Seismicity at Lake Jocassee continued at a low level during 2000, with a maximum magnitude ML2.7. Of the twenty-four located events recorded by the Jocassee sub-network, eighteen events were located near Lake Jocassee. The events were scattered around Lake Jocassee and located at depths generally less than 5.0 km. Two events were located around Lake Keowee. The earthquake locations in the vicinity of Lake Keowee are not considered to be very accurate because of the sparsity of stations. The locations are based primarily on data recorded at stations near Lake Jocassee.
The earthquake catalog shows detailed parameters of these events.More detailed analyses of seismicity are given in quarterly reports to Duke Engineering and Services, Inc., (Talwani et al, 2000 a, b, c).
