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
