Mid-Atlantic Power Pathway Environmental Review Document Chalk Point Substation to Indian River Substation Volume II – Environmental Analysis of April 13, 2011 Chalk Point Substation to MD/DE State Line Table 1.1-2 Mineral Resource Extraction Sites near the Project Area Facility Type County, State 1-7 Distance from Project (miles) Operational Status Sand and gravel mine Calvert, Maryland 0.03 Active Sand and gravel mine Calvert. Maryland 0.70 Active Sand and gravel mine Calvert, Maryland 0.70 Active Sand and gravel mine Wicomico, Maryland 0.80 Active Source: MDE 2006b, MDE 2006c, MDE 2006d 1.1.1.2 Paleontological Resources Paleontological resources are the fossilized remains of prehistoric plants and animals, as well as the impressions left in rock or other materials of the forms and activities of such organisms. Sediments deposited in post-Pleistocene time (less than 10,000 years ago) are generally unlikely to contain fossils of paleontological interest and are considered non-sensitive areas. Older sediments and rock units vary considerably in fossil content with the probability of fossil presence and discovery defined by the geographic distribution and exposure of specific sedimentary units that have been uplifted, distorted, altered, and exposed during the course of geological history. There are no known sensitive paleontological resource areas within the Project area. However, geologic formations similar to those being crossed by the Project are known to contain terrestrial and marine fossils. Vertebrate fossils are relatively rare and locations containing these fossils are more likely to be scientifically significant than those containing invertebrate or plant fossils. In areas where bedrock is exposed, fossils may be visible and/or accessible, especially in sedimentary rocks from the Cretaceous period. At least 12 species of dinosaurs are known to have occurred in Maryland, and their fossils are found in rocks of the Cretaceous period; however, these formations would not be crossed by the Project (MGS 2007a). Early Quaternary deposits, which would be crossed in eastern Prince George’s County, Maryland, have yielded fossils of mastodon teeth, clams, oysters, and snails (Paleontology Portal 2008a). Tertiary deposits, such as those which comprise most of the area that would be crossed by the Project in Calvert County are known to contain a high diversity (i.e., greater than 600 species) of invertebrates (Paleontology Portal 2008b). Vertebrate fossils are also common in formations from this period and include marine mammals, sharks, rays, sea birds, turtles, tortoises, and crocodiles (Paleontology Portal 2008b). The western shore of the Chesapeake Bay at Calvert Cliffs State Park is a well-known fossilbearing site with exposed Miocene marine sediments (MGS 2007b, Wallace no date). Over 600 species have been identified including mollusks, whales and other marine mammals, sharks and rays, birds, marine turtles, tortoises, crocodiles, tapirs, mastodons, rhinoceros, horses and dogs (MGS 2007b). This site is located approximately seven miles southeast relative to the nearest portion of the Project. Early Quaternary deposits, which would be crossed in Wicomico County, have yielded fossils of mastodon teeth, clams, oysters, and snails (Paleontology Portal 2008a).
