Dear Dr. Seaborg:
s'
.7 I am transmitting to you Geological Survey report (TEI-844) entitled ENGINEERING GEOLOGY OF THE NUCLEAR POWER PLANI SITE ON BODEGA HEAD,
. SONOMA COUNTY, CALIPORNIA. This report by Messrs. Schlocker and Bonilla, has been prepared in response to your October 3 request for further geological investigations of the proposed nuclear power plant site -- especially the fault which had then been uncovered in the bedrock of the excavation for the ~ 1ocation of the proposed plant.
The most pertinent finding of the study is summarized in this final paragraph from the abstract:
l
" Faults that occurred on Point Reyes peninsula in. rock similar to that of Bodega Head as a result of the earthquake faulting that occurred j
in 1906 indicate that if some future earthquake, in which fault displacements comparable to those that occurred on the San Andreas fault zone in 1906, took place near Bodega Head, rupturing of near-surface granitic bedrock, would be expected somewhere on Bodega Head."
I understand from Survey personnel that Messrs. Schlocker and Bonilla have kept close contact with AEC regulatory staff and have apprised them of work as it has progressed.
Sincerely yours,
/s/ Stewart l
