The testimony is primarily concerned with resources and reservoir assessment and environmental protection technology. Information on KGRAs in California is given. Near-term electrical and non-electrical potential of California's geothermal resource areas is discussed. The present state-of-the-art of geothermal exploration techniques is described. These techniques include resistivity, gravity, seismic refraction and reflection, telluric and magnetotellurics methods, acoustic, magnetic, microseismicity, remote sensing, heat flow measurement, geochemical analysis, self-potential surveys, and geologic investigations Restrictions on development of geothermal resources because of institutional and environmental requirements are discussed. Measures for protection of the environment from hydrogen sulfide emissions, noise, subsidence, geologic and seismic hazards, etc. are described. Procedures currently in use to limit the amount of surface area required for geothermal exporation and development activities are discussed. (JGB)
