Project Abstract Summaryutah Geological Surveyproject Title: Utah 2023 Statemap Proposalproject Period: 07 01 2023 - 06 30 2025PURPOSE: the Proposed Projects Address Basic Needs for Geologic Mapping at Scales Including 1:24,000, 1:100,000, and 1:500,000 Across Utah. Additional Projects Address State and Federal Needs for 3D Geoscience, Stratigraphic Correlation, Gems Workflow, Geoheritage, and Updating Ngmdb Databases.activities: the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) Proposes Projects for the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program Statemap Funding Opportunity. All Projects Will Have 24 Monthperiod of Performance That Ends on June 30, 2025. in Part I (new Mapping), Guidance Criteria (GC) 1, the Ugs Proposes to Complete 6 New Maps That Include 4 7.5 Quadrangles (huntsville, Francis, Blanding North, and a Revised and Scope Reduced 60 of Dromedary Peak), Part of One 30 X60 Quadrangle (wildcat MT. W), and a Revision of One 30 X60 Quadrangle (panguitch). the Ugs Will Also Complete Correlative Gems Conversions for 6 Published Maps (lyman, Lake Mountain, Farmington, Allens Ranch 7.5 Quads and the Loa W and Rush Valley 30 X60 Quadrangles). in Part Ii U.s. Geoframework Initiative (usgi), Utah Geological Survey Propose the Following: in GC3, Develop a Workflow to Digitize Select Cross Sections in 3D and Provide These Data in a Gems-formatted Database. in GC4, to Address Existing Geologic and Cartographic Comments and Revisions on the State 1:500,000-SCALE Geologic Map. in GC5, to Complete the Final Publication and Creation of a Gems Level 3 Database of the Grouse Creek 30 X60 Geologic Map. in GC7, Revise and Reduce the Scope Originally Proposed to Only Include Improving Utah Data and Links to Data in the National Geologic Map Database(ngmdb). in GC9, to Further Refine and Update Our Gems Capabilities and Workflows. in GC10, to Compile a Database of Ranked Geoheritage Sites in Utah. in GC14, to Investigate and Resolve Stratigraphic Correlation and Nomenclature for the Flagstaff and Wasatch-colton Formations in the Southwestern Part of the Uinta Basin and Wasatch Plateau.deliverables and Outcomes: Deliverables and Outcomes for All Part 1 Projects Will Include PDFS of the 1:24,000- and 1:62,500-SCALE Geologic Maps With Accompanying Explanatory Materials. Submission Gems Level 3 Databases of the Accompanying Maps Mentioned Above to the Ngmdb. Part 2 Deliverables Will Include PDF Maps, Accompanying Explanatory Materials, Reports, Gems and Other Databases as Enumerated in the Proposal.intended Beneficiaries: the Proposed Projects Will Benefit a Range of Constituents That Include 1) the Citizens of Utah, 2) the Citizens of the U.s.a, 3) Private Interests Related to Development,energy and Mineral Resources, Water Resources, and Other Business Interests, and 4) Various State, Local, and Federal Governing Bodies.
