Content:
Revision 6 – October 2019 karst or other dissolution features, mechanically weak zones of soil and rock, paleoliquefaction features, irregular weathering conditions and weathering depths, landslide potential, locations of oil and gas wells, faults, and joints. The reviewer should confirm that maps include superimposed plot plans of site facilities, site boundaries, and the relationship of all Seismic Category I facilities to subsurface geologic features. In addition, the reviewer should identify locations of all site structures, borings, trenches, test pits, seismic reflection and refraction and other geophysical data collection profiles, and geologic cross-sections on plot plans. The reviewer should confirm that geologic terminology used in the application conforms to that found in standard references. Applying information derived from the application, other published and unpublished scientific literature, and the reviewer’s technical knowledge and professional judgment, the reviewer assesses the adequacy of geologic, seismic, geophysical, and geotechnical information cited in support of the applicant's conclusions concerning suitability of the proposed site. Depending on completeness of the application, staff also might need to conduct a literature review at an appropriate level of detail. However, the application and its supporting information should enable staff to logically progress from data and assumptions to conclusions drawn without the need for an extensive independent literature review. Staff should evaluate whether an applicant provided all pertinent data, including information that may support alternative interpretations to data or conclusions formed by the applicant. Review Interfaces Other SRP sections interface with this section as follows: 1. SRP Section 2.0, “Site Characteristics and Site Parameters.” For COL applications referencing a DC rule, review of the site parameters in the design control document (DCD) Tier 1 and Chapter 2 of the
