Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Ocmulgee National Monument
KellerLynn K. 2013. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Ocmulgee National Monument
The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Ocmulgee National Monument on March 22, 2012, at park headquarters in Macon, Georgia. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the national monument, Southeast Coast Network, and Geologic Resources Division; and cooperators from Colorado State University, Georgia College, and Mercer University (see table 2, p. 14). Superintendent Jim David (Ocmulgee National Monument) welcomed the group, and highlighted the significance of the Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Program for Ocmulgee National Monument, which resulted in the realization that cultural resource parks like Ocmulgee National Monument also have natural resources, making Ocmulgee “more than mounds.” During the scoping meeting, Georgia Hybels (GRD, GIS specialist) facilitated the assessment of map coverage and needs, and Bruce Heise (GRD, GRI program coordinator) led the discussion regarding geologic features, processes, and issues. Al Mead (Georgia College, professor) provided a geologic overview of the Macon, Georgia, area and suggested many references of potential value in preparing the final GRI report (see “Selected References” section).
