Atomic Energy Commission - Washington, D. C. " Subject: REPORT ON BODEGA BAY AT01EC PARK - UNIT NO.1 Dear Dr. Seaborg: 4 5 At its fifty-fifth meeting'on May 7-9,1%4 at Argonne, Illinois, and at its fifty-eighth meeting on October 7-10,1%4, the Advisory Com- , mittee on Reactor Safeguards again considered the proposal of Pacific Gas & Electric Company to construct and operate a 10081&(t) boiling water reactor on Bodega Head north of San Francisco, California. The 2l Co=nittee had the benefit of oral discussion with representatives of j the applicant and its consultants, with the AEC Regulat6ry Staff and 1 its consultants,' including staff members of the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey (USC&GS) and - of the reports cited below. Subcommittee meetings were held July 31, 1%2 and March 20,1%3 and members of the Co=aittee agaib visited : the excavated site on June 3,1%4. Numerous information meetings ' vere held with the applicant, the AEC Regulat'ory Staff, and with ' consultants. ; This proposal had been considered at the Co'emitteeI a forty-seventh , toerting and reported on in its letter of April 18,1%3 which stated: i * 'j " Tentative exploration indicates that the reactor and turbine buildings vill not be located on an active fault line. The Committee believes that if this point ; is established, the design criteria for the plant are adequate from the standpoint of hazards associated with baithquakes. Careful examination of the quartz-diorite iock below should be made during building excavation, to O confinn this point. Furthermore, the Committee suggests , that, during design, careful attention should be given .I bd the ability of emergency shutdown systems to operate ' ''I - properly during and subsequent to violent earth shocks, j and to the stress effects that might be introduced because ! the reactor building and the turbine building are to be ! anchored in different geological formations. The need for earthquake-induced shutdown and isolation of the primary system can be considered at a later time." ,, t t . ' J 970924'0002 851217 . - !

The exploration suggested in the above comment has been completed, - and the geologic features discovered have led to further structural - considerations in the desigd. These geologic features include frac- tures in the underlying rock. One has been identified as the so- ca n ed "chaft fault". The character, extent, and age of the most , | recent activity of this fracture are controversial. Nevertheless, , the applicant has considered its significance in the proposed struc- | ,tural protection. , ; Proximity of the site to the San Andreas fault' system has been given j caretyl consideration. he Cocmittee has been advised by ceveral ! consultants that, during the life of the proposed reactor; there'is * a high probability that the reactor site vin experience at least one major earth shock. Bere is associated with such an earthquake & a remote possibility that the, plant will be subjected to the effect . of a shearing motion in the rock on which it would be built. The , ,q g , | 7p* USGS and USC&GS have proposed values for the intensity and accompany- " ing earth motions, including shear, which could be anticipated during the vormt earthquake. Determination of these values has been hampered 3 i by lack of authoritati've historical records and reliable measurements. l | The applicant and his consultants believe that lover values are more , realistic. The Committee considers that the USciGS and USGS values | are conservative. j i ! The applicant has proposed methods for mechanical and structural i design to meet the predicted seismic occurrences. The applicant also . has proposed to design the building to withstand up to three feet of j j shear displacec:ent along any plane at the site. S e Committee believes j that.the engineering principles and general design proposed to incorpo- i rate them are sound. These considerations afford that degree 'of assur- ! ance required for protection of the reactor in the unlikely event of the i . predicted maximum earthquake. a The USC&GS has recommended a design height for tsunami run-up at Bodega j Head. The applicant stated that the facility design and safeguard pro- cedures vin be such the plant would withstand such a tsunami safely. ' | | The Committee is of the opinion that the applicant's design objectives ' may be accomplished within the scope of present engineering knowledge. 1 -Many details of .the proposed design have not 'yet been completed. It 9 is understood that the applicant win continue to give careful attention to the following items during design and construction: limitations on j the. maximum reactivity of individual control rods; provisions to accommo-' ~ .; date possible seismic earth movements and shear displacement; consideration. 4g m . w ;;. w eg w s h e g h y w s w g . m p m e g u ., _ m.m.-cd _ . , , . , . _ _ . - .. ..

  • Bodega Bay Field Trip Guide
    ESP/ERS 30 World Ecosystem and Geography Davis-Bodega Bay Sacramento Valley - Coastal Ranges & Valleys - Coastline Introduction This trip follows a westward transect from Davis across the low coastal mountain ranges to the coast. A. Plant Communities 1. Central Valley Grassland (now primarily agricultural fields and orchards) 2. Oak Savannas and Oak Woodlands 3. Chaparral and a chaparral variant with Gray Pine 4. A variety of Riparian habitats 5. Mixed Evergreen Forest 6. Redwood Forest 7. North Coastal Scrub and Prairie 8. Coastal Beach, Marsh, and Tidal Communities B. Environmental Factors Climatic zones you will encounter include the somewhat “continental” climate of the Sacramento Valley, characterized by cool, wet winters with frequent winter fog (a result of cold air subsidence off the Sierras and entrapment in the Valley by the Coast Ranges), and long, dry, hot summers. Even more continental climates are characteristic of regions much further inland, e.g., Ohio. Really extreme continental climates occur in Central Asia and Siberia. Continental climates are so called because as you move inland away from the ocean, the moderating effect of the ocean on temperature leads to more extremes inland. The Coast Ranges are characterized by somewhat less extreme, but still highly variable, conditions of temperature and precipitation as they are in a zone of transition between the more Continental climate of the Valley and the highly Maritime climate of the Coast. The climate along the Coast is dominated by the cool waters of the Pacific Ocean and the California Current which flows south along this part of our coast. The ocean acts as a buffer and greatly reduces the extremes in temperature characteristic of the Sacramento Valley but also increases the amount of moisture in the air, increasing relative humidity.

Box 756808, Fairbanks, AK 99775-6808; [email protected] ABSTRACT For nearly thirty years (1812–1841) the Russian-American Company maintained an outpost, Ross, in northern California. During that time, a number of the company’s Alaska Native, Creole, and Rus- sian personnel formed unions with California Native women and fathered children by them. With no priest in residence and priestly visits rare, most of the unions were sanctified by marriage only retro- actively, if at all. This paper traces the evolution of Russian-American Company policy toward such unions and the children born of them, as well as the fate of some of the families who braved the trip north and made Russian Alaska their home.

    North Coast Hydrologic Region California’s Groundwater Bodega Bay Area Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118 Bodega Bay Area Groundwater Basin • Groundwater Basin Number: 1-57 • County: Sonoma • Surface Area: 2,680 acres Basin Boundaries and Hydrology Bodega Bay lies along the Sonoma County coastline about 55 miles north of San Francisco. The Bodega Bay Area extends approximately 4 miles along the mainland from the area of Salmon Creek to the north to below Cheney Gulch on the south. This area extends inland up to about 1 mile from Bodega Harbor. The area is comprised of the mainland on the east side, Bodega Harbor and Doran Beach, Bodega Head, and the Bodega Tombolo (a sand bar/dune area which connects Bodega Head with the mainland). The Bodega Bay Area Groundwater Basin is defined by the areal extent of Quaternary alluvium, sand dunes, and terrace deposits, but also contains some Cretaceous granitic rocks exposed on Bodega Head. On the mainland side, the groundwater basin is bounded by bedrock of the Franciscan Complex. This basin is bounded on the north by the Fort Ross Terrace Area Groundwater Basin near Salmon Creek. The San Andreas Fault Rift Zone trends northwest through the area of Bodega Bay and Bodega Harbor (Wagner 1982). No major rivers transect the basin; however, Salmon Creek bounds the basin on the north and Cheney Gulch discharges into Bodega Harbor on the south. Annual precipitation in the Bodega Bay Area ranges from approximately 28 inches at Bodega Head to 36 inches on the eastern (inland) side of the basin. Hydrogeologic Information Water Bearing Formations The water-bearing units of primary significance in the Bodega Bay Area include Recent Alluvium in Salmon Creek, Sand Dune Deposits of the Bodega tombolo, and marine terrace deposits.

  • Northern California Coast Southern Focus Area
    15.1 Description of Area 15.1.1 The Land The Northern California Coast-Southern Fours Area is composed of Mendocino, Sonoma, and Marin counties, excluding watersheds that drain into San Francisco Bay (Figure 14). This region of the northern California coast contains three areas with substantial wetland habitats: the coastal wetlands, the interior valleys of the Eel River system, and the interior valleys of the Russian River system. Securement and enhancement of these wetlands will provide nesting, staging, and winter habitat for a variety of waterfowl and many wetland-dependent species. Threatened and endangered species are also present in each of the 15.0 three areas. Limited state and federal protection exists in the form of managed wildlife areas, pants, national seashores or refuges. Wetland enhancement and, in some cases, restoration activities implemented after acquisition will improve NORTHERN and. expand existing wetland habitats. The northern part of the focus area is bounded on the CALIFORNIA east approximately by the dividing ridge between the Eel River and the Sacramento River watersheds. Further south it follows the divide between the water COAST─ sheds of the Russian and Sacramento rivers. Two almost parallel ranges of the Coast Mountain Ranges extend through most of this focus area. The range on SOUTHERN the east is a continuation of the Mayacamas Mountains. In this range, near Potter Valley, rise the two largest rivers of this area: the Eel and Russian rivers. The Eel River flows northward and enters the Pacific Ocean FOCUS AREA just south of Humboldt Bay. The Russian River flows south and then west to empty into the ocean north of Bodega Head.

  • JETTIES at BODEGA HARBOR Orville T. Magoon1, Donald D. Treadwell2, and Paul S. Atwood3 Bodega Harbor, a Lagoon Connected to Bode
    JETTIES AT BODEGA HARBOR Orville T. Magoon1, Donald D. Treadwell2, and Paul S. Atwood3 To create and maintain a navigable entrance for small craft between the Pacific Ocean and the natural lagoon now referred to as Bodega Harbor, the construction of two rubble-mound jetties and the associated dredging of interior channels were authorized by the United States Congress in the late 1930s. The jetties were built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in the early 1940s. Elements of the planning, design, construction, monitoring, and maintenance of the jetties are discussed herein. Keywords: rubble-mound jetties; long-term performance; monitoring; maintenance; Bodega Bay; Bodega Harbor INTRODUCTION Bodega Harbor, a lagoon connected to Bodega Bay and the Pacific Ocean, is located on the California coast of the United States about 50 miles north of San Francisco. The Pacific Ocean areas offshore of Bodega Bay are excellent for both commercial and recreational fishing. However, the natural unimproved entrance to Bodega Harbor, both shallow and unstable, was very difficult to navigate safely. The project undertaken in the early 1940s by the United States government to improve the situation included two entrance channel jetties, a bulkhead to help retain the natural sandspit, and dredging of interior channels and turning basins. Figure 1 is an aerial view of the jetties, the sandspit, a portion of the dredged channels, and the seaward (western) end of the peninsula known as Bodega Head. Figure 1.
