the granddaddy of all of these is the san andreas fault. it is the longest. it can generate the greatest earthquakes. >> it is just south of san francisco. it goes offshore down here. >> from my house to the fault is about 3 miles on average. >> the closest area in san francisco to the fault is this area here in the southwest part of the city. people said that the closer you are, there are conditions that exacerbate issues. >> the fault's effect on development depends on the fault type and soil component. the san andreas is the main fault. there is the hayward fault. the difference between the two is that the san andreas is predominantly offshore. the hayward fault actually crosses beneath populated areas and poses a larger threat. as we speak, there is a 67% probability of a major earthquake on one of these faults in the next 30 years. it is of major -- high probability. it is a magnitude 6.5. the 1906 was 7.9. the 1957 earthquake was 5.7 on the san andreas. the loma prieta was 7.1. it was so far with it we got a little effects of it. that is the overview of

this is closest to the san andreas fault. many people believe that the closer you are to default, the greater the ground motion might be. that is a portion that is a south westerly portion of san francisco that has some special earthquake hazards. we are here to talk about the geology of this area. why don't you tell us about what is going on? >> there is a giant step here at the edge of the escarpment, the edge of the landslide. all the land to the west of us is part of a landslide that is upwards of 200 feet deep. it goes underneath the ocean. it causes damage and it was mapped by the earliest geologists'. there are many kinds of rocks here. there is a big sequence of merced formation. this is a base in deposit that was formed by the interaction at the end of the continental margin. >> this is just on top. this is the same material that we were looking at at the last site. you can see it is on our way to the last side. it is deposited here by wind. it is 40-50 feet thick. this acts as a big sponge. the water flows through a

with the protection of our century as pipeline no. 3 which runs through the development site -- san andreas pipeline number three. the public can obtain a copy from the table. 1 is to modify the proposed relocation of the pipeline as part of the project. been there is the change that follows the staff report -- then there is to change that follows the staff report, that makes it clear the relocation will take place using the plans and the relocation, and we are very comfortable with the language at this point in time. i wanted to make sure you understand there is one change, one modification. president vietor: before we take public comment, is there a motion to adopt the amended resolution? >> so moved. >> second. president vietor: do we have public comment on this item? >> public comment on the amendment. president vietor: sorry, on the amended item. so, if there is no comment on the and then men, all those in favor? opposed? -- if there is no comment on the amendment, all those in favor? opposed? public comment on the amendment in motion. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i run the san fr

signals he is talking about are electromagnetic and are what brings us here less than a mile from the san andreas fault. they are installing a monitoring station. it is one of more than 60 quake finder has installed along california's major fault lines. the theory behind it all is that when rock along the fault are stressed to the breaking point, electromagnetic energy is released. >> it is essentially a large electrical current that is generated. you can almost think of it as underground lightning in a sense. >> reporter: not only does he think you can detect such a thichblg he believes he already has. >> in 2007 -- >> reporter: the quake finder happened to have a monitoring station within a few mile of the epicenter of that 5.6 quake in the hills east of san jose. afterward, he and his team analyzed the data their instruments had recorded and found what looked to them like a pattern of pulses in the earth's magnetic field. there were other measurable change detected as well. and since 2007, he says, stations set up in south america have registered similar patterns before four other earthquakes.

about are electromagnetic and are what bring us to the san mateo hilltop less than a pile from the san andreasault. bleier and his team are installing a monitoring station, outfitted with magneto meters. it is one of 60 quake finder has installed along california's major fault lines. the theory behind it all is when rocks along the fault are stressed to the breaking point, electromagnetic energy is released. >> it's essentially a large electrical current that's generated. you can almost think of it as underground lightning in a sense. >> reporter: and not only does bleier think you can detect such a thing, he believes he already has. >> allen rock in 2007. >> reporter: quake finder just happened to have a monitoring station within a few miles of the epicenter of the quake in the hills east of san jose. afterward he and his team analyzed the data his instruments had recorded and found what looked to them like a pattern of pulses in the earth's magnetic field. >> we looked two years before the earthquake. most of the time we'd see two to three pulses per day. the fault was slowly grinding, snapp

paul henderson a former prosecutor in san francisco and andrea lyon who was casey anthony's lead attorneysey's defense team. >> yes. >> you think she's innocent. why? >> well, because i believe that she didn't commit the crime based on some things that i'm still obligated not to talk about. but also because there is no real proof that there was even a murder at all. >> andrea, let me ask you, though, we have seen just a litany of lies that casey anthony has told. >> that's right. >> and being a liar does not make you a murderer. and i'm not equating it. but it certainly goes to her credibility. >> absolutely. >> it absolutely does. >> and now as the defense is taking over, what do they have to do? what do you think the defense -- i mean are they now going to be hitting this -- i assume we're going to be trying to bolster their argument that she is an abused -- that she's a victim herself of past childhood abuse? >> well, that is what the opening statement said. and of course, i'm not in the defense team anymore and i'm not privy to what they intend to prove or how they intend to prove it.

i spoke about it earlier with former prosecutor paul henderson of san francisco and andrea lyon a lawanthony's defense attorney. >> george anthony denying an affair with the volunteer and that he said caylee's death was an accident that snow bald out of control. how do i think it play today? >> i think this is more of a distraction. the defense is trying to get in all of the side issues to distract the jury from focusing on the real central issue which is how did this child die and who was responsible for it. and so to me, the facts that are the aleutian allusions to the father having an affair or how the search took place is a distraction to the issues in the case the i'm not as concerned with it. >> andrea, clearly the defense is trying to bring up everything they can possibly think of, which i guess is their job. but does it make them look kind of scattered? >> well, you have to remember that george anthony said to this woman that it was an accident. and that is the -- >> he denies it though. >> of course he denied it. but she confirmed it. i mean, you know, he's going to deny it n

i spoke about it with former prosecutor paul henderson in san francisco and andrea lyon a law professorey anthony's previous defense attorney. >> paul, george anthony on the stand today denying an affair with the volunteer, denying caylee's death was an accident that snowballed out of control. coming down to a he said she said situation here. how do i think it played today? >> i think this is more of a distraction. and the defense is trying to get in all of this side issues to distract the jury from focusing on the real central issue, which is how did this child die and who was responsible for it. and so to me, the facts that are the allusions of the father maybe having an affair or wandering around or who he was involved with in terms of how the search took place to me is a real distraction from the ultimate issue in the case. i'm just not as concerned with it. >> andrea, clearly the defense is trying to bring up everything they can possibly think of -- >> sure. >> -- which i guess is their job. but does it make them look kind of scattered? >> well, you have to remember that george ant
