PG&E Revises Seismic Testing Proposal Near Diablo Canyon

Posted: Updated:

AVILA BEACH, Calif. -- PG&E announced it will submit a revised proposal to conduct limited research in late November through December.

The survey called for by the state will make sure the technology selected for the seismic research is appropriate and ensure the marine life monitoring and protection measures are effective.

"We understand that members of the San Luis Obispo community and other stakeholders have concerns about the high-energy seismic survey called for by the state and proposed by PG&E to begin this November," said Jearl Strickland, PG&E's Director of Nuclear Projects.
 
"We also understand people are concerned about the seismic nature of our region and they want to see this research performed."
 
The survey is expected to last approximately 12 days and will focus on studying portions of the Hosgri, Los Osos and Shoreline fault zones in the region of Estero Bay.
