Comments
Slip rate of 9 mm/yr based on assumption that dextral slip from Hayward - Rodgers Creek fault carried northwestward onto Maacama zone (WGNCEP, 1996). Fault has creep rate of 6.9 mm/yr in Ukiah (Galehouse, 1995). Aseismic slip factor of 0.4 applied based on factor calculated for Hayward fault.
