Description
This report presents the results of a preliminary evaluation of the East Bear Lake (EBF) and West Bear Lake (WBF) fault zones, which bound the east and west sides, respectively, of the Bear Lake Valley. The Bear Lake Valley straddles the Utah/Idaho border northeast of Logan, Utah. The results of this study show that both the EBF and the WBF have experienced surface-faulting earthquakes in the recent geologic past and therefore represent an ongoing seismic hazard to northeastern Utah and southeastern Idaho.
