Content:
Revision 6 – October 2019 RG 4.7 are followed for this area of review or if discussions of Quaternary tectonics, structural geology, stratigraphy, geochronologic methods used for age dating, paleoseismology, and geologic history of the site vicinity, site area, and site location are complete, compare reasonably with studies conducted by others in the same area, and are supported by detailed investigations performed by the applicant. Staff should confirm that site vicinity, site area, and site location-specific geologic maps and cross- sections constructed at scales adequate to clearly illustrate surficial and bedrock geology, structural geology, topography, and relationship of power plant foundations and site boundaries to these features are included in the application. For sites located near bodies of water, the staff should confirm that the application addresses how investigations have been conducted to detect possible surface deformation features that might be located beneath water. 2. Geologic Evidence for Surface Deformation. Requirements of GDC 2 in Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50, 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi) or 10 CFR 52.79(a)(1)(iii), and 10 CFR 100.23(c) and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2) are met if the guidance in RG 1.208, and RG 4.7 are followed for this area of review or if the applicant provides sufficient surface and subsurface information for the site vicinity, area, and location to confirm and characterize presence or absence of surface deformation (e.g., faulting, growth faulting, subsidence or collapse related to dissolution of limestone, salt or gypsum deposits, salt diapirism, anthropogenic effects, or paleoliquefaction) features. The staff should also confirm that the application takes into account the potential for blind faults. 3. Timing of Deformation. Requirements of GDC 2 in Appendix A of 10 CFR Part 50, 10 CFR 52.17(a)(1)(vi) or 10 CFR 52.79(a)(1)(iii), and 10 CFR 100.23(c) and 10 CFR 100.23(d)(2) are met for this area of review if recognized surface
