I don't think it's for earthquake but could be wrong.
The requirement for the electrical was at 48" but
I was also allowed to bury my phone cable in the same trench.
The phone cable had to be seperated from the electrical by at least
12" so it sits at 36". This is in a rural area so I would not want to
to bury any less of or my tractor implements would be snagging the
cables.
