USGS REPORT ON GEOLOGY OF BODEGA HEAD, DOCKET NO. 50-205 p j i

During the course of a telephone conversation with Mr. Clebsch on July 30, 1963 concerning the geohydrological aspects of.

\\

another' project, Mr. Clebsch volunteered the following infor -

nation concerning the status of the USGS report'on the PGkE' l

Bodera Bay reactor. project.

1F 1.

The USGS report is presently in the " Interior Department,"

l

. presumably "under consideration" by the office of. Mr. Rettie of the Resources Program Staff and by the Science _ Advisor's-office. In this regard the report was sent by Dr. Baker of USGS to the " Interior. Department" about the first of July for.

transmittal by the Secretary to the AEC. At that time Mr.

Rettie and the Science Advisor sent the report back to Dr.

Baker with comments that seismic aspects should be considered 1

in addition to the geologic'atudy performed.by the USGS.

Dr. Baker apparently did not agree with the-position taken-by Mr. Rettie and the Science Advisor and' transmitted'the' report back to the " Interior Department" with his' comments 4

to this effect, where, as indicated above, the report is still i

under consideration.

l l

2 Apparently Mr. Rettie and the Science Advisor are con-tinuing to withhold the report and to urge Dr. Baker-to i

l include a study and report on the seismology of the Bodega site as a part of the geologic report.- To date Dr. Baker has not agreed, although, of course, the USGS undoubtedly would

,I carry out such a study if femally requested by the Secretary.

In this respect it was my impression from the conversation that Dr. Baker has insisted that the geologic report should be sent

.i to the AEC without waiting for s.' study of seismology even if '

such a study were requested.
