snippet:	This dataset was compiled as part of the Data Preservation Program of the Washington Geological Survey, the aim of which is to organize and preserve geologic data in a digital format and to make it easier for the public to obtain. The creation of this dataset was prompted by the need for up-to-date and spatially accurate reporting of known or suspected faults of Quaternary age in WA State.

The Washington State Department of Natural Resources and the authors of this product will not be liable to the user of this product for any activity involving the product with respect to the following: (a) lost profits, lost savings, or any other consequential damages; (b) the fitness of the product for a particular purpose; or (c) use of the product or results obtained from use of the product. Although these data have been processed successfully on computers of WGS, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made by WGS regarding the use of these data on any other system, nor does the fact of distribution constitute or imply any such warranty. This dataset cannot be used to determine the presence or absence of faults beneath any specific locality, and was not intended for use at scales larger than 1:250,000. Such a determination requires a site-specific geotechnical investigation performed by a qualified practitioner. Care should be used with this dataset to ensure full understanding of the scope of past work and breadth of interpretation of the fault of interest.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
