“…This thrusting moved younger rocks westward over older rocks after Paleocene time. Similar thrust relations apparently also occur in the northern Coast Ranges about 75 mi to the north of Clear Lake (Clark, 1940;Swe and Dickinson, 1970). There a large klippe (3X7 mi) of Late Cretaceous, Paleocene, and middle Eocene strata rests on the Jurassic (?)…”

“…Whether the chloride content is contributed by the surrounding Great Valley sequence rocks (Swe and Dickinson, 1970) or whether both the bicarbonate and the chloride are from the presumably underlying Franciscan rocks is not known. The steam condensates from the McKinley steam wells and water from the Anderson and Castle Rock Springs are entirely from Franciscan rocks and have anomalously high bicarbonate for local meteoric water from Franciscan rocks.…”

“…Jennings (1975, p. 38) shows diagonal folds between the Rinconada and San Andreas faults near San Lucas at latitude 36.1 deg. N. Northwest-trending folds at The Geysers (McLaughlin, 1981) and near Lower Lake (Brice, 1953;Swe and Dickinson, 1970;and Wagner and Bortugno, 1982) may be assigned to this neotectonic regime.…”

Geological, topographic, and seismic methods were used to locate faults in the vicinity of Clearlake in northern California. The geological method, which seeks faults as discontinuities in the lithotope, found faults in the Tertiary-Cretaceous rocks east of Burns Valley. The topographic method, which is used to produce Fault Evaluation Reports, found a very active fault zone, the Konocti Bay fault zone, south of Highlands arm. It also found some active faults north of Highlands arm, in the eastern part of Burns Valley and on the lakeshore near Oak Park. The seismic method is the most enduring of the three methods but is limited by location accuracy; the results improve as monitoring continues because of increases in the density of events and improvements in the crustal velocity model. The seismic method identified faulting along the valley at Borax Lake and possibly also on a line running northeast from the city of Clearlake. The latter may be associated with the Burns Valley fault or with the line of scoria domes which runs parallel to it. Seismic observations over longer periods at higher resolution will be required in order to determine the location of active faults near the city.
