Thornberry-Ehrlich TL. 2012. Geologic Resources Inventory Scoping Summary Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site North Dakota and Montana
The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site on August 17, 2011 at the Confluence Interpretive Center outside of Williston, North Dakota. A visit to the historic site followed the meeting. Tim Connors (NPS-GRD) facilitated the discussion of map coverage and Lisa Norby (NPS-GRD) led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at the park. After an introduction by park superintendent Andy Banta, Joseph Hartman (University of North Dakota) presented a geologic overview of the park and surrounding area. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park, Geologic Resources Division, and Northern Great Plain Network; geologists from Dickinson State University and the University of North Dakota; and a cooperator from Colorado State University (see table 2). This scoping summary highlights the GRI scoping meeting for Fort Union Trading Post National Historic Site including the geologic setting, the plan for providing a digital geologic map, a prioritized list of geologic resource management issues, a description of significant geologic features and processes, lists of recommendations and action items, and a record of meeting participants.
