  • United States Department of the Interior Geological Survey Geologic Map of the Las Positas, Greenville, and Verona Faults, Easte
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR GEOLOGICAL SURVEY GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE LAS POSITAS, GREENVILLE, AND VERONA FAULTS, EASTERN ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA By DARRELL G, HERD Open-file report 77-689 INTRODUCTION Livermore Valley, a large east-trending valley in eastern Alameda County, California, approximately 50 kn east of San Francisco, is unique in the central Coast Ranges, where all other major valleys trend northwest* Bounded on the west and east by two major right-lateral strike-slip fault zones the Calaveras-Sunol and the Greenville, Liverraore Valley was originally believed to be crossed by other northwest-trending faults, inferred from ground-water level differences and geophysical anomalies (California Dept. Water Resources, 1963, 1966, 1974; Wight, 1974). Recent mapping in Liverraore Valley and surrounding areas (Herd, 1975) has revealed the existence of the Las Positas fault zone, a high-angle, northeast- trending fault zone that forms the southern limit of the valley and extends from La Costa Valley, east of the Calaveras-Sunol fault zone, northeastward to the Greenville fault zone. The Las Positas fault zone is the first reported northeast-trending fault zone in the central Coast Ranges of California with a history of Quaternary movement. Purpose of map This map depicts the geologic setting of the Las Positas and Greenville fault zones, which bound Livermore Valley on the south and east, and the Verona fault, which lies southwest of Liverraore Valley. The map presents a new interpretation of the geology of Livermore Valley and adjoining areas, and contains new subdivisions of the Quaternary stratigraphy. The recency and recurrence of displacements along the three faults is assessed and an interpretation of the tectonic setting of Livermore Valley proposed.

  • MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION for the Tesla Road
    Draft INITIAL STUDY/ MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION for the Tesla Road Winery ALAMEDA COUNTY CALIFORNIA Prepared for: Alameda County CDA Planning Division Prepared by: Denise Duffy & Associates Contact: Denise Duffy 947 Cass St. Suite 5 Monterey, California 93940 July 31, 2015 This page left intentionally blank. MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION Project: Tesla Road Winery Lead Agency: Alameda County PROJECT DESCRIPTION This Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), supported by the attached Initial Study (IS), evaluates the environmental effects of a proposed multi‐use wine facility at the northeast corner of the Greenville Road and Tesla Road intersection outside of Livermore, within unincorporated Alameda County, California. The applicant, RAO Company, is proposing the construction of a new 19,944 square foot (sq. ft.) building on the the property. The building’s primary function would be to provide space for wine tasting, tours, and special events, and administrative offices for employees. The building would provide a dedicated space to process wine, serve customers, and hold events. Alameda County is the lead agency for this project and has prepared this MND. FINDINGS An IS has been prepared to assess the projects potential effects on the environment and the significance of those effects. Based on the Initial Study, it has been determined that the proposed project would not have any significant effects on the environment once mitigation measures are implemented. This conclusion is supported by the following findings: 1. The proposed project would have no impact related to greenhouse gas emissions, aesthetics, agricultural resources, hazards/hazardous materials, land use/planning mineral resources, population/housing, public services, and recreation.

  • Livermore Valley Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118
    San Francisco Hydrologic Region California’s Groundwater Livermore Valley Groundwater Basin Bulletin 118 Livermore Valley Groundwater Basin • Groundwater Basin Number: 2-10 • Counties: Alameda and Contra Costa • Surface Area: 69,600 acres (109 square miles) Basin Boundaries and Hydrology The Livermore Valley lies about 40 miles east of San Francisco and 30 miles southwest of Stockton within a structural trough of the Diablo Range. The groundwater basin extends from the Pleasonton Ridge east to the Altamont Hills (about 14 miles) and from the Livermore Upland north to the Orinda Upland (about 3 miles). Surface drainage features include Arroyo Valle, Arroyo Mocho, and Arroyo las Positas as principal streams, with Alamo Creek, South San Ramon Creek, and Tassajara Creek as minor streams. All streams converge on the west side of the basin to form Arroyo de la Laguna, which flows south and joins Alameda Creek in Sunol Valley. Some geologic structures restrict the lateral movement of groundwater, but the general groundwater gradient is to the west, then south towards Arroyo de la Laguna. Elevations within the basin range from about 600 ft in the east, near the Altamont Hills, to about 280 ft in the southwest, where Arroyo de la Laguna flows into Sunol Groundwater Basin. Average annual precipitation ranges from 16 inches on the valley floor to more than 20 inches along the southeast and northwest basin margins. Hydrogeologic Information Water Bearing Formations The entire floor of Livermore Valley and portions of the upland areas on all sides of the valley overly groundwater-bearing materials. The materials are continental deposits from alluvial fans, outwash plains, and lakes.
