Geologic and Seismic Investigations of Proposed Nuclear Power Plant Site on Bodega Head, Sonoma County, California

The following report covers the study of the site adjacent to Campbell Cove on Bodega Head, Sonoma County, California, focusing on questions such as: 1) its position relative to the San Andreas fault zone; 2) the possibility that minor faults, related to the San Andreas fault, might actually pass through the site; and 3) the seismic hazards posed by the nearby San Andreas fault zone.

Geothermal Environmental Impact Assessment: Baseline Data for Four Geothermal Areas in the United States

From Abstract: The report presents a compilation and technical assessment of the existing data on climate, geology, hydrology, water chemistry, and seismicity for four geothermal areas in the United States: Imperial Valley and The Geysers, California; Klamath Falls, Oregon; and the Rio Grande Rift Zone, New Mexico.

Final Report: Natural State Models of The Geysers Geothermal System, Sonoma County, California

Final project report of natural state modeling effort for The Geysers geothermal field, California. Initial models examined the liquid-dominated state of the system, based on geologic constraints and calibrated to match observed whole rock delta-O18 isotope alteration. These models demonstrated that the early system was of generally low permeability (around 10{sup -12} m{sup 2}), with good hydraulic connectivity at depth (along the intrusive contact) and an intact caprock. Later effort in the project was directed at development of a two-phase, supercritical flow simulation package (EOS1sc) to accompany the Tough2 flow simulator. Geysers models made using this package show that ''simmering'', or the transient migration of vapor bubbles through the hydrothermal system, is the dominant transition state as the system progresses to vapor-dominated. Such a system is highly variable in space and time, making the rock record more difficult to interpret, since pressure-temperature indicators likely reflect only local, short duration conditions.
