Specifications include, but are not limited to: The study areas for new surficial geologic mapping are shown on Figure 1. The area to be mapped is ~75 square miles and includes parts of the towns of Barnet, Ryegate and Newbury. The goal is to produce surficial geologic maps of the quadrangles with a cross-section and collect data which can be used to produce groundwater resources maps and hazard maps at a scale of 1:24,000. All mapping will use a Lidar basemap and will be produced in ArcGIS and exported as PDFs. Data will include lithologic contacts of surficial materials, bedrock outcrop locations, glacial features, detailed descriptions of map units and a report with a discussion of the glacial history of the quadrangles. Data files will be delivered as shapefiles using the format of the State of Vermont and will use standard map unit nomenclature supplied by the State.
