Tremors

[Zigenare]

There are, and the trigger for suspension of work has been set at 0.8 - hence the story. Other sites in Europe use 2.0 as the trigger - about the same as a sparrow sneezing on your window sill.

Is it worth mentioning that these tremors are deep underground and happening in a shale deposit, which isn't the most stable of rock formations anyway (else fracking wouldn't work). No, thought not...

Oh the humanity! Will no-one think of the poor fossils!

IIRC 1.5 is the limit in the rest of Europe.
