Service Description: This map will assist cities and counties in fulfilling their responsibility to prohibit the location of developments and structures for human occupancy across the trace of active faults as required by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act (Public Resources Code, Division 2, Chapter 7.5, Sections 2621-2630). Local governments can withhold development permits until geologic investigations are conducted for specific sites and mitigation measures are incorporated into development plans. Sellers of property use the maps to check the location of their specific site and, if applicable, disclose to the buyer that the property lies within an earthquake fault zone as required by the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zoning Act (PRC Section 2621.9). For information regarding the scope and recommended methods to be used in conducting the required site investigations, see California Geological Survey Special Publication 42, Fault-Rupture Hazard Zones in California.

Description: This data set contains the Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones as shown on the Official Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones Maps. The dataset is comprised of polygons that form regulatory zone boundaries (Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zones). These features delineate areas where surface fault rupture previously has occurred, or where local topographic, geological, and geotechnical conditions indicate a potential for permanent ground displacements such that mitigation by avoidance as stated in Public Resources Code Section 2621.5 would be required.
