3. Subfolder "Interpreted Seismic Horizons": Six different interpreted seismic horizons, which were exported from IHS Kingdom software in the following ASCII format:

X Y Line Trace Time Attribute The regional unconformities H10, H30, and H40 were originally mapped as part of the work described in the seismic stratigraphy report (Reference 1). A description of the mapping is provided in that report. These unconformities were subsequently used for interpretive work described in Chapter 3 of the CCCSIP Report (Reference 2) and the DCPP seismic source characterization report (Reference 3).

ASCII files containing these horizons as interpreted on the USGS seismic reflection profiles listed above (see sub-folder Seismic Reflection Profiles - PBS lines) are provided as .dat files. Note that unconformity H40 is provided as two separate ASCII files, one that includes the part of the horizon located west of the primary traces of the Hosgri fault (named H40_west.dat) and one east of the primary traces of the Hosgri fault (named H40_East.dat). Unconformities HG1 and HG2, which are described in Chapter 4 of the CCCSIP Report (Reference 2),

are also included as mapped on the COMAP and USGS lines listed above.

Enclosure PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 38 B. Data Disk 2. "SeflY export" Contents The folder titled "SegY export" includes the following items in subfolders:

  • Seismic reflection profiles
  • Interpreted seismic horizons HG1 and HG2
  • Interpreted seismic horizons Hi0, H30, and H40
  • Interpreted faults
1. Subfolder Seismic Reflection Profiles "COMAP Lines": SegY files from the COMAP, 1986 Survey. These seismic lines were interpreted as part of Chapter 4 of the OCCSIP report (Reference 2): The following lines are included:

1986 COMAP Survey Lines 35 37 39 41 43 45 47 49 51 55 These lines are provided in the UTM coordinate system, meters, relative to the WGS 1984 horizontal datum. They include seismic reflection amplitude data in TWTT. None of these lines have been depth corrected.

Enclosure PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-138

2. Subfolder Seismic Reflection Profiles "PBS Lines": SegY files for the following seismic lines:

USGS 2008 Survey USGS 2009 Survey PBS-08B PBS-203 PBS-37A PBS-204 PBS-37T PBS-204A PBS-38A PBS-206 PBS-38T PBS-207 PBS-39A PBS-209 PBS-39T PBS-210 PBS-40 PBS-212 PBS-49 PBS-220 PBS-50 PBS-229 PBS-230 PBS-232 P BS-2 33 PBS-235 PBS-236 P BS-2 37 PBS-238 PBS-238A PBS-238B PBS-255 PBS-256 PBS-258 PBS-259 PBS-260 PBS-26 1

_____ ____PBS-278 These profiles were exported from IHS Kingdom software and are provided in the UTM coordinate system, meters, relative to the WGS 1984 horizontal datum.

They include seismic reflection amplitude data in TWTT. None of these lines have been depth corrected. Additional information about the Point Buchon Sparker (PBS) lines collected by the USGS is provided in "High-Resolution Seismic Reflection and Marine Magnetic Data Along the Hosgri Fault Zone, Central California" (Reference 4).

Please note that this list differs slightly from the supplemental data request.

Differences between the requested data and those provided on the enclosed data diskette are as follows:

a. Lines PBS-88, PBS-37AT, and PBS-39AT do not exist. There are apparently typographical errors on Plate 7 of Chapter 4 of the CCCSIP report 7

Enclosure PG&E Letter DCL-1 5-1 38 (Reference 5). In lieu of these requested lines, we instead exported lines PBS-08B, PBS-37T, and PBS-39T.

b. We also included lines PBS-204 and PBS-238B, which are useful lines in this geographical extent.
3. Subfolder "Interpreted Seismic Horizons": Six different interpreted seismic horizons, which were exported from IHS Kingdom software in the following ASCII format:

X Y Line Trace Time Attribute The regional unconformities H10, H30, and H40 were originally mapped as part of the work described in the seismic stratigraphy report (Reference 1). A description of the mapping is provided in that report. These unconformities were subsequently used for interpretive work described in Chapter 3 of the CCCSIP Report (Reference 2) and the DCPP seismic source characterization report (Reference 3).

ASCII files containing these horizons as interpreted on the USGS seismic reflection profiles listed above (see sub-folder Seismic Reflection Profiles - PBS lines) are provided as .dat files. Note that unconformity H40 is provided as two separate ASCII files, one that includes the part of the horizon located west of the primary traces of the Hosgri fault (named H40_west.dat) and one east of the primary traces of the Hosgri fault (named H40_East.dat). Unconformities HG1 and HG2, which are described in Chapter 4 of the CCCSIP Report (Reference 2),

are also included as mapped on the COMAP and USGS lines listed above.

4. Subfolder "Interpreted Faults": Three different ASCII files containing faults interpreted on the seismic reflection profiles listed in the subfolder Seismic Reflection Profiles - COMAP lines and PBS lines).
a. File named "FAULTS SSHAC.dat": Faults that were mapped on the USGS data as part of the work described in the seismic stratigraphy report (Reference 1) and Chapter 3 of the CCCSIP Report (Reference 2). These faults are shown on the maps in the seismic source characterization report for the Diablo Canyon power plant (Reference 3). These include the following faults: LO1000, SS1000, HF1014, HF1015, HF1016, HF1023, HF1 024, HF1030, HF1031, HF1032, HF1033, HF1034, HF1 040, HF1045, and HF1051.
b. File named "Faults Ch 4": Named faults that were mapped on USGS data and COMAP data, as part of the work described in Chapter 4 of the CCCSIP Report (Reference 2).

Enclosure PG&E Letter DCL-15-138

c. File named "Faults Ch 4 unassiqined": Unassigned faults that were mapped on USGS data and COMAP data, as part of the work described in Chapter 4 of the CCCSIP Report (Reference 2).
