I have labeled then I, 2, & 3 on the map and discussed them below. 1) A large, active quarry operation that has recently expanded to the North of Portland Point Rd. The Quarry contains unique exposures of igneous dikes and, most importantly, a thrust or reverse fault. There is some chance that quarrying will destroy these features. The current owners have been quite good about allowing pre -arranged groups access to the site. This is not the kind of site that would allow much access to casual tourists or hikers. A geologically important site. 2) This is a much smaller site (300 ft. X 100 ft.) on Portland Pt. Rd. that is very rich in Devonian fossils. The site is not very important Geologically, but is very important Paleontologically. The site is frequently visited by fossil clubs from all along the East Coast as well as local school groups & geology classes from Cornell & other universities. This site is owned by Cargill (as is site 3) and is used by them as a small quarry for shale for roads. It should be given some sort of protection --the current quarrying helps to expose new fossils, but will in time exhaust the site. This is my personal favorite place to collect fossils & bring student groups. 3) An old quarry along the creek. Contains some fossils and evidence of old quarry operations. Has historical connections to the central NYS early plaster industry & latter current plant operations. k j ro e.

It is northeast of the Lehigh Valley right of way. Cover Type upland forest, rock outcrops Site Description This area is largely forested. Small streams dissect the site.

(Communities, Significant/Unusual Features, Species, Age, Structure, etc.) The vegetation along these slopes is highly variable. In some areas the forest stands are undisturbed oak forest with large trees. In other places the site has been farmed to the cliff edge and then the land abandoned. There one finds a band of large old trees with larger areas of old field forest. In areas where forest cutting has been heavy oak -hickory forests are found.

The disturbance created by mowing or cutting along the road edge has reduced ninebark, Physocarpus opillifolius, and grey dogwood, Cornus racemosa, are the dominant shrubs. Black maple, Acer nigrum, , is found here.

Mowing and cutting of shrubs along the road side ahs destroyed some plants. Cars parking along the road have run over them. Adjacent Land Use Residential, agricultural Threats to Site Herbicide use or excess salting, general road maintenance threaten this site. Vulnerability of Site to Visitors Very vulnerable. The wet gravel on the steep slope is highly erodible. But the scarce plants can be seen from the road side. Special Conservation/Management Needs The town or county, whichever is responsible for road maintenance along Salmon Creek Road, should be advised of the sensitivity of the site.

The site was discovered following the flood of July 1935,and was worked for 2 summers in hopes of finding diamonds. This is a geologically important site. As mineral content of diatreme area very closely resembles that of South African diamond -bearing soils, there was an atempt to mine diamonds in the 1930's. No luck, however, some uncommon minerals were found. Some mining equipment still remains at site. 0 371 _(LUDLOWV(LLE) 372 373 32'30 374 ilk K Duboik rner < \ll„ '\,� • a' Yacht Club \ ��,,�� .\ .(n • - - —� 1. ;1;\1,�` ,, r ,\ ,;,\ y—oLight }LOAD CPO \ Glenwood Pt 4 11 h0, t l •1,� �� �� .` \ ` . ✓ / i. k_ � Op o, \ Theat6 ° ° ( o C. o s 'aOc�rner II 194 's ° ROAD Ne \ m h!
