The Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) at Homestake presents an opportunity to conduct a unique experimental program by providing access to locations with vertical stresses as large as 60 MPa (down to 2400m depth), more than sufficient to create faults. It also allows facilities at different depths, permitting experiments to be conducted under different stress levels. These proposed experiments require a facility providing access to large rock volumes in the deep subsurface in a controlled setting, and one where interdisciplinary collaborations are encouraged; all the conditions are met at DUSEL Homestake.This award will bring together key members of the scientific community in a series of two planning workshops with the ultimate goal to develop a proposal that will be included in the NSF DUSEL Major Research Equipment and Facility Construction (MREFC) project in 2011.Workshop 1 - The first of the proposed workshops will bring together 6 investigators in Lead, SD with the objectives of planning the project, interfacing with other research groups and the facility, and identifying suitable locations for the experiment. This planning exercise will take place 30 Sept. to 2 Oct. 2009.Workshop 2 - A second workshop is planned for Berkeley, CA in March 2010 with the purpose of reviewing designs of experiments that will be described in the proposal. This workshop will bring together 15-20 scientists working on various aspects of the experiments with engineers working on instrumentation and equipment to address various aspects of implementation. In addition, experts from appropriate fields who are not currently involved with the project will be invited to the workshop to review progress and provide suggestions. The objective of the design workshop is to finalize scientific objectives and approach of the S5 DUSEL proposal.

位于霍姆斯塔克的深层地下科学与工程实验室(DUSEL)提供了一个机会，通过提供进入垂直应力高达60兆帕(低至2400米深)的位置，进行一项独特的实验计划，足以产生断层。它还允许不同深度的设施，允许在不同的压力水平下进行实验。这些拟议的实验需要一个在受控环境下提供进入深层地下大岩石体积的设施，以及一个鼓励跨学科合作的设施；所有条件都在杜塞尔霍梅斯塔克满足。该奖项将把科学界的关键成员聚集在一系列的两个规划研讨会中，最终目标是制定一项提案，将于2011年纳入NSF杜塞尔重大研究设备和设施建设(MREFC)项目。研讨会1-第一个拟议的研讨会将汇集6名研究人员领导，SD的目标是规划项目，与其他研究小组和设施对接，并确定适合实验的地点。这次规划演习将于9月30日举行。研讨会2-计划于2010年3月在加利福尼亚州伯克利举行第二次研讨会，目的是审查将在提案中描述的实验设计。这次研讨会将汇集15-20名从事实验各个方面工作的科学家，以及从事仪器和设备工作的工程师，以解决实施的各个方面。此外，将邀请目前没有参与该项目的适当领域的专家参加研讨会，以审查进展情况并提出建议。设计讲习班的目的是最后确定S5杜塞尔提案的科学目标和方法。
