Content:
if sufficient surface and subsurface information is provided and supported by detailed investigations, either to confirm the absence of surface tectonic deformation (i.e., faulting) or, if present, to demonstrate the age of its most recent displacement and ages of previous displacements. If tectonic deformation is present in the site vicinity, it must be defined as to geometry, amount and sense of displacement, recurrence rate, and age of latest movement. In addition to geological evidence that may indicate faulting, linear features interpreted from topographic maps, low and high altitude aerial photographs, satellite imagery, and other imagery should be documented and investigated. In order to expedite the review process, an
