Quaternary fault and fold database and map of Utah, by Bill D. Black, Suzanne Hecker, Michael D. Hylland, Gary E. Christenson, and Greg N. McDonald, CD-ROM, scale 1:500,000, ISBN 1-55791-593-8, 2/03, Map 193DM $24.95; paper copy of only plotted map $10.00.
Represents the most up-to-date and comprehensive information on the 212 known active faults and related geologic structures in Utah. The statewide map categorizes faults based on their most recent movement and their slip rate (measure of fault activity) and shows where detailed geologic fault studies have been undertaken. The database contains information useful in preliminary evaluations of fault hazards in Utah. It also reflects how little is known about many of the active faults in the state. Detailed studies have largely focused on Utah's most active fault, the Wasatch fault, and other faults in or near the densely populated Wasatch Front. With few exceptions, active faults elsewhere in the state have received little to no detailed study.

Geologic hazards of Moab-Spanish Valley, Grand County, Utah, by Michael D. Hylland and William E. Mulvey, digital compilation by Justin P. Johnson and Matt Butler, 25 p. + 1 CD, ISBN 1-55791-697-7, 2003, SS-107 $12.95
Moab Valley and the contiguous Spanish Valley comprise a popular residential and recreational area in east-central Utah. Geologic processes that created the rugged and scenic landscape of Moab-Spanish Valley are still active today and can be hazardous to property and life. The Utah Geological Survey conducted a geologic-hazards investigation to provide information to Moab City and Grand County to help guide development and reduce losses from geologic hazards.
The 4 maps can be used as general information to show what hazards may occur and where; homeowners and residents can assess the hazards and take whatever action they deem appropriate. The maps may be used in real-estate disclosure, also, local governments may use the maps to show where site-specific hazard studies are needed prior to development. Hazard studies are most effective when conducted prior to construction to define hazards and guide appropriate design of structures and landscapes.
The maps depicting life-threatening hazards may be used for emergency-response planning, or more comprehensive land-use planning to enhance safety and reduce damages. All of the maps may be adopted in local ordinances to show areas where site-specific investigations addressing the particular hazard are required prior to development.

Water-quality assessment and mapping for the principal valley-fill aquifer in Sanpete Valley, Sanpete County, Utah, by Mike Lowe, Janae Wallace, and Charles E. Bishop, 91 p., 13 pl., 1:100.000, 12/02, CD-ROM, SS-102 $19.95
Sanpete Valley is located in central Utah; the unconsolidated valley-fill aquifer is the principal source of drinking water. In cooperation with the Utah Division of Water Quality and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, we assessed water quality in the valley-fill aquifer to: (1) classify ground-water quality according to Utah Water Quality Board standards, (2) determine the relationship of ground-water quality to geologic units in the San Pitch River drainage basin, (3) determine likely sources of nitrate pollution documented in previous investigations, and (4) assess the potential for downgradient degradation of water quality from high-nitrate wells.

The maps are described in detail in the report and show total-dissolved-solids, nitrate, iron, sulfate, and chloride concentrations, and recommended septic tank soil-absorption-system densities.

Interim map showing shear-wave-velocity characteristics of engineering geologic units in the Salt Lake City, Utah metropolitan area, by Francis X. Ashland and Greg N. McDonald, CD-ROM (43 p., 1 pl., 1:75,000), 12/03, OFR-424 $19.95
Empirical correlation between earthquake ground-motion amplification and the average shear-wave velocity in the upper 30 meters below the ground surface (Vs30) provides the basis of the site classes in the International Building Code. This knowledge allows engineers to estimate site-class effects. This report notes Vs30 for previously mapped engineering geologic units in the Salt Lake City metropolitan area. Maps show the mean and range in Vs30 for three Quaternary units, discuss the distribution of and variation in Vs30, and include characteristic shear-wave-velocity profiles. For two other Quaternary and three bedrock units lacking shear-wave-velocity profiles, Vs30 estimates and a discussion of the methods used to characterize Vs30 are provided.
