Preliminary assessment of active faulting in the Victoria/Esquimalt region of British Columbia / J.V. Barrie, B. Molloy, and K. Douglas.: M183-2/8774E-PDF
"Based on recently collected seismic-reflection survey data, the western extent of the active Devils Mountain Fault where it meets the Leech River Fault has been mapped for the first time, just offshore of the cities of Victoria and Esquimalt, British Columbia. This combined approximately 180 km long fault has now been mapped from the interior of Washington State, USA onto southern Vancouver Island, BC, Canada. The occurrence of such an active fault zone poses a high possibility of a significant crustal earthquake occurring near the cities of Victoria and Esquimalt"--Abstract, page 3.
