Final Great Salt Lake Comprehensive Management Plan
2.9.7.11 GEOLOGIC-HAZARD INFORMATION The UGS Geologic Hazards Program has developed a website for consultants and design professionals containing recommended guidelines; published UGS geologic hazard maps, reports, site-specific studies, geologic maps, and hydrogeology publications; historical aerial photography; important external publications in the literature; and links to external websites (UGS 2011a). Although this website should be used during geologic-hazard investigations as a source of current, published information on Utah’s geologic hazards, it is not a complete source for all geologic-hazard information. As a result, a thorough literature search and review should be performed. UGS Circular 106 contains geologic-hazard maps for a portion of the east shore of GSL (UGS 2011a). These maps include surface-fault-rupture, liquefaction, landslide and debris-flow hazards, and indicate special study zones where specialized geologic hazard investigations are necessary. Geologic hazard maps of much of the remainder of GSL have not been produced, and detailed, site-specific geotechnical/geologic hazard investigations will be necessary.
