| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; the consultants did not firmly establish three meters as the maximum credible displacement but stated further work would establish three meters as a defensible upper limit for design of the dam regional earthquake hazards the U IL S geological survey open file report 76.89 7689 A study of earthquake losses in the salt lake city utah area postulated the occurrence of earthquakes as large as magnitude 7.5 75 75 on the richter scale on the wasatch fault the report discussed historic evidence of earthquakes in neighboring states while defining the upper limits for the maximum credible earthquake on the wasatch fault other studies list maximum credible earthquakes as high as 8 on the richter scale for the wasatch fault the bureau of reclamation consultants did not state a maximum credible earthquake for the wasatch fault but chose to use the concept of a floating design earthquake instead reservoir induced seismicity the consultants concluded that small earthquakes might be induced by the filling of the reservoir the consultants suggested that consideration be given to this problem when the filling rate of the reservoir is determined conclusion the consultants tended to use the most conservative design approach in reviewing and analyzing the information for the jordanelle Jor danelle dam the bureau of reclamations geologic design data report is to be completed by april 1985 and it will contain additional geologic information unless surprising new information is discovered in the next few months the conclusions of the consultants report appear valid a safe dam can be built at the jordanelle Jor danelle site 76 |
