Graham J. 2009. Geologic Resource Evaluation Scoping Summary: Pipestone National Monument, Minnesota
The National Park Service held a GRI scoping meeting for Pipestone National Monument (PIPE) on August 19, 2008 at the Monument’s headquarters in Pipestone, Minnesota. Lisa Norby (NPS GRD) facilitated the meeting and led the discussion regarding geologic processes and features at Pipestone National Monument. After Josh Brinkman (PIPE) presented an overview of Pipestone National Monument, Tim Connors (NPS GRD) led the discussion of map coverage. Mark Jirsa (MGS) presented a geologic overview and also led a field trip in the afternoon to some of the quarries and geologic features in the Monument. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the park and Geologic Resources Division (GRD) and cooperators from the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS), USGS, and Colorado State University (see table 2). This scoping summary highlights the GRI scoping meeting for Pipestone National Monument including the geologic setting, the plan for providing a digital geologic map, geologic resource management issues, a description of significant geologic features and processes, mapping recommendations, and a record of meeting participants (table 2).
