1993ref. 84862Brunswick OH: The Association of Engineering Geologists 1993. Reprin. Staplebound on left side. Very good/No DJ present. 4 37-78 pages. Illustrations. Tables. Maps. References. This was originally published in the Bulletin of The Association of Engineering Geologists Vol. XXX No. 1 1993. This was the eighteenth Cities of The World paper and examined the geologic setting of a rapidly-growing arid-land city lying in a deep largely inward-draining alluvial basin surrounded by relatively rugged mountains. Las Vegas is a geotechnical and hydrologic realm influenced primarily by water. Its very name in Spanish mends "the meadows". The general scarcity of water today the constant potential for flash-flooding and the troublesome characteristics of foundations soils in the area are serious concerns that must be addressed. Las Vegas has faced the problems of solid waste disposal water treatment rational water use flooding and earthquakes---all of which are related to the unique geologic and geomorphic setting. Among the topics covered include Geological setting Seismicity Foundation Design Construction Material Environmental Water Supply Aquifers Solid Waste Management Wetlands Flooding and Sediment Transport. In June 1957 13 local engineering geologists met in Sacramento CA to discuss the need for organization of a society in the specific field of engineering geology. During the next eight months this group set up the framework of the California Association of Engineering Geologists by formulating the aims of the organization a definition of Engineering Geology and membership qualifications. In February 1958 although the Constitution and Bylaws were yet to be completed membership recruitment was begun. Three Sections Los Angeles Sacramento and San Francisco were established. The Association was incorporated according to the laws of the State of California on May 7 1963. By this action the original Executive Committee of twelve became the Board of Directors and requisite constitutional changes were made accordingly. During the early years following the formation of the Association it became increasingly apparent that a need for a similar organization existed with engineering geologists everywhere not just in California. Evident from the first were the geologists outside the State of California who were concerned with the application of geology to problems of civil engineering who showed a marked interest in the organization. In recognition of this need and interest the membership voted better than 10 to 1 in late 1962 to remove all geographical limitations on the organization and to change the name to Association of Engineering Geologists. Constitutional changes to effect this organization were subsequently completed in early 1963. In 1963 the first Section outside of California Washington State was established. Seventeen Sections including two outside the United States were recognized by 1973. On the occasion of the Association's twenty-fifth year twenty-two Sections formed the regional units of the Association. In 1964 AEG was accepted as a member society of the American Geological Institute. On September 22 2005 the name change to the Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists became official. The Association has been serving members of both the environmental and engineering geology for a number of years and the name change serves to provide formal recognition of this support.
