New Geophysical Surveys Sample Clauses

New Geophysical Surveys. Investigations conducted in August 2015 and May 2016 provide recent nearsurface geological information to support the mapping of potential sediment resource areas offshore of Rhode Island. The surveys cover portions of state and federal waters offshore between Quonochontaug and Point Xxxxxx Harbor of Refuge. These data were acquired as part of the Phase 1 reconnaissance level study to identify larger, more extensive potential resources to be further investigated during the subsequent detailed Phase 2 study. Wider (i.e. not full coverage) trackline spacings utilizing larger sonar sweep ranges is a typical approach for such studies to cover more ground and provide a broad overview of the shallow geologic units. All the processed data, including bathymetry (NOAA), side scan sonar, and sub-bottom profiles, were reviewed and analyzed to develop an understanding of current conditions on the OCS in the area investigated. Interpretation of the geophysical data correlate well with a number of previous studies of the area, and suggest a sequence of recent sand on the seafloor, often reworked from Holocene fluvial and older glacial material, overlying glacial deltaic deposits (i.e. glacial fluvial outwash) which overlie glacial lacustrine deposits that outcrop farther offshore in deeper water. This is a simplified version of the near-surface stratigraphy, but it explains the abundance of surficial sand and larger sediment sizes on the OCS given the past environments that have occupied the region. Results from this study include maps and profiles that support an assessment of the surficial and subsurface geology in the area investigated, and more specifically provide geophysical data to interpret potential resource borrow areas on the OCS. A reconnaissance level side scan sonar mosaic of the seafloor reveals general reflectivity patterns and hence possible surficial sediment types and/or benthic substrate. These data are supplemented by sub-bottom profiles that penetrate over 98-131 ft (30-40 m) below the seafloor and reveal seismic facies indicative of sand and gravel size sediment targeted for this project. Select profiles were chosen and annotated to show the seismic stratigraphy apparent in each of the areas discussed in the next section. The interpreted sand and gravel layer (predominantly glacial deltaic deposits and overlying recent sediment) within the four resource areas was mapped on all profiles and contoured to develop a unit thickness. The resulting sedim...
