This report presents the results of a Bureau of Reclamation seismotectonic

evaluation for dams in the Wasatch Mountains in north-central Utah. The

major objectives of this study were to identify potential earthquake sources

in the region and to estimate MCEs (maximum credible earthquakes) for these

sources. The conclusions presented in this report are based on geologic

mapping, trenching, study of aerial photography, mapping and correlation of
