Content:
determination is made regarding whether any earthquakes can reasonably be associated with these tectonic structures. The staff should confirm that this determination includes an evaluation of the hypocentral error estimates of the earthquakes. When available, earthquake source mechanisms should be evaluated with respect to fault type (reverse, normal, and strike-slip) and characteristics such as orientation and slip history. The reviewer shall assure that the applicant evaluates the relationship of fault parameters to earthquake magnitude. This type of assessment should provide insights on the potential
