Draft Revision 5 – August 2013 and collapse due to dissolution of limestone, salt or gypsum deposits, or salt diapirism) deformation. 3. Timing of Deformation. If deformation features are present in the site vicinity, area, or location, the reviewer evaluates the information used to constrain the age of the most recent deformation event, and, if applicable, the ages of preceding events. The reviewer determines whether the timing of deformation has been acceptably demonstrated, or estimated, by the applicant’s information. Further, the reviewer assesses the sensitivity and resolution of the investigative methods applied by the applicant for acquiring the information. 4. Correlation of Earthquakes with Tectonic Features. The reviewer evaluates information on all historically-reported earthquakes within the site vicinity in regard to hypocenter location accuracy and origin of source. The reviewer evaluates the proposed correlations between earthquake hypocenter locations and tectonic features in the site vicinity, to determine if these features have evidence of historical activity. 5. Relationship of Geologic features in the Site Vicinity to Regional Geologic Features. The reviewer examines information presented by an applicant on relationships between faults or other deformation features in the site vicinity to the regional framework to determine that interrelationships are adequately described in regard to potential for inducing future surface deformation at the site. 6. Potential for Surface Deformation at the Site. The reviewer evaluates the assessment provided by the applicant for potential future surface deformation at the site. The reviewer determines that sufficient geological, seismological, and geophysical information has been provided to clearly establish whether there is a potential for future surface deformation at the site. If the potential for future surface deformation exists, the reviewer evaluates the information in the application that
