Show D. GENERAL LAND AREA Marriott-Slaterville City comprises a 7.3 square mile geographical area in Weber County about 38 miles north of Salt Lake City. Land area of the City ranges in elevation from 4,265 at the easternmost to 4,220 at the west edge.3 Farr West City borders Marriott-Slaterville on the north, Plain City is to the northwest, West Haven to south, and Ogden borders to the east. Marriott-Slaterville is unique as the City is located at the heart of the main watercourses in Weber County. The Ogden and Weber rivers join within the city limits and flow along the entire southern border of the City. Further, Mill Creek, Four Mile Creek, and Six Mile Creeks all flow through the City. Therefore, much of the City has wetland and flood plain areas rendering such land nearly uninhabitable.4 Pertaining to tectonic stability in this area, earthquakes of a magnitude of 4.0 or greater will generally induce slope failures, thus also liquefaction is a high risk.5 Section II - Capital Improvements Plan A.
