The master plan submittal shall include an environmental summary, which consists of the information provided in the checklist on the following page. This checklist must be completed to show the developer has responded to all required criteria listed. For each information category, the developer must fill in the appropriate boxes with a check. Additionally, all reports, agency letters and other supporting documentation shall be attached to this checklist. Staff will review the checklist and attached materials and check the "complete" box if no additional work is required by the developer. The planning commission will review the staff's recommendation and determine if the materials are complete.

GEOLOGIC CONDITIONS AND HAZARDS
Law/Regulation: Chapter 17.18, "Sensitive Areas", of this title. After January 1, 2003, all projects will need to document consistency with Bear River natural hazard mitigation plan.
Summary: Cache County has a very high potential for a number of different geologic hazards that may pose problems for development. Consideration of geologic conditions and hazards should involve both analyzing the impact of these conditions and hazards on the proposed project and impact of the existing environment on the proposed project. The report should identify all geologic conditions and potential hazards which include proximity to all earthquake faults, area of landslide potential, steep slopes and other geologic hazards.
