. On Wednesday afternoon, May 29, Al Clebsch met in my office with Messrs. Bryan, Hadlock, Newell and Case. Mr. Clebech furnished d a summary as to where the p;oological work stood on the Bodega  ;

dead site. In addition to that discussion, there was.some l

. discussion of time table. Mr. Clebech stated that he and the 'I other Geological survey members working on the matter regretted j very teach the statement in the Seentary's letter saying that a report could be ftarnished to the ABC in two weeks. Mr. Clebsch said tais is impossibla; that he wuld hope that the Geological 4 Survy working group (composed, as I understand it, of himself )

and two people in the 08 California office at Menlo Park) could -

furnish their sport by approximately June 17-and that it would ] '

undoubtedly be aces time after that before the ABC would receive it since the report would be sub, ject to review by the Head of.the-Geological survey, and the Secretary's office-is interested in the matter.

We r* tad Mr. C1mbsch that we had =*hadislad a meeting with him and our consultants for June 12 which we hope we would be able to keep. I said that we hope perhaps we might have a pre 14=4==v report if it is impossible'for us to receive a final report by that time. Mr. Clebach said that he and the other two people i would make every effort to have something to us in time for the I

June 12 meeting and he would hope (if AEC furnishes travel funds)

I that the two California people might also be able to attend the June 12 meeting with the two consultants.

I told Mr. Clebsch that we of the AEC were obviously not in a position to determine the time when we-will get the report in.

question, but that in view of the time mentioned in the Secretary's letter we hope it will be as soon as possible.

I Mr. Clebech said them was also a question as to whether work I s

abould be pone to detemine non prweisely the Western perimeter. )

of the San Andmas fault. Me said that M h5 has very conservatively pbaced the'Vestern edge of. the fault at the point indicated in the ,q

A e n Files PG&E application. . Mr. Clebach said that he did not believe that the Western edge could be more than 100' west of the edge as indicated by PG&R but that such a possibility could not be excluded on the basis of presently available information. He said .that Geological Survey equipment to 'do this work is not presently availmkle in California; that it might take two weeks to get it there and another two or so weeks to do the work and prepam a report. If.the equipment cannot be spared from its present use Geological Survey might enter into a

' contract (of about $3,000) to do the work. He inquired whether.from the ABC's point of view this work should be done.

We discussed the question' of whether this,porsible difference of 100' might be significant, but, although it may.not'be significant, no firm conclusion could be. reached at this stage.

I asked Mr. Clebach whether. the Geological Survey considered this determination (as to the west edge of the fault) to be a part of the -

investigation referred to in Secretary Udall's letter and he answered affirmatively. I said that if that was the case the correspondence betvoen Secretary Udall amt the Commission would'seem to dispose of the question. I indicated also that, in any event, the availability of the information might be helpful.

I suggested to Mr. Clebsch' that from the ABC's point of view we would prefer that any investigation concerning the Western edge of the San Andmas fealt not delay preparation of the report concerning the reactor site on Bodega Head.

During the course of our conversation Mr. Clebech indicated that it did not look as if the report we would get concerning the geology of Bodega Head, on or some time after June 17, would be a completely detailed s port; he indicated that the a port would be limited by time and the sym4 W 14ty of manpower to meet the date indicated.

Mr. Clebach said there was also a question as to'whether work' should be done to determine more precisely the Western pe.rimeter of the Sad Andreas fault. - He'said that PG&E has very conservatively placed the Western edge of the fault at the point indicated in the I
