Type: Feature Layer
Geometry Type: esriGeometryPolyline
Description: This dataset is the boundary between liquefaction zones as defined inFigure 2.1 ofBrackley (comp), 2012, Review of liquefaction hazard information in eastern Canterbury, including Christchurch City and parts of Selwyn, Waimakariri and Hurunui Districts,Environment Canterbury report R12/83. There are two zones: Damaging Liquefaction Unlikely and Liquefaction Assessment Needed. The zones exclude those areas already classified into Technical Categories by the Department of Building and Housing (now Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment).The zones are primarily for use by territorial authorities to help them decide whether a separate geotechnical assessment relating to liquefaction will be needed for development, and for subdivision and building permits to be granted.

Description: Zones showing areas of different liquefaction susceptibility and recommended level of liquefaction assessment to be undertaken before building on the site. The zones are based mainly on geological, soil and groundwater information, and information collected after the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake.The zones do not show the likelihood of liquefaction over any given time frame, they simply show the susceptibility of the sediments to liquefaction during strong earthquake shaking based on the properties of the soil. Likelihoods of liquefaction over a given time frame would be assessed in a site specific investigation and design stage, if required.Accompanying report is Golder Associates Ltd, 2019, Liquefaction Study for Kaikoura District. available from Environment Canterbury or Kaikoura District Council.

Description: This layer delineates zones of liquefaction susceptibility. The zones are based on simplified geological groupings. The shapefile is based on the 1:250,000 map in the Earthquake Hazard Assessment for Kaikoura District (Yetton & McCahon, 2009), but uses the more accurate boundaries of geological units directly from the Kaikoura 1:250,000 geological map shapefile (Rattenbury et al, 2006) as the zone boundaries.

Description: The datasetshows zones of different liquefaction susceptibilitywithin Hurunui district.The dataset is based on the 1:250,000 liquefaction potential maps(Figures 2 and 3)in McCahon (2011) Liquefaction hazard in Hurunui District. Environment Canterbury report number R11/61, but uses the more accurate boundaries of geological units directly from the GNS Science QMAP (1:250,000) geological map series (Greymouth, Kaikoura and Christchurch map sheets)as the zone boundaries. The McCahon (2011)report also used the surface geology from the GNS Science QMAP series, with limited borehole information, to delineate areas of liquefaction potential, but the maps in the report were not developed in GIS and are not adequately georeferenced. NOTE: The southeastern part of this dataset (around Leithfield, Leithfield Beach and Amberley Beach) has been superseded by Brackley (comp), 2012, Review of liquefaction hazard information in eastern Canterbury, including Christchurch City and parts of Selwyn, Waimakariri and Hurunui districts, Environment Canterbury report R12/83.

Environment Canterbury report number R09/32, but uses the more accurate boundaries of geological units directly from the GNS Science QMAP (1:250,000) geological map series as the zone boundaries. The Yetton & McCahon (2009) report also used the surface geology from the GNS Science QMAP series, with limited borehole information, to delineate areas of liquefaction potential, but the maps in the report were not developed in GIS and are not adequately georeferenced.

Description: This dataset delineates zones of liquefaction susceptibility. The zones have been digitised from the liquefaction potential map (Figure 7.1) in Yetton & McCahon, 2002, Ashburton District Engineering Lifelines Project: Earthquake Hazard Assessment. Environment Canterbury report U02/55. The northwestern part of the district was not included in the mapping because it is very sparsely populated. This dataset will be redrawn in 2014 using the more accurate 1:250,000 QMAP geological map unit boundaries.

Description: This dataset delineates zones of liquefaction susceptibility. The zones are based on simplified geological groupings. Most of the dataset, outside of Timaru township, is based on the 1:300,000 Timaru district liquefaction potential map(Figure 1) in McCahon, 2013, Liquefaction Hazard in Timaru District (Environment Canterbury report R13/29) but uses the more accurate boundaries of geological units directly from the GNS Science1:250,000 QMAP geological map shapefile as the zone boundaries. In Timaru township, including the three areas of moderate liquefaction potential and three zones of low potential, the zones are digitised directly from the 1:25,000 Timaru township liquefaction potential map (Figure 2) in the above report, and also from Borelog Location sheets 3 (1:4,000), 4 (1:5,000) and 6 (1:10,000) from Appendix E of the above report. These zones differ from the zones in the 1:300,000 map (Figure 1), and from the 1:250,000 QMAP geological map unit boundaries, but are assumed to be more accurate.

Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>This map dataset is derived from an office-based (i.e. 'desktop') assessment of available information on geology, geomorphology (i.e. landforms), groundwater conditions, and other data where relevant. This feature class contains areas (polygons) representing the interpreted extent of potentially liquefaction-susceptible ground. The dataset is based largely on broad-scale inferences and should not be used in isolation for any purposes requiring site-specific information. The main purpose of the dataset is to delineate areas where liquefaction hazard may warrant further scrutiny for future planning and development activities..</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
