fvihjj 10 Geoloaie structure or Teetonie Pra.inees. In meeting the requirements 11 of e Reference 1, acceptance of this subsection is based on the 12 development of the relationship between the history of earthquake activity and 13 the geologic structures or tectonic proyiness of a region. 14 The applicant's presentation is accepted when the earthquakes discussed in 15 Subsection 2.5.2.1 of the SAR are shown to be associated with e4ther geelegie 16 structure or tectonic provincc . Whenever an earthquake 17 hypocenter or concentration of earthquake hypocenters can be reasonably 18 correlated with geologic structures, the rationale for the association should <2 19 be developed considering the characteristics of the geologic structure 20 (including geologic and geophysical data, seismicity, and the tectonic 21 history) and the regional tectonic model. The discussion should include 22 identification of the methods used to locate the earthquake hypocenters, an 23 estimate of their accuracy, and a detailed account that compares and 24 contrasts the geologic structure involved in the earthquake activity with 25 other areas within the tectonic province Fi . Particular 26 attention should be given to determining the capabity 27. of faults with which instrumentally located earthquake hypocenters 28 eie e associated. 29 Thc presentation should be augmented by regional map:, all of the same scale, 30 showing the tectonic provinces, the earthquake epicenters, and the location: 31 of geologic structures and mcasuremcnt: used to define provinc:e. Acceptance 32 of the proposed tectonic province is based on the staff's 33 independent review of the geologic and seismic information 34 2.5.2-7 1
