Abstract: This point shapefile depicts locations of geologic reports submitted withland use applications for the County of Santa Cruz, California. Engineering geology reports must be prepared by a geologist licensed by the State of California Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists. Only reports prepared by a properly licensed professional will be accepted for review by the County. Development and development activities may be required to have a Geologic Hazards Assessment (GHA) done prior to issuance of a building permit.

This layer is part of a collection of GIS data created for Santa Cruz County, California.
