Investigation Report. Results of sample soil borings taken at site – See attached exhibit #7. Documentation of the following risks factors, including seismic vibration/activity, fault lines, sinkholes, past
undermining – Attached exhibit #8 is USGS Earthquake Hazards Program Report, and a report from BestSyndication. Both reports indicate that Rock County is a relatively low risk area for earthquakes. Thenearest fault line is the New Madrid fault line in Missouri. Also attached is exhibit #9, USGS LandslideOverview Map indicating that Rock County is at low risk for landslides.
