Page 2 of 8 GEO.DCPP.TR.14.04 R0 Appendix A Dr. Felix Waldhauser performed various sensitivity tests using synthetic earthquake locations to find the optimal OBS locations that also fit the permitting requirements. Waldhauser's analysis method and selected results are shown at the end of his email 'train".

He felt that synthetic tests Syn04.2 and Syn05.2 were considered good array designs that would meet our objectives. The Syn04 design would probably record and locate very small events on the shoreline fault right off-shore DC (Figure 1). The Syn05 design would be optimized to best constrain events towards the fault intersection, and produce better network criteria for events on the Hosgri fault (Figure 2). However, due to the constraints set by the permitting agencies, designs Syn04.2 and Syn05.2 had to be modified. The results labeled syn07.2_20km and syn07.2_55km are the preferred OBS locations (Figure 3). Figure 4 shows the final locations and corresponding errors from HYPOINVERSE for synthetic events recorded at stations within 20 km (top) and 55 km (bottom).

These final results were used to write the request for proposal. Details of these tests are described in the emails below.

Diablo Canyon Power Plant OBS Cable Post

-Deployment Diver Survey November 14, 2013 Prepared for:

Prepared by:

Ms. Marcia McLaren Tenera Environmental Purpose This report describes the post-deployment survey findings for the nearshore section of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant (DCPP) Ocean Bottom Seismometer (OBS) cable. The nearshore section of the cable starts at the -80 ft (-24 m) MLLW depth contour outside the DCPP intake cove and passes through the intake cove to where it rises up the intertidal revetment through a conduit on the northeast shore of the intake cove (Figure 1). From there the cable passes under a road and terminates inside the data processing lab. The nearshore section was surveyed by divers using SCUBA because the shallow area cannot be surveyed by remote operated vehicles (ROVs), due to the presence of kelp and rock pinnacles that can tangle the ROV tether and cable. The divers collected latitude/longitude coordinates of the as-built nearshore cable alignment, and completed underwater videography to document the habitats and species along the cable. A GIS shapefile with the coordinates of the cable alignment and the video are provided as additional deliverables. Prior to the cable deployment, the habitats and predominant benthic species along the planned cable route of the nearshore section were documented in surveys completed by Tenera divers on May 17-20, 2011.

1 The nearshore section of the OBS cable was subsequently deployed through the intake cove on July 26, 2013. Tenera divers assisted with deploying and positioning portions of the nearshore cable section to its final (as-built) alignment. The post-deployment survey of the nearshore cable section was then completed on October 16, 2013. The following sections of the present report describe the survey methods and findings.

Methods The OBS cable post-deployment survey of the nearshore section was completed on October 16, 2013. Seas were calm with 1-2 ft (0.3-0.6 m) swell, and winds were light. Underwater horizontal visibility was approximately 20 ft (6 m). The survey began at a starting depth of approximately -76 ft (-23 m) MLLW, which was approximately 230 ft (70 m) further offshore from the outermost location of the pre-deployment survey. From there the survey progressed inshore (Figure 1). The submerged cable was videotaped using a Sony Handycam Model HDR-CX550V digital video camera inside a Light and Motion Bluefin 550 waterproof housing. At the same time, the divers towed a Garmin ETrex Legend GPS unit attached to a surface float with the tether line held taught to keep the GPS unit directly above the divers. This provided a trackline of latitude/longitude coordinates for the Figure 1. OBS cable nearshore section through the DCPP intake cove showing the as-built alignment (green) and planned alignment (red) and divided into three segments based on substrate habitat s crossed. Running times of the video camera are shown for every 4-minutes.

nearshore cable section (Figure 1). The GPS unit was set to record at 3-second intervals. The GPS and camera times were synchronized by correcting for the time offset between the two units (by videotaping the time display of the GPS unit). This allowed the video images to be synced with their locations along the cable route. Results and Discussion The total cable distance surveyed from the -76 ft (2 3 m) MLLW depth outside the intake cove to the intertidal reve tment at the shoreline was approximately 1,837 ft (560 m). The total run time of the underwater video was 39 minutes 46 seconds. The divers were able to survey this entire distance in a single dive, and thus the videotaping and position recordings ran continuously and were never interrupted. The as-built OBS cable alignment of the nearshore section determined by towing a surface GPS unit over the cable appears in Figure 1. The actual alignment, however, is likely 'smoother' than the line shown in Figure 1, due to the GPS unit not being able to be kept directly above the video divers at all times. It was difficult to keep the GPS unit directly above the video divers when they were in deep water, in the intake cove entrance area where currents were strong, and where surface canopy kelp and drift kelp became tangled with the GPS tether line. Overall, the as-built cable alignmen t of the nearshore section closely matches the planned alignment (Figure 1); the cable passes through the same general zones described in the pre-deployment survey that were differentiated based on habitat and species characteristics. The underwater video reveals the as

-built cable laying across three types of substrate habitats

an expansive sand flat mainly outside the intake cove; areas of mixed substrates (bedrock, boulder, cobble, gravel, sand) inside the intake cove; and areas of mainly bedrock and boulders where the cable approaches the intertidal revetment and comes to shore (Figure 1 , Table 1). Table 1. Approximate lengths (m) of the nearshore OBS cable crossing over three types of substrates.

Segment Video Run Time Depth Range Sand Flat Mixed Substrates Rocky Comments

The cable lengths associated with the substrate habitats in Table 1 are approximate, and would be expected to change seasonally due to sand accretion and attrition associated with natural sediment transport in the area. There were no indications of habitats or biota having been impacted from the cable installation. The cable was deployed very close to the planned route, and there were no observations of overturned rocks, damaged kelp, or injured or dislodged invertebrates, which would indicate potential impacts due to the deployment of the cable. Furthermore, the divers shifted the alignment of the cable in areas where movement may have resulted in impacts. The cable is small in diameter (approximately 0.5 in. [1.3 cm]), and was already settling and becoming buried under sand in many areas. It had been 73 days since the time the cable was deployed. Representative video images of the nearshore cable section follow.
