  • 1 Construction and Verification of A
    1 Construction and Verification of a Wasatch Front Community Velocity Model: Collaborative Research with San Diego State University and the University of Utah Final Technical Report Harold Magistrale Jim Pechmann Kim Olsen San Diego State University University of Utah Award numbers 05HQGR0006 and 05HQGR0011 06HQGR0009 and 06HQGR0012 2 Introduction. A fundamental problem in assessing seismic hazard from an active fault zone is determining the distribution, amplitude, frequency characteristics, and duration of strong ground motion from potential future earthquakes. This task becomes more difficult when accounting for the influence of 3D geologic structures, such as sediment-filled basins. The population of Utah is concentrated in such basins at the foot of the Wasatch Front, with 40% of the population residing in the Salt Lake basin. The Wasatch Front is formed by the active, normal Wasatch fault, the most prominent potential source of future large earthquakes in the area. Evaluation of the seismic hazard requires numerical ground motion simulations to quantify the contribution of deep basin structure and shallow site conditions to ground motions. A key requirement to perform these simulations is the availabilty of a 3D Wasatch Front community seismic velocity model (CVM). With NEHRP support we have developed an initial version of the community velocity model. The CVM has been developed in consultation with the Utah Ground-Shaking Working Group (UGSWG), a NEHRP-supported effort spearheaded by the Utah Geological Survey (UGS). CVM Construction Method. In creating the Wasatch Front CVM, we followed the method that Magistrale et al. (2000) used to construct the SCEC southern California CVM. Both models consist of detailed, rule-based representations of the major populated sediment-filled basins, embedded in a 3D crust, over a variable depth Moho, over upper mantle velocities.

Kirby, Stuart Simmons, Paul C. Inkenbrandt, and Stan Smith ABSTRACT The FORGE deep drill site is located approximately 10 miles northeast of Milford in Beaver County, Utah, on the eastern side of Milford Valley. Shallow groundwater in the study area resides in an unconsolidated basin-fill aquifer that blankets older rock units including the crystalline basement rocks that will host the FORGE EGS reservoir. The unconsolidated basin-fill aquifer supplies groundwater that is currently used for stock watering and fire suppression.

The Hurricane fault is a long, west-dipping normal fault with substantial late Cenozoic displacement within the structural and seismic transition between the Colorado Plateau and the Basin and Range province. Previous reconnaissance studies of the fault in northern Arizona and southern Utah had documented evidence of late Quaternary activity.
