Site Identification of the GNSS Monument Site Name : Erlanger Four Character ID : ERLA Monument Inscription : IERS DOMES Number : 49859S001 CDP Number : (A4) Monument Description : STEEL MAST Height of the Monument : (m) Monument Foundation : ROOF Foundation Depth : (m) Marker Description : (CHISELLED CROSS/DIVOT/BRASS NAIL/etc) Date Installed : 1996-09-14T00:00Z Geologic Characteristic : BEDROCK Bedrock Type : SEDIMENTARY Bedrock Condition : WEATHERED Fracture Spacing : Generally not fractured Fault zones nearby : (YES/NO/Name of the zone) Distance/activity : (multiple lines) Additional Information : Bedrock is horizontally bedding, relatively : unfractured and unjointed and stable. : [Geological characterization and details : provided by a locally-based professional : geologist, Covington, KY. 07-Dec-2000] : The ERLA site located at 463 Erlanger Road, : Erlanger, KY is situated on a geologically : stable area locally known as the "Cincinnati : Arch" which is a very broad and northeast : trending, slightly plunging anticline. The : Erlanger area is located at the top of the : "arch" where the bedding is nearly horizontal. : Long term erosion has exposed the Ordovician- : aged shale and thinly bedded limestone bedrock. : The bedrock is generally overlain by shallow : glacial and residual soil deposits that are : stiff to very stiff in consistency and : approximately 5 to 10 feet thick over the : bedrock. The underlying bedrock formations : from the surface to approximately 500 feet : below the site are known as: (1) Bullfork : Formation, (2) Bellevue Tongue of the Grant : Lake Limestone, (3) the Fairview Formation, : and (4) the Kope Formation; all which are com- : posed of interbedded shale and crystalline to : fossiliferous limestone of varyiying perc. : The bedrock is generally characterized according : to the degree of weathering. The uppermost zone : directly below the soil is known as the brown : highly weathered shale and thinly bedded lime- : stone where the shale component has nearly : weathered into a soil, yet still retains : distinct bedding planes. This highly weathered : zone overlies the less weatered olive brown : weathered shale and thinly bedded limestone. : Both the highly weathered and weathered zones : originated from the parent bedrock, the : unweathered gray shale and thinly bedded : limestone bedrock. The tri-state region : (Northern KY, SouthEastern IN, and SouthWestern : OH) is also known for relatively low seismicity : as recorded within historic time. : DOMES number added 2.
