<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>
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.

The dataset was frequently checked for duplication, completeness, accuracy, proper formatting, and consistency following multiple stages of completion, by visually checking data tables in feature classes. Consistent practices were used to generate fault traces from source materials.
Every possible effort was made to account for all known or suspected Quaternary-aged faults in the state.
Cross-checks of index maps contained within the source publications for this dataset were performed as the attribute spreadsheet was generated to ensure location and attribute accuracy between the faults and their respective attribute data. Arcs were spot-checked within the visual display in ArcMap and checked against attribute data in the spreadsheet.
The accuracy of location of faults within this dataset is largely dependent upon the sources of the data. The accuracy of faults generated by digitizing the extent of individually scanned and georeferenced maps is variable, as differing numbers of control points were available with which to georeference each source map.
This dataset contains no vertical location information.
The fault dataset was generated by performing a detailed study of existing literature, georeferencing source maps, digitizing or downloading selected fault locations, and then generating attributes for traces, such as fault name, fault visibility, age of last known deformation, method of detection (lidar, mapping, or geophysical method), and the source used for the fault trace as well as the corresponding ID number of the fault in the USGS Quaternary fault and fold database. Faults were generated using the largest scale possible, with a 1:250,000 minimum, although a great majority of the source maps were at a scale of 1:100,000 or better. Many fault zones in this dataset contain information from multiple sources. When multiple sources of fault information provided lines representing the same fault trace (not always coincident), consideration was given to the original source map for all publications, as well as potential updates to those maps in subsequent geologic investigations. The source for only the trace of each fault is provided. It is important to note that for many faults, the sources for detailed paleoseismic studies that provide evidence of Quaternary deformation for each fault are not provided. For a more comprehensive list of sources of detailed information about Quaternary faults, refer to the U.S. Geological Survey's Quaternary fault and fold database (http://earthquake.usgs.gov/hazards/qfaults/). Version History Version 3.0 (June, 2011): This dataset was edited for location and attribute. Attribute names were added and/or changed, and metadata for the entire dataset was updated. Version 2.0 (June, 2010): This dataset was migrated from a shapefile to a geodatabase. Feature class names and attribute names were changed, and metadata for the entire dataset was updated. Version 1.0 (2008) Original data in shapefile format.
