DRAFT [EARTHQUAKE] FAULT HAZARD EVALUATION REPORT Dungeness Off-Channel Reservoir

We recommend locating the reservoir to the south of the interpreted fault zone, similar to reservoir location Option D, to reduce hazard and avoid hazard by avoiding the deformation hazard zones.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Sequim fault, which intersects the project site, was previously mapped at the ground surface but details of the fault were not previously described.

We recommend locating the reservoir to the south of the interpreted fault zone, similar to reservoir location Option D, to reduce hazard and avoid hazard by avoiding the deformation hazard zones. Locating the reservoir south of the interpreted fault zone would also reduce the fieldwork necessary to further assess the hazard.
