| |Section |

| |6.2.2 |

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|Describe, by milepost, existing and potential geological hazards |Section |

|and areas of nonroutine geotechnical concern, such as high |6.1.3 |

|seismicity areas, active faults, and areas susceptible to soil |Section |

|liquefaction, planned, active and abandoned mines, karst terrain, |6.2.3 |

|and areas of potential ground failure, such as subsidence, | |

|slumping, and landsliding. Discuss the hazards posed to the | |
