Causes of Induced Earthquakes
• Geothermal Plants
• Oil Fields• Los Angeles Basin• Southern San Joaquin
Valley
• Hydro Dams
• Biosolids Management?

SB4: 3160. Section 2, adding Article 3, Well Stimulation
• Jason Marshall, chief deputy director of the state Department of Conservation, said the regulations will now require well operators to conduct real-time monitoring of the California Integrated Seismic Network while well-stimulation activity is taking place, as well as for 10 days afterward. If an earthquake of 2.0 magnitude or greater occurs during that time, the well stimulation activity must stop, and further activity at that site would not be permitted until an analysis is conducted to determine whether the drilling activity may have contributed to triggering the earthquake.

Conclusions
• Why use CISN?• Has in place infrastructure• Has calibrated magnitude scale• Has expertise for data processing
• Need for a new CSIN detection capability study
• Where CISN needs improved detection:• South Central Valley• Ventura & Santa Barbara Channel• Santa Maria Basin
