Download or read book Geologic Hazards of Moab Spanish Valley Grand County Utah written by Michael D. Hylland and published by Utah Geological Survey. This book was released on 2003 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. To address development in areas with geologic hazards, the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) conducted a geologic-hazards investigation to provide information to Moab City and Grand County to help guide development and reduce losses from geologic hazards. This report includes maps of Moab Valley and the northern and central parts of Spanish Valley that provide information on geologic hazards to assist homeowners, planners, and developers in making informed decisions. The maps show areas where hazards may exist and where site-specific studies are advisable prior to development. The maps are for planning purposes only, and do not preclude the necessity for site investigations. Site-specific studies by qualified professionals (engineering geologists, geotechnical engineers, hydrologists) should evaluate hazards and, if necessary, recommend hazard-reduction measures. Because of the small scale of the maps, some hazard areas are not shown; hazard studies are therefore recommended for all critical facilities (for example, hospitals, schools, fire stations), including those outside the mapped hazard areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last two decades Utah's Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG) region has seen rapid growth and development. Maintenance of public health, welfare, and safety has become a priority for local and county governments. The purpose of this study was to develop criteria for and locate landscape features that could affect human health or valuable structures. The model created seeks to maximize human health by giving planners information on which areas may harm water quality and quantity, may cause structural damage, and may pose a threat to safety. The landscape features included in the model are: avalanche and steep slopes, earthquake fault lines, mudslide areas, shallow groundwater, high shrink and swell soils, flood plains, and areas with high wildfire danger. The MAG region is an area that represents other rapidly growing areas of the county. While it may not have the same natural hazards as other areas, the public health, welfare, and safety model presented could easily be used in other areas where planners want to emphasize natural disaster mitigation.
