Surface fault rupture is the permanent breaking, ripping, buckling or warping of the ground on or near the line where a fault meets the ground surface, as a result of movement on the fault. It is different from earthquake shaking.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN>The suggested Waimakariri fault hazard (</SPAN><SPAN>important infrastructure or facilities</SPAN><SPAN>) overlay is where the fault rupture hazard should be specifically considered and the fault rupture deformation areas mapped as part of a </SPAN><SPAN>consent for important or critical infrastructure or facilities (as defined in the Waimakariri District Plan)</SPAN><SPAN>.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Descriptions of the attribute fields:</SPAN></P><P><SPAN>Name: Fault name, taken from the district fault name field (e.g. </SPAN><SPAN>W</SPAN><SPAN>DC_name) in the district fault datasets. Some of these have been changed from the original district fault names to make them consistent with what is given in the district fault report.</SPAN></P><P><SPAN><SPAN>Zone:Fault zone that the fault is within, if any.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN><SPAN>Certainty:The level of confidence that the mapped feature is in fact an active earthquake fault - definite, likely or possible. See Barrell, et al, 2015 for full descriptions.</SPAN></SPAN></P><P><SPAN><SPAN>Surface form:How clearly the mapped feature can be seen at the ground surface - well expressed, moderately expressed, not expressed or unknown.

GNS Science Consultancy Report 2014/211. A 125m or 250m buffer was placed around the mapped fault traces to create this polygon dataset, depending on how certain the fault is, and how well expressed it is at the ground surface. Definite (well expressed and moderately expressed) fault and monocline records and likely (well expressed and moderately expressed) fault and monocline records have a 125m buffer, recognizing that the mapped location of the fault is fairly well constrained and is reasonably close the actual location. All other faults and monocline records have a 250m buffer, recognizing that the mapped location is not as well constrained. See Barrell, et al, 2015 for a full description of the method used to create this polygon dataset, and recommended actions for each type of area.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
