Relatively Stable Ground

EXPLANATION
Level ground to moderately steep slopes underlain by bedrock within approximately three feet
of the ground surface or less; relatively thin soil mantle may be subject to shallow landsliding,
settlement, and soil creep
Unconsolidated granular material (alluvium, slope wash, and thick soil) on level ground and
gentle slopes; subject to settlement and soil creep; liquefaction possible at valley floor sites
during strong earthquakes
Naturally stabilized ancient landslide debris on gentle to moderately steep slopes; subject to
settlement and soil creep
Areas with Significant Potential for Ground Movement
Pmw
Paf
Pdf
Steep to very steep slopes generally underlain by weathered and fractured bedrock subject
to mass -wasting by rockfall, slumping, and raveling
Areas of artificial fill materials subject to localized settlement and/or potential landsliding
on moderately steep to steep ground and where placement may not have met engineering
specifications
Unstable, unconsolidated material, commonly less than 10 feet in thickness, on gentle to
moderately steep slopes subject to shallow landlsiding, slumping, settlement, and soil creep
Liquefaction hazard zones as mapped by the Califomia Geological Survey depicted by stipple
Unstable, unconsolidated material, commonly more than 10 feet in thickness, on moderate
to steep slopes; subject to deep landsliding
Debris flows (shallow, rapidity moving landslides) including recognized source areas and
flow paths. Depositional runout areas may not be fully depicted
Areas with Potential for Primary Fault Rupture
Zone of potential primary surface fault rupture
V - -y Potentially active fault traces
Unstable Ground Characterized by Seasonally Active Downslope Movement
Moving shallow landslides, commonly less than 10 feet in thickness
Moving deep landslides, commonly more than 10 feet in thickness

PREVIOUS CITY SOURCE MAPS
NOTE TO USERS:
This is an interpretive map derived both from the Geologic Maps of the City of
Saratoga and from additional field observations and geologic experience in the
Saratoga region. All boundaries between zones are located approximately.
Information on this map is NOT sufficient to serve as a substitute for detailed,
site-specific geologic and geotechnical investigations necessary for construction.
Mapping illustrates the relative stability or movement potential, in the Saratoga area,
of ground in its natural undisturbed state. Works of man may seriously atter the
natural stability of the ground.
This map is an update and expansion of the Initial Movement Potential of Undisturbed
Ground Maps prepared by Terratech (1985), William Cotton and Associates, Inc.
(1977), and William Cotton and Associates, Inc. (1980). Alignment of the Berrocal Fault
reflects results of site specific fault investigations submitted to the City and cracking of
ground observed after the Loma Prieta Earthquake (1989). Alignments of the Monta Vista
and Shannon Faults reflect consideration of mapping by Rogers and Williams (1974)
and Herd (1980) and Bedrossian (1980a).
City limits and parcels are approximate and should not be used to determine property
boundaries or relied upon for topographic purposes. Approximations of road alingments
are indicated as dashed lines and were added to the City Parcel and Street base layer
(2005) for illustrative purposes. The map utilizes a 2006 topographic base map with
depicted contour intervals of 20 feet.
