Utah FORGE: 2023 Induced Seismicity Mitigation Plan

Description

This is the updated Utah FORGE Phase 3B induced seismicity mitigation plan (ISMP) covering the general Utah FORGE area. This new version incorporates newly collected seismic data, including data collected during the 2022 stimulation and a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA). The report includes descriptions of seismic hazards, seismic risks, plans for seismic monitoring and mitigation, and plans for communicating with stakeholders and the public.

33 This document provides an overview of the updated induced seismicity mitigation plan. The primary ISMP steps include: conducting a preliminary screening evaluation, implementing an outreach and communication program, establishing ground vibration and noise criteria, collecting seismicity data, assessing hazards from both natural and induced seismic events, evaluating risk from induced seismic events, and developing a risk-based mitigation plan https://gdr.openei.org/files/1524/Induced%20Seismicity%20Mitigation%20Plan_202306%20final%20reduced%20size.pdf
