From the Dischargers boring logs the hydraulic conductivity of the native soils underlying <br /> the Unit is estimated between 5 x 10"3 cm/sec (medium sand) and 4.7 x 10-9 cm/sec (clay). <br /> 12. Approximately 40 miles south of the facility is the Great Valley Fault. This is the closest <br /> Holocene fault to the facility. Its maximum magnitude is 6.7 and the peak ground <br /> acceleration for the site is 0.244 g. <br /> 13. Land uses within 1,000 feet of the facility are agricultural fields. There are no residences <br /> within 1,000 feet of the facility. <br /> 14. Contours of equal mean annual precipitation depth prepared by the USGS (1969) show that <br /> the SMS Briners facility is located between the 12 inch and 14 inch isohyetal contours. <br /> DWR adopted these isohyetal contours in their publication California Rainfall Summary, <br /> Monthly Total Precipitation, 1849-1980 (DWR, 1981). The facility receives an average of <br />
