Section C - Description / Specifications / Work Statement C.1 Statement of Work C.1.1 Introduction The southeastern seaboard of the United States has experienced 1

considerable seis.nic activity in various locations, including a large, damaging earthquake near Charleston, South Carolina in 1886. Present day seismicity of the region is composed of smaller tremors. Areas exhibiting a relatively high level of activity include central Virginia, Giles County, Virginia, and parts of South Carolina and central and western North Carolina. Areas between central Virginia and Charleston.

I South Carolina, including most of eastern North Carolina, show remarkably low activity.

Causes for the seismicity in this region are not well defined, although recent studies in central Virginia and the Charleston area have provided some new thoughts on possible causative structures in the subsurface.

Because of the uncertainity on sources of earthquake activity it has been persistently difficult to assign levels of expected ground motion and recurrence intervals to nuclear facility sites in the eastern United i States. The Criteria used by the U. S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in establishing design values for earthquake ground motion, as described in Appendix A to 10 CFR Part 100, require that the seismicity in a given location be correlated with tectonic structures or tectonic provinces. Because of the lack of specific known structures, the tectonic province approach must be used in most of the region, which also presents a number of difficulties.

The work to be done under this contract will contribute to NRC's capability to reduce uncertainties in estimating seismic risk to nuclear

- 3RC-04-85-106 Page 3 facilities. In particular, the aim of this work os to obtain more i

specific information on subsurface structures that may be related to the seismic activity in selected areas of the southeastern Piedmont.

! C.I.2 Background l

l An understanding of the causes of seismicity on the southeast seismic risk at a given location in this region. A number seaboard of hypothese is still la exist to explain Thos the seismicity at a certain location or in the general se "b y heses remain largely untested, leaving the causes of f

There are several problems that contribute to this situation. The first of these is the depth of earthquake hypocenters which is of the order of i i

several km. Knowledge of the composition and structure of the earth's crust diminishes rapidly with distance from the surface, and the abiiity to relate seimicity to specific structures diminishes accordingly.

The second problem is that, in the eastern United States, zones of j

seismicity are usually diffuse, showing only suggestions of trends

{

4 instead of positive alignments along faults. However, the recent

! Coalinga earthquake in California and its aftershocks have provided an

! example of an earthquake which was not associated 6 tith surface rupture and known surface faulting, in which it was possible to correlate the i i

earthquake sequence with subsurface faulting. Oil field seismic l reflection surveys in the area showed subsurface faults which produced L

upwarping of overlying strata and topographic ridges at the surface.

Fault plane solutions at Coalinga generally correspond to the directions

of the subsurface faults.

! The third characteristic of eastern earthquakes that renders them j difficult to interpret is the generally long recurrence intervals. For

, instance, recent informatien indicates that, in recent geologic history,

! there have been several earthquakes near Charleston that must have been of the same general intensity, but only the earthquake of 1886 was recorded in history.

It is expected that, as more details become known about the deeper structure of the crust along the eastern seaboard, it will be possible to make more definite correlations between seismicity and structure. In the Piedmont region, surface geology provides the most detailed level of information. Information from borings on deeper layers is much more t

! sparse, inasmuch as deep borings are rare. Geophysical methods can also be used to gain insight into deeper crustal structure but, again, such j

information is sparse for this region. In addition, geophysical data i follow a general law, whereby resolution diminishes with depth. Among the geophysical methods, seismic reflection surveys provide the most

! definitive

relativel information, even though the cost of data acquisition is cheaper, but y high.

theyOther havemethods, such as gravity and magnetics, are much lower resolution. In conjunction with reflection t data, other geophysical methods are very valuable for corroboration and for elimination of false interpretations; they also permit interpolation between seismic reflection lines. Generally, an integrated

NRC-04-85-106 Page 4 interpretation gives far more weight to conclusions reached than interpretation of one type of geophysical data alone.

Recently, a better understanding has been obtained of the deeper structure of the crust in some areas in or near the scutheastern Piedmont. Reflection profiles by C0 CORP, VPI, and some comercial contractors that are available near Charleston, and other work by the USGS and the University of South Carolina -

including trenching and drilling - have given new insight into the background of the Charleston earthquake. Studies of the central Virginia seismic zone by VPI have included Vibrosets data and hypocenter detenninations. According to these studies, earthquake hypocenters in this area apparently correlate with thrust faults in the subsurface. A recent study by EPRI, which attempts to correlate earthquake probabilities with tectonic provinces in the eastern U. S., contains a compilation of geologic, geophysical, and seismological data.

Other data are being gathered through a number of NRC contracts.

Neotectonic investigations and stress measurements are in progress, as are reflection seismic and other investigations of the Charleston and central Virginia areas. A related geological and geophysical study of the Ramapo fault zone in New Jersey and New York is nearing completion.

Together with these other sources of information, this proposed study is expected to provide new insight into specific problems of seismology and structure in the southern Piedmont.

C.I.3 Contract Objective The purpose of this contract is to select a specific seismological problem related to the southern Piedmont, to design a program of seismic reflection and other geophysical investigations, to execute this program, and to interpret the resulting data together with other geophysical / geological data in an integrated fonnat. The information

' gathered is to be used to advance the state of knowledge on possible causes of seismicity in the Piedmont of Virginia and the Carolinas, particularly with respect to structure at hypocentral depths.

C.I.4 Scope of Work The Contractor shall provide all the necessary personnel, materials, facilities, equipment, and services to conduct Tasks 1 and 2. The Contractor is responsible for obtaining necessary pennission to conduct field investigations and is reaponsible for any damages. The Contractor shall not begin on Task 2 without written consent from the NRC Project Officer. In addition to the reporting requirements, the Contractor shall keep the NRC Project Officer advised of any significant developments or findings in this project.

The area of investigation is limited to the Piedmont of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The investigation may be carried into nearby areas of adjacent geomorphic provinces, if it is necessary to define a given structure or answer a specific scientific question.

Areas that may be of particular interest are the central Virginia seismic zone and the Piedmont of South Carolina. However, if any of

' - ' fiRC-04-85-106

'Page 5 these areas are chosen, special care must be exercised to take into account the considerable amount of previous and ongoing work in these areas. Another question of interest is how the seismically quiet zone in North Carolina is different from more active are'as and what structures may be present in the quiet zone.

C.I.4.1 Task 1 - Study Area Selection and Exploration Pla]

Task I has the purpose of defining the problem to be solved, the area (s) to be investigated, and the seismic reflection work and other geophysical / geological investigations to be carried out. This involves a review and summary of existing data and hypotheses on the seismicity of the southern Piedmont. The task is divided into two subtasks.

Subtask 1A - Selection of Problem and Areas to be Studied The Contractor shall evaluate existing infonnation on the seismicity, hypocentral depths, geology and tectonics of the region together with existing reflection surveys and other geophysical data. Based on this infonnation, a specific problem in seismicity shall be selected to form the basis of this study. In fonnulating this task, a wider range of questions should be kept in mind rather than attempting to prove a particular theory.

The seimicity problem must be of such a nature that a reflection survey can be expected to provide answers concerning sources of earthquakes and be expected to advance the state of knowledge on the seismicity of the East Coast. An outline of the problem must, of necessity, contain a description of current theories on eastern seimicity. Data sources considered must include ongoing work by the USGS, universities, and a recent EPRI study relating earthquake probabilities to tectonic provinces in the eastern U.S. Data from this study which are important for the area chosen shall be obtained by the Contractor for the purpose of this project.

One or two areas of investigation shall then be celected where a seismic l reflection servey is to be carried out. Information from this survey is expected to provide new answers to the seismology problem chosen. A major purpose of this work is to obtain infonnation on crustal structure or tectonic processes at hypocentral depths to resolve tectonic processes at crustal levels that are not easily accessible from the surface. If more than one study area is used, the information from both areas should permit to answer a single seismological question.

Before proceeding with Subtask 18, approval from the NRC Project Officer shall be obtained. At his discretion, the NRC Project Officer may require a meeting to be held between NRC and Contractor's representatives to discuss the choice of areas and resolve remaining i questions. '

Subtask 1B - Plan for Seismic Reflection Survey and Other Exploration i

The Contractor shall establish a plan for a seismic reflection survey in l

l the area (s) chosen to provide data that are expected to resolve j i

- ~ _, ___. _ . . _ _ _ ,

.MRC-04-85-106 Page 6 seismological questions as defined in Subtask 1A. The plan shall include location of lines, total length of survey lines, and depth range to be explored. A description shall be given of the seismic source to be used, shotpoint and group spacings, number of phones / group, subsurface coverage, recording parameters and processing sequence. The seismic survey shall be tied in - to existing boreholes as much as possible. If suitable open boreholes exist, check shots, or vertical seismic profiles should be obtained. A rationale shall be given for the parameters chosen, survey line directions envisioned, etc. If comercial data are available for part of the area, upon approval of the '

NRC Project Officer, the Contractor may purchase such data.

In addition to the seismic reflection survey, other geophysical, geological and seismological data shall be considered. All available .

information shall be used to provide the proper interpretation for the i reflection data. Among the seismological data focal mechanisms, hypocenter solutions and stress data are of particular interest. Other geophysical data, such as gravity, magnetics, etc. may be acquired for i

i the purpose of this project to fill in gaps. Various types of remote sensing data may also have special application to this project.

A preliminary schedule and projected costs shall be included in the plan for field work. A limited amount of field work may be carried out under i this task to determine .the suitability of sites, access and other

requirements. The result of this work shall be a report on Task 1, i which includes the plan for Task 2. At his discretion, the NRC Project

' Officer may require a meeting with the Contractor prior to finalization of the report. The Contractor shall not proceed on Task 2 until written j

consent.is received from the NRC Project Officer. The Contractor should j receive consent or coments within 30 working days after submittal of the plan.

! C.1.4.2 Task 2 - Field Work, Interpretation, and Synthesis

! During the performanc'e of Task 2, the Contractor may be required at the

! discretion of the NRC Project Officer to attend a meeting to discuss j significant field work results.

! Subtask 2A - Field Work After written approval from the NRC Project Officer, field work shall be carried out in accordance with the work plan established in Subtask 18.

The Contractor must notify the Project Officer of any significant i

undertaking, such as the beginning of seismic field work, so that an NRC representative may be present during data acquisition.

t l

These investigations shall be conducted according to accepted industry standards and shall be documented in accordance -with quality assurance procedures that will permit tracing of work performed and results obtained. Partial processing of the data in the field or concurrent processing in the laboratory shall be employed to ascertain the quality of data being obtained.

NRC-04-85-106 Page 7 Subtask 2B - Data Evaluation, Synthesis and Final Repor_t Results from these investigations shall be analyzed together with previously known information to arrive at a synthesis of the facts that explains, in as much detail as possible, the reasons for and tectonic processes associated with the seismicity at the chosen site (s).

The results and interpretations obtained from this work shall be presented in a final report within 24 months after execution of the contract. The final report shall contain a chapter summarizing the additional knowledge gained from this work, the inferences made on causes of eastern seismicity, and suggestions for future investigations that may be needed.

A draf t report shall be submitted to the NRC Project Officer for review and coment before the final report is issued. At the discretion of the NRC, a meeting with the Contractor may be required to present results and the draft final report.

C.I.4.3 Optional Task 3 If the government exercises its option to require additional work as i described here under the work scope, the cost to perfonn such work and the delivery schedule shall be negotiated by the NRC Contracting Officer and a funded modification to the contract will be issued to the Contractor. Refer to Section H.9 entitled, " Option to Extend the Tenns of the Contract Services."

Depending on the results of the work and other considerations, there may be a Task 3 which continues the work outlined for Task 2. In Task 3 the Contractor shall perfonn selected geophysical and/or geological field investigations, which the results of Task 2 have shown to be necessary to resolve remaining uncertainties and which are feasible to conduct and analyze within a year. The data obtained from these field investigations shall be analyzed and integrated with the work ~of Task 2, and a report describing the additional work and insights gained from it shall be issued within 12 months from the start of Task 3. If this optional Task 3 is exercised, the detailed plan for Task 3 and any work to be done on this task must be approved in writing by the NRC Project Officer.

C.2 Meetings and Travel Prior to any of the following trips taken during the period of perfonnance under this contract, the Contractor shall obtain verbal or written approval of the NRC Project Officer. If the NRC Project Officer requires any of the following one-day meetings, it will be convened by the NRC Project Officer at the NRC facilities in Silver Spring, Ma ryland.
