Content:
formation for the site vicinity, area, and location to confirm presence or absence of surface deformation features. This includes the reviewer conducting a literature search and comparing that body of knowledge with the applicant's data, to ensure that all evidence of surface deformation (e.g., growth faulting, subsidence or collapse related to dissolution of limestone, salt or gypsum deposits, salt diapirism, anthropogenic effects) identified in the literature has been considered by the applicant. If evidence of surface deformation is found, the reviewer should confirm that the applicant performed additional field investigations (e.g., geologic mapping, surface and borehole geophysical investigations, borings, or trenching) to adequately characterize the deformation features. The staff should confirm that the application includes a distinction tectonically-induced surface deformation and non-tectonic surface deformation resulting from growth faulting or collapse due to limestone or salt dissolution, salt diapirism, or as a result of anthropogenic effects. In addition to geologic evidence that might indicate deformation, the reviewer should examine documented topographic and geomorphic evidence (e.g., linear features interpreted from topographic maps, low and high altitude aerial photographs, satellite imagery, LiDAR). Staff should confirm that data to assess presence of surface deformation is obtained by the applicant from surface methods such as: imagery analysis, geologic reconnaissance and mapping and subsurface methods such as geophysical surveys at ground surface as well as in
