Presidential Ramblings Jeff Frederick, CPG Summer is the busy season for geologists and other professionals in the geoscience field. The season provides the best opportunity to get out there and collect the field data needed, or the opportunity to conduct remedial actions, construction activities, and the like. My summer is no exception; work demands and family time with a new baby have consumed my summer. My autumn vacation this year will consist of a week-long regatta in Newport, RI… where my teammates 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 photos 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 geologically interesting locations! Please submit photos and narratives to me, or directly to the newsletter editor at pastpresident@ne-aipg.org or directly to the newsletter editor at editor@ne-aipg.org (End)

The draft October 2013 meeting minutes had been circulated prior to the December 2013 Ex Com meeting, but edits to the draft minutes were tabled during the December and January 2014 Ex Com meetings. The draft October 2013 meeting minutes were reviewed; minor edits were incorporated, a motion made to accept the October 2013 meeting minutes as revised. The motion was seconded, 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 December meeting, and the draft meeting minutes were recorded 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 meeting. However, due to time constraints and lack of premeeting 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 account and the Angelo trust fund prior to the March Ex Com meeting. The treasurer’s reports were reviewed and discussed.

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 discussed 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 continue to grow unencumbered. While the matching contribution to fully fund the 2013 scholarship awards was discussed several times during the 2013 Ex Com meetings, it had not been put to a vote. However, after a brief discussion, and acknowledgement that the fully-funding concept had been initially agreed to during the March 2013 meeting, 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 scheduled to be a joint meeting with the Long Island Association of Professional Geologists (LIAPG). The proposed field trip includes a walking tour of the David Weld Sanctuary in Nissequogue, NY led by Dr. Gil Hanson, Distinguished Service Professor in the Geosciences Department of SUNY Stony Brook. Following the field trip, a joint networking 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) -19-

Bob Blauvelt explains that NE AIPG would provide LIAPG with a listing of registered attendees and providing reimbursement to LIAPG for registration costs for AIPG members. 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.

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 finalize date and course syllabus.

mendations (see handout). The handout included a summary of the scholarship review committee evaluation containing a scoring sheet summary, descriptions of the twenty-four (24) applications that were received, the scoring 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 presented the scholarship review committee’s recommendations of scholarship awards for the 2013-2014 award period. Based on the committee’s ordinal scores and followup discussions, the committee is recommending that ten (10) scholarship awards be given for the 2013-2014 period. 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 applicants who will receive a scholarship award to congratulate them and to confirm where the scholarship awards should be sent. The scholarship committee’s recommendations are described in detail in the handouts and also included a recommendation for Section matching donations (not fully funded). In conclusion, Dennis provided clarification on the makeup of the Scholarship Board Trustee’s (current Ex Com officers of the Section) and resummarized 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 process for quite some time (some (Minutes continued on page 26) -25-

members have served over a decade), and Dennis has included 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 Scholarship Board Trustees to discuss and vote on the scholarship 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. Following the discussion, a motion was made to except the recommendations of the scholarship committee, the motion was seconded, there was no discussion and the motion 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 approximately 55% of the total amount of the scholarship awards approved by the Board of Trustees. During the discussion, 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 Section’s current resources for a total contribution of 73%.

(Minutes continued from page 26)
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 future, 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 contribution 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 contributions to the scholarship account, so that the Section continues its long-standing (every year since inception of the ATMGS in 1986) approach of “fully-funding the Scholarships, 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 publication schedule; the last NL published was the Spring 2013 NL on August 26, 2013 (deadline of April 29 th) and the DOM was supposed to be published on April 22 nd, 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 received the draft DOM, and has commitments from the (Minutes continued on page 31) -28-

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 Professional 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 features as we progressed to the shore. The 125-acre sanctuary includes 3 miles of trails and 1800 feet of shoreline, containing meadows, swamp, and bluffs overlooking the sandy beach. Several different habitats could be observed, progressing 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 fracturing 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 explanation), in addition to the beautiful sandy beach and peaceful LI Sound.

(Spring Meeting continued from page 39)
The landforms and features were the result of glaciotectonic processes including sub-glacial meltwater that produced ‘tunnel valleys.’ Evidence of sea level changes (and associated 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 various 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 significant drainage basins, and abruptly occur and terminate in the landscape. (Spring Meeting continued on page 42) -40-

Quote: “Though the history of plate tectonics now provide us with a modus operandi, they still seem to me to be a periodic phenomenon. 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 Nature 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 enjoy networking over drinks before sitting down to a buffet dinner and an evening presentation. In keeping with the glacial 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 Island. Loess is wind-blown sediment made up mostly of silt containing smaller amounts of sand; however, the windblown silt contains pebbles which are not usually associated with wind-blown deposits. These pebbles can be up to several centimeters in diameter. (Spring Meetingcontinued on page 49) -46-

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 characterized 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 craters 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 associated with the bolide impact.

IN THE NEWS Reprinted from the New York Times Editor’s Note: I read this article with some personal involvement. 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 projects for US Airways. He has lectured at area colleges on aviation history.

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 sidewalk 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 phasing 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 (In the News continued on page 56)

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 drilling, will extract the rich deposits that lie under the terminals and runways.
Natural gas deposits should provide welcome revenue for Pittsburgh’s airport, which is struggling with debt and declining traffic. Credit Jared Wickerham for The New York
“It’s like finding money,” said Rich Fitzgerald, the county executive of Allegheny County, which owns the airport. “Suddenly you’ve got this valuable asset that nobody knew was there.” (In the News continued on page 57) -56-
(In the News continued from page 56)
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 fracking, begins in earnest and the natural gas royalties kick in, the airport will receive about $20 million a year, a hefty portion 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 before 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 annual revenue of $650 million. And Denver International brought in $6.2 million in 2012, about 1 percent of its revenue, 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 airport was expanded. (In the News continued on page 60) -59-
(In the News continued from page 59)
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, allowing 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 suffered under the decline. Airmall pulled its stores into the busier 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. (In the News continued on page 63) -60-

Desigual, a Spanish clothing store, and Furla, an Italian clothing 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 Symon, opened by the celebrity chef Michael Symon, put electric outlets at almost every seat so patrons can recharge their laptops and smartphones. “Will it give us another two or three beer sales?” Mr. Kruisselbrink said. “Probably.” There are also plans to develop the airport-owned land outside 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 International’s parking lots, where bulldozers created a pancakeflat 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 airliners 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 Consol Energy, described it as a modest-size project for his company. All of the work, which faced minimum opposition, was (In the News continued on page 65) -63-

approved by the airport and the Federal Aviation Administration, 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.”

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 consider conflict of interest as the most common ethical problem, however, there is greater issue of loyalties and obligations 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 judgment 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 (25 Years Ago continued on page 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 acknowledgement 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 contamination, 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 advice. Members in the News: Haig Kasbach and Frank Markewicz were both quoted in the NY Times in Mid-April. Haig was quoted on Environmental 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 hiring. Frank was featured in a Metropolitan News article dealing with protection of aquifers, and specifically, the limestone 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 waterfalls are referred to as Upper, Middle and Lower Falls – the Seneca believed that the Middle Falls were so wondrous 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 ancient inland sea (End)

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 poisons 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 divide. 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 corrosion 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.
