Weld Sanc-tuary in Nissequogue, NY led by Dr. Gil Hanson, Distin-guished Service Professor in the Geosciences Department of SUNY Stony Brook. Following the field trip, a joint net-working session with LIAPG membership is scheduled for the Plainview Holiday Inn. Jean and Jessica were working to confirm a second speaker for a dinner presentation.

(Minutes continued on page 21)

Bob Blauvelt explains that NE AIPG would provide LIAPG with a listing of registered attendees and providing reim-bursement to LIAPG for registration costs for AIPG mem-

bers. Dennis McGrath agreed to provide Jessica with an example copy of the Field Trip circular so that Jessica could prepare a draft announcement for distribution to the NE-AIPG Section members in advance of the meeting.

Short Course Update: Bob Blauvelt provided additional details on the Short Course that the Section is working to present jointly with Rutgers. According to Bob, he has received license certification for the short course from the Massachusetts Licensed Site Professional (LSP) and Con-

necticut Licensed Environmental Professional (LEP) boards; Bob has also submitted the course syllabus to the New Jersey Licensed Site Remediation Professional (LSRP)

board for accreditation. The topic of the course is GIS for environmental professionals and it is tentatively scheduled for mid May (before Memorial Day). According to Bob, once the course has been approved by the New Jersey LSRP board, then, they (NE Section and Rutgers) will fi-nalize date and course syllabus.

2013-2014 ATMG Scholarship Review Committee Nomina-tions: In preparation for the Ex Com meeting, Dennis McGrath circulated a package of information summarizing the Scholarship Review Committee’s findings and recom-

mendations (see handout). The handout included a sum-mary of the scholarship review committee evaluation con-taining a scoring sheet summary, descriptions of the twenty-four (24) applications that were received, the scor-

ing criteria, a copy of the scholarship announcement, sample cover letters to faculty, and a copy of completed application form. After reviewing the handouts, Dennis then discussed the scholarship review committee scores and explained the ordinal scoring method, and finally pre-sented the scholarship review committee’s recommenda-tions of scholarship awards for the 2013-2014 award peri-od. Based on the committee’s ordinal scores and follow-up discussions, the committee is recommending that ten (10) scholarship awards be given for the 2013-2014 peri-od. In addition, Dennis noted that all applicants (whether they were awarded a scholarship or not) receive a student

membership in AIPG. Dennis confirms that he sends out email notifications to all of the applicants who submitted applications, and that he personally calls each of the ap-plicants who will receive a scholarship award to congratu-late them and to confirm where the scholarship awards

should be sent. The scholarship committee’s recommen-dations are described in detail in the handouts and also included a recommendation for Section matching dona-tions (not fully funded). In conclusion, Dennis provided clarification on the makeup of the Scholarship Board Trus-tee’s (current Ex Com officers of the Section) and re-summarized the scholarship committee recommendation for the Scholarship Board Trustee’s to consider.

Scholarship Review Committee Rotating Member: After

the summary of the 2013-2104 scholarship committee recommendation, Dennis raised the discussion of including a rotating scholarship review committee member. The current committee has been involved in the review pro-cess for quite some time (some

(Minutes continued from page 22)

members have served over a decade), and Dennis has in-cluded this year a temporary volunteer member to provide additional perspective on the scholarship review process. Dennis recommended that we consider including a female Ex Com member as a rotating member for the 2014-2015 review process.

Scholarship Board of Trustee Meeting: The regular Ex Com meeting was temporarily halted to allow the Scholar-ship Board Trustees to discuss and vote on the scholar-ship committee recommendation. The Scholarship Board Trustees present for the meeting including Jeff Fredrick, Bob Blauvelt, and W. Thomas West; the president elect position remains vacant (since 2012) . The Scholarship Board of Trustees reviewed and discussed the ten (10) awards recommended by the scholarship committee. Fol-lowing the discussion, a motion was made to except the recommendations of the scholarship committee, the mo-

tion was seconded, there was no discussion and the mo-tion was subsequently approved by the Board of Trustees as recommended by the scholarship committee.

2013-2014 ATMGS funding: Following the Scholarship

Board of Trustee meeting and vote, Dennis McGrath, speaking for the Scholarship Committee suggested that the Ex Com consider a matching contribution to the ATMGS perpetual trust fund in the amount shown on the 2014 Section draft budget. This contribution is approxi-mately 55% of the total amount of the scholarship awards approved by the Board of Trustees. During the discus-sion, Dick Young suggested that the Ex Com consider making a matching donation to the scholarship perpetual trust fund in the amount shown on the 2014 section draft budget, and to augment the contribution from the Sec-tion’s current resources for a total contribution of 73%.

(Minutes continued on page 28)

The net effect of this would be to provide sufficient cast in the ATMGS checking account, so that all of the 2014 scholarships can be paid no or within the immediate fu-ture, without having to liquidate any of the perpetual trust

fund investments. Bob Blauvelt acknowledged that the amount proposed by Dick is aggressive, and may limit other competing requests during the year. However, after further discussion, a motion was made to make a contri-bution from the Section’s account to fund 73% of the total 2013-2014 scholarship awards, and the remaining 27% of the scholarship awards would for the moment be funded from assets in Scholarship checking account. Looking ahead, the Section agreed to consider additional contribu-tions to the scholarship account, so that the Section con-tinues its long-standing (every year since inception of the ATMGS in 1986) approach of “fully-funding the Scholar-

ships, so that the perpetual trust fund can continue to grow unencumbered.

Publication Schedule: Dick Young reported on the current status of the Section Newsletter and Directory of Members

(NL and DOM). According to Dick, the editors of the NL and DOM acknowledge that they are behind in the publi-cation schedule; the last NL published was the Spring 2013 NL on August 26, 2013 (deadline of April 29th) and the DOM was supposed to be published on April 22nd, 2013. According to the update, Dick has received the draft Indian Summer newsletter today (March 3, 2014) that was due to be published on September 3, 2013. Dick indicated that he has spoken with Mike Greenman, the NL editor and Mike believes that he should be able to catch up of the publication of the remaining 2013 newsletters (Indian Summer and Holiday NL editions) in a relatively short period of time. Dick also reported that he has re-ceived the draft DOM, and has commitments from the

Publication Advertising: Dick Young reports that although

the 2013 NL and DOM publications are well behind sched-ule, he has issued advertising invoices to all 75 current advertisers for the 2014 publications. As of the March Ex Com, Dick indicated that has received approximately 25 advertising renewals, with additional commitments for ad-vertiser support. In closing Dick reminded the Ex Com

SPRING MEETING

Submitted by Jean Neubeck and Jessica McEachern

The Northeast Section (AIPG-NE) held its Spring Meeting on Thursday, May 15. The Long Island Association of Profes-sional Geologists (LIAPG) joined forces with AIPG-NE to hold a joint dinner meeting in Planview, NY. Almost 50 people were in attendance, which was roughly split between the two geologic organizations. In accordance with tradition, the day’s activities began with a meeting of the Section’s Executive Committee, followed by an afternoon field trip. Dr. Gilbert (Gil) N. Hanson from SUNY Stony Brook led approximately 15 geologists and friends through the David Weld Sanctuary on the north shore of Long Island, in Nissequogue. Dr. Hanson explained the various geologic, topographic, ecologic, and morphologic fea-tures as we progressed to the shore. The 125-acre sanctu-ary includes 3 miles of trails and 1800 feet of shoreline, con-

taining meadows, swamp, and bluffs overlooking the sandy beach. Several different habitats could be observed, pro-gressing from meadows to swamp based on the variable ground water depths and interconnection with the soil and surface drainage. The diverse landscape was formed during Long Island’s rich glacial history, some facets of which are still being studied and debated(!) today.

Some of the unusual features include large glacial erratic

boulders that appeared to be carefully placed without frac-turing the jointed rock, preserved trees protruding from the beach and making their presence known, and pebbly loess (an apparent oxymoron, but Gil has a possible explana-tion), in addition to the beautiful sandy beach and peaceful LI Sound.

(Spring Meeting continued on page 42)

The landforms and features were the result of glaciotecton-ic processes including sub-glacial meltwater that produced ‘tunnel valleys.’ Evidence of sea level changes (and associ-

ated ground water table fluctuations) includes the current high water table ecosystems, and ancient trees and erratic boulders within the intertidal zone. We could view the vari-ous features along the trail to the beach, which traversed in succession through meadow, woodland, swamp and marsh.

Traced back to the lowest point in the sanctuary (swamp), we stood in an east-west trending dry valley at the north end. Likely formed as a sub-glacial valley, the features of these valleys include U-shaped elongate depressions with steep sides that often are asymmetrical and are frequently sinuous. These (now) dry valleys lack tributaries and sig-nificant drainage basins, and abruptly occur and terminate in the landscape.

Quote: “Though the history of plate tectonics now provide us with a modus operandi, they still seem to me to be a periodic phe-nomenon. Nothing is world-wide, but everything is episodic.

In other words the history of any part of the earth, like the life of a soldier, consists of long periods of boredom and short periods of terror.” Derek Victor Ager (1923-1992, British geologist) in “The Na-ture of the Stratigraphical Record, 3rd Edition 1993, 141

After the field trip, we met in Plainview with other geologists from the Northeast Section and the LIAPG contingency to en-joy networking over drinks before sitting down to a buffet

dinner and an evening presentation. In keeping with the gla-cial geology theme, Gil’s post-dinner presentation was titled “The Younger Dryas, Pebbly Loess and Carolina Bays: Are they connected?” True to his promise to elaborate on the pebbly loess, Gil’s evening talk focused on the glacial history and the possible origin of the pebbles within the loess matrix. Pebbly loess is a common surficial sedimentary deposit found on Long Is-land. Loess is wind-blown sediment made up mostly of silt containing smaller amounts of sand; however, the wind-blown silt contains pebbles which are not usually associated with wind-blown deposits. These pebbles can be up to sever-al centimeters in diameter.

Carolina Bays, which are shallow, eliptical to circular shaped depressions, have been found on the Atlantic Coastal Plain as

well as in areas of Suffolk County. These features are char-acterized by a closed elevated rim and a flat bottom. One theory of the formation of these depressions that has been put forth is that the features are secondary impact cra-ters associated with a bolide impact with the Laurentide ice sheet that occurred 12,900 years ago during the beginning of the Younger Dryas cooling event. It is theorized that the pebbly loess found in the sanctuary locality are ejecta associ-ated with the bolide impact.

The field trip and dinner presentation offered an intriguing look at the glacial features on Long Island and demonstrated that there still are facets of glacial history yet to be deter-mined. It is the goal of continuing studies by Gil and many others to gain additional knowledge and further our under-standing of glacial events and processes.

Editor’s Note: I read this article with some personal involve-ment. My brother, who lives in Pittsburgh, and flew in and out of the Pittsburgh airport several times a week, has for many years, told me about its decline which began when US Airways dropped Pittsburgh as a hub. He is a frequent flier and amateur historian and photographer, who often did pro-jects for US Airways. He has lectured at area colleges on avi-ation history.

Now Arriving at Pittsburgh International: Fracking

PITTSBURGH — Where 600 flights used to take off and land

every day here at Pittsburgh International Airport, there are now about 300. Partway down Terminal B, the moving side-

walk that used to lead to a dozen gates now stops abruptly at a plain gray wall.

Pittsburgh’s airport is struggling financially and mired in debt, with sharply lower traffic ever since US Airways began phas-ing it out as a bustling hub in 2004. Long gone are the days when British Airways flew 747s to London, and TWA flew to Frankfurt.

For salvation, airport officials are looking down — about 6,000 feet. The quiet runways, it turns out, are sitting on enough natural gas to run the whole state of Pennsylvania for a year and a half, and this month, Consol Energy will drill its

first well here to tap the gas, which county officials say will bring them nearly half a billion dollars over the next 20 years.

The well is outside the airport fence but, with horizontal drill-ing, will extract the rich deposits that lie under the terminals

and runways.

The discovery could not have come at a better time for the airport, which devotes 42 percent of its annual budget to pay off its large debt, much of it incurred to build out the

gates it no longer uses. The airport has 75 gates; 62 are still available, but many of those are actually vacant, marked with the airport logo and not an airline’s.

After the drilling, which uses hydraulic fracturing, or frack-ing, begins in earnest and the natural gas royalties kick in,

the airport will receive about $20 million a year, a hefty por-tion of an operating budget currently below $91 million.

Pittsburgh is not the only airport with oil or gas exploration on its grounds. Dallas-Fort Worth has done it for years, and

there were oil and gas wells at Denver International even be-fore the airport was there.

But no other airport relies on oil and gas revenue the way Pittsburgh will. Dallas-Fort Worth, by comparison, earns $8 million from the 100 wells on its property, a fraction of its an-nual revenue of $650 million. And Denver International brought in $6.2 million in 2012, about 1 percent of its reve-nue, from its 76 wells.

Mr. Fitzgerald and others have recognized for a while that their chunk of southwestern Pennsylvania lies atop the vast Marcellus Shale, a fracker’s paradise that is among the most productive in the world. But it wasn’t until the last few years that airport officials got serious about extracting the gas.

The airport offers conditions just about ideal for fracking. For example, the airport sits above four separate layers of shale, each containing natural gas and related liquids. All of it can be reached by a single set of drilling pads, delivering their gas to the same pipelines, using a single set of roads.

With a single well, drillers can bore down a few thousand feet, turn sideways and drill lateral wells up to two miles long. In other areas of Pennsylvania, that can mean having to secure permission from hundreds of property owners. The airport, though, is 9,000 acres with a single landlord.

The need for new revenue would not be so great had it not been for the relentless consolidation in the airline industry, something Allegheny County did not anticipate when the air-port was expanded.

Kent George, head of the airport authority from 1998 to 2007, said that when US Airways, then known as USAir, told county officials that it wanted to build a hub in the 1980s, the

reply was, “We’ll do whatever you need.” Mr. George said that the local government acted “without taking a look at what the long-term exposure was,” and soon, “the airport was fat, dumb and happy with 600 flights a day.”

But then came consolidation, leaving the surviving airlines

with too many hubs. A wave of bankruptcies followed, allow-ing airlines like US Airways to break their long-term leases. The result was a decline in landing fees, gate rentals and passenger spending.

“A million passengers here, a million passengers there, and

before you know it, we had dropped considerably,” said Jay Kruisselbrink, vice president of Airmall, which manages the airport’s retail space. The terminal was built for 30 million passengers a year. The peak was just under 21 million, in 1997. Last year, there were eight million.

In response, the airport, like others, has sought to increase revenue from sources that have nothing to do with aviation.

Just about anything will be considered, as other airports have found. “It could be warehouse development,” said Bob Hazel,

a former vice president for US Airways and now a consultant. “It could be grazing.”

At Pittsburgh, one focus has been on retailing, which has suf-fered under the decline. Airmall pulled its stores into the busi-er center of the airport and brought in chains that had no presence in the Pittsburgh area. Bottega dei Sapori, an Italian specialty food store, does a lively business here.

Desigual, a Spanish clothing store, and Furla, an Italian cloth-ing and accessories shop, also draw traffic.

Mr. Kruisselbrink said the new strategy was showing promise; typical retail sales per departing passenger at an airport are

$5 to $7, he said, but Pittsburgh’s were about $14.

And the retailers themselves are trying new things. Bar Sy-mon, opened by the celebrity chef Michael Symon, put elec-tric outlets at almost every seat so patrons can recharge their laptops and smartphones.

“Will it give us another two or three beer sales?” Mr. Kruissel-brink said. “Probably.”

There are also plans to develop the airport-owned land out-

side its boundaries, with tenants paying rent to the airport. Already, Dick’s Sporting Goods has a headquarters there as well as a hangar.

But the real action is about a mile south of Pittsburgh Inter-

national’s parking lots, where bulldozers created a pancake-flat gravel pad of about eight acres nestled in the wooded rolling hills.

This month, a drilling rig will poke six holes more than a mile down and a second rig will drill horizontal offshoots that will

extend 8,000 feet or more. Work proceeds normally as airlin-ers soar past, although everyone looks up when an Air Force C-5 cargo plane roars overhead at low altitude.

Mark Stebbins, the district operations superintendent for Con-sol Energy, described it as a modest-size project for his com-pany. All of the work, which faced minimum opposition, was

approved by the airport and the Federal Aviation Administra-tion, he said as he unfolded a map on the hood of his pickup.

“Not that we don’t know where we’re at,” he said. “We have

a very comprehensive plan.”

ANOTHER VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN ICELAND

On August 31, Barbarbunga volcano on Iceland erupted. The eruption was accompanied by several large earthquakes. 10 of the quakes were above 4.5 on the Richter Scale, with one of magnitude 5.0. The eruption, although of concern to air travel, did not pose a risk as did other eruptions in the past. The prevailing winds are moving the ash to the northeast, away from air corridors.

25 Years Ago Spring 1989

President Charles Dimmick, in his Ramblings, brought up the issue of ethics in environmental geology. Most people con-

sider conflict of interest as the most common ethical prob-lem, however, there is greater issue of loyalties and obliga-tions and the ability to recognize when there is an ethical issue. As he noted, those who are in the field for the money should not be in the field and those that are in it solely to

protect the environment run the danger of having their judg-ment clouded. The idea that the main task of a professional

is to perform his or her work in a manner which upholds the highest standards of the profession. Does any action, taken

or not taken, make you uncomfortable? What obligations do

-72-

You have to you have to your client and/or your boss. If

there is an issue, how do you notify them? He states that the best way is in writing in a tactful way. It is paramount that any concerns be out in the open. Russ Slayback’s editorial concerned the growing acknowl-edgement of geologists in the community. He lamented the infighting between the different branches of geology. He stated that he now notices more about geologists in the newspapers in areas of education , groundwater contamina-

tion, seismic hazards, etc., and notes that we are slowly gaining on the engineers. He notes that lawyers are now regularly calling on geologists rather than engineers for ad-vice.

Members in the News: Haig Kasbach and Frank Markewicz were both quoted in

the NY Times in Mid-April. Haig was quoted on Environ-mental jobs in a special Careers Section of the Sunday Times. At the time starting salaries for a geologist with a

BS was $28,000/year and $35,000 with an Masters in the private sector. The New Jersey Geological Survey was unable to pay these salaries which led to difficulty in hir-ing.

Frank was featured in a Metropolitan News article deal-ing with protection of aquifers, and specifically, the lime-stone aquifer of the Black River Valley in western Morris County. The article addressed the issue of how water is doled out, especially with the discovery of new aquifers.

Considered the "Grand Canyon of the East," the gorge formed by Genesee River has rock walls that tower at 550 feet in some places. There are three large waterfalls within the park, and as many as fifty more waterfalls on the tributaries that flow into it. The three major water-falls are referred to as Upper, Middle and Lower Falls – the Seneca believed that the Middle Falls were so won-drous that it made the sun stop at midday.

The exposed bedrock in the gorge is made of Devonian shales, limestone and sandstone. Many marine fossils can be found here, as the rock was laid down in an an-cient inland sea

KNOW YOUR LOCAL GEOLOGY LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK

Many of our members and other geologists make their living investigating, analyzing and remediating groundwater on

Long Island. Long Islanders depend on rainwater as their sole source of drinking water. Pesticides, gasoline additives, pharmaceuticals, industrial waste and a host of other poi-sons make their way through the upper layers and down to the aquifers. This is true especially on the north shore

where the aquifers are closer to the surface. The sediments although thin to the north, thicken to about 2,000 feet near the south shore. In general, most water transport on the Island, runs north or south from the east-west central di-vide. At the easterly end of Long Island there is an easterly flow of groundwater due to the Peconic River. Most of the drinking water comes from the Magothy Formation. There is some penetration of groundwater downward through the confining layers. The water is fairly acidic and leads to cor-rosion in pipes. Average rainfall is about 44 inches per year with about half being lost to evaporation. Water levels in the aquifer system are in steady state with usage balancing recharge.
