The Theater Complex will be located in the southwest portion of the campus, as shown on the Site Location Map, Figure 1A. Several small one-story structures (Buildings 22, 22A and 22B) currently occupy this portion of the campus, as shown in Figure 1B. The general layout of the proposed Theater Complex is shown in Figure 2A. Geologic cross sections of the proposed structure are provided in Figures 2B and 2C. The approximate locations of the additional subsurface explorations completed for this investigation are shown on Exploration Plans, Figures 3A and 3B. The purpose of our investigation was to characterize the general geotechnical constraints to site development, and provide geotechnical recommendations for grading and the design of the proposed structures, pavements, underground utilities, retaining walls and associated surface improvements. The recommendations provided herein are based on our review of previous geotechnical studies at the site, our recent subsurface exploration, laboratory tests, engineering and geologic analyses, and our previous experience with similar geologic condition. 1.1 Scope of Services This report was prepared

  • Comprehensive Analysis of Earthquake Source Spectra and Swarms in the Salton Trough, California X
    JOURNAL OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 116, B09309, doi:10.1029/2011JB008263, 2011 Comprehensive analysis of earthquake source spectra and swarms in the Salton Trough, California X. Chen1 and P. M. Shearer1 Received 26 January 2011; revised 20 May 2011; accepted 30 June 2011; published 23 September 2011. [1] We study earthquakes within California’s Salton Trough from 1981 to 2009 from a precisely relocated catalog. We process the seismic waveforms to isolate source spectra, station spectra and travel‐time dependent spectra. The results suggest an average P wave Q of 340, agreeing with previous results indicating relatively high attenuation in the Salton Trough. Stress drops estimated from the source spectra using an empirical Green’s function (EGF) method reveal large scatter among individual events but a low median stress drop of 0.56 MPa for the region. The distribution of stress drop after applying a spatial‐median filter indicates lower stress drops near geothermal sites. We explore the relationships between seismicity, stress drops and geothermal injection activities. Seismicity within the Salton Trough shows strong spatial clustering, with 20 distinct earthquake swarms with at least 50 events. They can be separated into early‐Mmax and late‐Mmax groups based on the normalized occurrence time of their largest event. These swarms generally have a low skew value of moment release history, ranging from −9 to 3.0. The major temporal difference between the two groups is the excess of seismicity and an inverse power law increase of seismicity before the largest event for the late‐Mmax group. All swarms exhibit spatial migration of seismicity at a statistical significance greater than 85%.

The views and conclusions contained in this document are those of the authors, and should not be interpreted as necessarily representing the official policies, either expressed or implied, of the U.S. Government. 1 Mapping the 3D Geometry of Active Faults in Southern California Abstract Accurate assessment of the seismic hazard in southern California requires an accurate and complete description of the active faults in three dimensions. Dynamic rupture behavior, realistic rupture scenarios, fault segmentation, and the accurate prediction of fault interactions and strong ground motion all strongly depend on the location, sense of slip, and 3D geometry of these active fault surfaces. Comprehensive and improved catalogs of relocated earthquakes for southern California are now available for detailed analysis. These catalogs comprise over 500,000 revised earthquake hypocenters, and nearly 200,000 well-determined earthquake focal mechanisms since 1981. These extensive catalogs need to be carefully examined and analyzed, not only for the accuracy and resolution of the earthquake hypocenters, but also for kinematic consistency of the spatial pattern of fault slip and the orientation of 3D fault surfaces at seismogenic depths.

    4.6 Geology and Soils 4.6 GEOLOGY AND SOILS This section provides an evaluation of the projects in relation to existing geologic and soils conditions within the project area. Information contained in this section is summarized from publications made available by the California Geological Survey (CGS) and site-specific geotechnical studies prepared by Landmark Consultants, Inc. (LCI), including a Preliminary Geotechnical and Geohazards Report for Ferrell Solar Farm (FSF) (LCI 2013a), a Preliminary Geotechnical and Geohazards Report for Rockwood Solar Farm (RSF)(LCI 2013b), a Preliminary Geotechnical and Geohazards Report for Iris Solar Farm (ISF) (LCI 2013c), and a Preliminary Geotechnical and Geohazards Report for Lyons Solar Farm (LSF)(LCI 2013d). The preliminary reports prepared by LCI are included in Appendix G of this Environmental Impact Report (EIR). 4.6.1 Environmental Setting The project sites are located in the Colorado Desert Physiographic province of southern California. The dominant feature of the Colorado Desert province is the Salton Trough, a geologic structural depression resulting from large-scale regional faulting. The trough is bounded on the northeast by the San Andreas Fault and Chocolate Mountains and the southwest by the Peninsular Range and faults of the San Jacinto Fault Zone. The Salton Trough represents the northward extension of the Gulf of California, containing both marine and non-marine sediments since the Miocene Epoch. Tectonic activity that formed the trough continues at a high rate as evidenced by deformed young sedimentary deposits and high levels of seismicity (LCI 2013a-d). Figure 4.6-1 illustrates the location of the project area in relation to regional faults and physiographic features.

  • Preliminary Report on Seismological and Geotechnical Engineering Aspects of the April 4 2010 Mw
    1.0 Introduction 1.1 Introduction The M7.2 mainshock of the Sierra El Mayor ­ Cucapah earthquake occurred at 3:40 pm local time on April 4, 2010, which was Easter Sunday. The mainshock was followed by a sequence of aftershocks that were felt during the reconnaissance effort and continue to the present. The mainshock had an estimated focal depth of 10 km (USGS, 2010) and struck in the El Mayor and Cucapah mountains to the southwest of Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. The epicenter was located at 32.237°N, 115.083°W (USGS, 2010). The earthquake was felt throughout northern Baja California and southern California, and caused damage in a region from the Sea of Cortez in the south to the Salton Sea in the north. This earthquake is the largest to strike this area since 1892. The USGS seismic intensity was IX near the fault rupture, and VIII in Mexicali, which is the nearest densely­ populated area. The largest peak ground acceleration of 0.58g was recorded at McCabe School about 5 km southwest of El Centro, CA. The earthquake ruptured the surface for as much as 140 km from the northern tip of the Sea of Cortez northwestward to nearly the international border, with strike­slip, normal, and oblique displacements observed. The earthquake resulted in two fatalities and hundreds of injuries. Damage occurred to irrigation systems, water treatment facilities, buildings, bridges, earth dams, and roadways. Liquefaction and ground subsidence was widespread in the Mexicali Valley, and left wheat and hay fields submerged under water and destroyed many canals that irrigate fields in the predominantly agricultural region.

  • 2.4 Geology and Soils This Section Discusses the Existing Geology and Soils in Imperial County
    Imperial County COSE Environmental Inventory Report RESOURCE INVENTORY 2.4 Geology and Soils This section discusses the existing geology and soils in Imperial County. The regulatory environment and existing conditions have been assessed and analyzed to determine associated constraints and opportunities for updating the COSE for the County. 2.4.1 Terminology The following is a summary of geology and soils terminology discussed in this section. Corrosive Soils – Soil corrosion is a complex phenomenon. Chemical reactions between existing elements take place in soils, many of which are not fully understood. The relative importance of variables changes for different materials, making a universal guide to corrosion impossible. Expansive Soils – Composed of a significant amount of clay particles, which can expand (absorb water) or contract (release water). These shrink and swell characteristics can result in structural stress and place other loads on these soils. Expansive soils are often associated with geological units having marginal stability and can occur in low-lying alluvial basins and along hillsides. Facies – A distinctive rock feature with specific characteristics that form under certain conditions of sedimentation. Fault Rupture – The California Geological Survey places active faults with surface expression in a zone referred to as an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. Earthquake Fault Zones are regulatory zones around active faults. These zones are defined by turning points connected by straight lines. The delineation of the Earthquake Fault Zones is intended to prohibit construction of new habitable structures near or on active faults in California for the purpose of protecting human health and safety. Ground Lurching – Typically results where loose to poorly consolidated soil deposits on or adjacent to steep slopes move laterally as the result of strong ground shaking during a seismic event.
