Content:
eral extraction, jointing and faulting, solution effects, and seismicity at the site as they might effect, or be effected by, conditions resulting from human activities. The reviewer confirms that the application includes information on potential for changes in groundwater conditions caused by withdrawal or injection of fluids; subsidence or collapse caused by withdrawal of fluids; issues related to mineral extraction; and induced seismicity and fault movement caused by reservoir impoundment and fluid injection or withdrawal. The reviewer confirms that information provided by the applicant is documented through appropriate references to relevant published and unpublished materials. Illustrative materials to document site characteristics should include, but are not necessarily limited to, structural, tectonic, physiographic, topographic, geologic, gravity, and magnetic maps; geologic cross-sections showing soil horizons, stratigraphy, lithology, and structure; geologic maps of trenches and test pits; seismic reflection or refraction and other geophysical survey profiles; soil and core boring logs; geophysical borehole logs; aerial photographs; and remote sensing imagery and Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). Some sites might require maps illustrating areas of subsidence, karst 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. Locations of all proposed facility structures, Seismic Category I facilities, and site boundaries, should be included on data maps. Subsurface data locations, such as borings, trenches, test pits, seismic and geophysical data collection profiles, and geologic cross-sections, should be included on plot plans. The geologic terminology used should conform to that found in standard references. Considering information derived from the application, other published and unpublished scientific
