Yes, the Wasatch fault is located in the middle of northern Utah, just to the east of the Great Salt Lake, and is in fact one of the largest and most active normal fault in the world. It however has not caused any large earthquakes since pioneer settlement in Utah. 80% of Utah's population near here.

Where are the fault lines on East Coast of US?
Fault lines are really located everywhere, but it's usually the major fault lines that you need to worry about. The recent Virginia earthquake, which occurred on Aug. 23, 2011, was not related to any major geological fault line. However, geologists are concerned with the New York-Alabama Lineament, which is a major magnetic fault line that runs from New York to Alabama. See the Related Link below for more information on fault lines in the U.S. east of the Rocky Mountains.
