To identify and disclose areas that are in County jurisdiction within 200 feet of a Seismic Hazard Area, per the Snohomish County Code listed below.
This dataset was compiled as part of the Data Preservation Program of the Washington Division of Geology and Earth Resources, 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. |

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>NOTICE: Seismic Hazard Area, Within 200 ft. of an Active Fault (SCC 30.62B.350)</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>These data contain arcs representing the location of faults with known or suspected Quaternary (<1,600,000 yrs) activity in the state of Washington. Data were gathered from numerous sources, including the Washington State portion of the U.S Geological Survey's 2010 "Quaternary fault and fold database of the United States". Faults were attributed with information such as age, visibility, method of detection, and in most cases, the corresponding ID number for the fault from the USGS database (for easy correlation between the two data sources). This dataset contains multiple interpretations of the same faults or fault systems by different authors, which may be only partially co-located. Differing interpretations are the result of different methods used to detect the faults and the scale of the investigation.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |

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> |
