istic procedures. 1 Additional supporting information of prior DC rules may be found in DCD Tier 2 Section 14.3. 2.5.4-3 Revision 3 - March 2007 9. The earthquake design bases (Subsection 2.5.4.9) are evaluated in detail in Section 2.5.2 of the SAR. These are summarized and cross-referenced in this subsection. 10. The results of investigations and analyses conducted to determine foundation material stability, deformation and settlement under static conditions (Subsection 2.5.4.10). 11. Criteria, references, and design methods (Subsection 2.5.4.11) used in static and seismic analyses of foundation materials, including an explanation of computer programs used in the analyses and soil loads on subsurface facilities. 12. Techniques and specifications to improve subsurface conditions (Subsection 2.5.4.12), which are to be used at the site to provide suitable foundation conditions. Additional information on foundations is covered in SRP Section 3.8.5 and should be cross-referenced to this section. 13. Additional information will be presented dependent on the type of application. For a COL application, the additional information is dependent on whether the application references an ESP, a DC, both or neither. Information requirements are prescribed within the “Contents of Application” sections of the applicable Subparts to 10 CFR Part 52. Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. The reviewer provides findings on the geotechnical parameters and methods employed in the analysis of soil and foundation response to the ground motion environment to the reviewers of the appropriate subsections within SRP Chapter 3, as necessary, to ensure that the soil loads and structural deflections, including any reduction in support capability of subsurface materials, can safely be accommodated by structural components. 2. The reviewers of SRP Chapter 17.1 will coordinate the review of geotechnical engineering aspects of the quality assurance program
