Slate Geotechnical Consultants performed earthquake-related geologic  and geotechnical hazards assessments for existing Fish & Wildlife  Service facilities located throughout the country. Facilities include  National Wildlife Refuges, National Fish Hatcheries, Migratory Bird  Refuges, welcome centers, administrative offices, dormitories, and  laboratories. The goal of the program is to enhance seismic resilience  across the U.S. by reducing earthquake-related risk and allowing for  uninterrupted performance of federally owned and leased buildings.

Project sites have included locations in Alaska, Arkansas,  California, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, and Wyoming. For each site, we  reviewed historical regional seismicity including significant  earthquakes that may have affected the site or its immediate vicinity.  We also assessed each site with respect to earthquake shaking, fault  rupture, liquefaction, lateral spreading, settlement, and landsliding.
