Utah FORGE: Induced Seismicity Mitigation Plan

Description

This is the current induced seismicity mitigation plan (ISMP) for the Utah FORGE project. Information that was collected during Phases 1 and 2 of the Utah FORGE project has been incorporated, as have literature searches and risk assessments. The purpose of this report is to identify and mitigate induced seismicity for the Utah FORGE Project. Mitigation includes preliminary screening, outreach, criteria for ground vibration and noise, data collection practices, and natural seismic hazard analysis. From this, the overall risk from the project was determined. This report is subject to change as new information comes to light.

33 This document is the current induced seismicity mitigation plan (ISMP) for the Utah FORGE project. The report includes descriptions of seismic hazard, seismic risk, plans for seismic monitoring and mitigation, and plans for communicating with stakeholders and the public for Utah FORGE. https://gdr.openei.org/files/1319/Induced%20Seismicity%20Mitigation%20Plan%20Revision%2006012021%20Final.pdf
33 This report presents an update of the probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) conducted by Amec Foster Wheeler (2018) to obtain the mean annual frequency that specified levels of ground motion will be exceeded at four locations in the vicinity of the proposed FORGE (Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy) site. The target sites are the FORGE drilling center, the town of Milford, UT, a central location in the adjacent windmills, and the Blundell geothermal plant. https://gdr.openei.org/files/1319/Attachment%201%20ISMP%202020.pdf
