Geologic data have been compiled for known and suspected Quaternary faults in southern Nevada and southeastern California within about 100 km of the potential repository site at Yucca Mountain. This compilation is based on published and readily available literature, including theses and dissertations. The data set includes regional studies that attempt to identify and evaluate lineaments, scarps, and other possible tectonic landforms of possible Quaternary age, detailed studies that focus on a single fault, and geologic studies that were completed for purposes other than evaluation of Quaternary fault activity. Studies included in this compilation are those that were available as of December 1993. Faults that have known or suspected Quaternary activity are presented on a topographic base map at a scale of 1:250,000. Data for each fault that are pertinent to the assessment of future faulting and earthquake events are assembled on description sheets and summarized on tables. Faults that have known evidence for or are suspected of Holocene (<10 ka) or late Pleistocene (>10 ka and <130 ka) surface rupture are highlighted on the map because these faults may be the most likely to produce ground motions that could impact the potential repository. This compilation identifies ten faults within 50 km of the site but outside the site area and an additional fourteen faults between 50 km and 100 km of the site for which evidence for Holocene or late Pleistocene surface rupture has been reported in the literature. The longest and most continuous of these faults is the northwest-striking, 250km-long Furnace Creek fault (including its possible extension into Fish Lake Valley), which is located about 50 km west of the site. In addition to identifying known or suspected Quaternary faults within about 100 km of the site, this compilation demonstrates the lack of information for most of these faults. Future work will undoubtedly change the portrayal of Quaternary faults presented in this report and on the accompanying map by eliminating some faults shown here, by adding other faults for which Quaternary rupture has not yet been recognized, and by revising and refining the age designations and other data for many of the faults.
