Stafford County is in an area affected by earthquakes, such as the August 23, 2011, earthquake which was the US's Most-Felt Earthquake and caused $200-300 million of damage.

As noted on the Chino Hills website, "There is no other example in the nation that has a 500kV line in a seismically active densely residential community like the [150 foot right of way] proposed by SCE. The closest example is in Georgia where residents purchased property after the line was built and it does not have any known susceptibility to earthquakes or landslides. Also, there are approximately 200 houses there rather than more than 1000."

Ignoring the threat to public safety, Dominion proposes to run the Kraken's TWO power high voltage power lines through a 120 foot easement affecting 864 homes and multiple Stafford schools.
