Content:
10 CFR Part 50,10 CFR 52.17, 10 CFR 100.23, and regulatory positions presented in Regulatory Guides 1.165, 1.132, 1.138, 1.198, 1.208, and 4.7, SAR Section 2.5.1.2 will be considered acceptable if it contains a description and evaluation of geologic (including tectonic and non-tectonic) features, geotechnical characteristics, seismic conditions, and conditions caused by human activities at appropriate levels of detail within areas defined by circles drawn around the site using radii of 40 km (25 mi) for site vicinity, 8 km (5mi) for site area, and 1 km (0.6 mi) for site location. This subsection should contain the following information, and geologic maps and cross-sections constructed at scales adequate to clearly illustrate pertinent features in the site vicinity and site area and at the site location should be included in the application. a. Structural geology, including identification and characterization of faults, joints, and other tectonic deformation features; and discussion of the relationships between these features and regional tectonic structures. b. Seismicity, including identification of historical and instrumentally-recorded earthquakes; identification and characterization of any local seismic sources; and discussion of the relationships between local seismicity and regional tectonic structures and seismic sources. c. Geologic and tectonic history, particularly for the Quaternary Period, and its relationships to regional geologic and tectonic history. d. Evidence for paleoseismicity, or a lack of it. e. Stratigraphy and lithology of rock units and relationships to regional stratigraphic and lithologic characteristics. f. Physiography and geomorphology. g. Engineering significance of geologic and geotechnical characteristics of features and materials, including foundation materials, related to: (1) Dynamic behavior during prior earthquakes. (2) Zones of mineralization, alteration, irregular or deep weathering, or structural weakness in surface or
