Thornberry-Ehrlich T. 2008. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary Cumberland Gap National Historical Park
The National Park Service held a GRE scoping meeting for Cumberland Gap National Historical Park (CUGA) on June 6, 2007 at the park near Middlesboro, Kentucky followed by a park site visit on June 7, 2007. 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 national historical park. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park, Southeast Region, and Geologic Resources Division, geologists from the Tennessee Division of Geology, Virginia Division of Mineral Resources, and Kentucky Geological Survey as well as cooperators from Colorado State University and College of William and Mary (see table 1). This scoping summary highlights the GRE scoping meeting for Cumberland Gap 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.
