Description:
This report presents the results of geothermal resources investigations
conducted in the Sonoma Valley area of California by the California Department
of Conservation's Division of Mines and Geology. Included are the results
from separate studies performed in two preceding years, of the southern and
central Sonoma Valley area (1981-82) and the northern Sonoma Valley area
(1982-83); also included are the results of a shallow temperature drilling
program and general "wrap up" assessment of the resource conducted in
1983-84. The study was undertaken to learn more about the known
low-temperature (20° - 90°C) geothermal resource in this area and to assess
the potential of the resource for development and use by the local community.
