Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Minute Man National Historical Park and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site
Thornberry-Ehrlich T. 2008. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Minute Man National Historical Park and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site
The National Park Service held a GRE scoping meeting for Minute Man National Historical Park (MIMA) and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site (SAIR) on July 11, 2007 at Minute Man National Historical Park in Concord, Massachusetts followed by a site visit to the national historical park in the afternoon. Tim Connors (NPS-GRD) facilitated the discussion of map coverage and Bruce Heise (NPS-GRD) led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at the two units. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the parks, Northeast Temperate Network, and Geologic Resources Division, geologists from the University of Massachusetts, Boston College, Wellesley College, and Andover Geologic Consulting as well as cooperators from Colorado State University (see table 1). This scoping summary highlights the GRE scoping meeting for Minute Man National Historical Park and Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site including the geologic setting, the plan for providing digital geologic maps, prioritized lists of geologic resource management issues, descriptions of significant geologic features and processes, lists of recommendations and action items, and a record of meeting participants.
