An attempt is made to correlate ground motions resulting from the October 17, 1989 earthquake with the geologic features of the SLAC site. Recent deformations of the linac are also related to slow motions observed over the past 20 years. Measured characteristics of the earthquake are listed. Some effects on machine components and detectors are noted. Some recommendations regarding instrument site are made. In carrying out this work it was necessary to find and review many of the original records which describe the site and which are still available today. Since only a portion of this material can be found in the published literature, a listing and location file of some of the relevant material is provided. 36 refs., 30 figs.
