Philadelphia, PA...When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation....

Posted by: thepinetree on 07/04/2019 03:17 PM
Ridgecrest, CA...The July 4th, 2019 Mw 6.4 earthquake in eastern California, southwest of Searles Valley, occurred as the result of shallow strike slip faulting in the crust of the North America plate. Focal mechanism solutions for the earthquake indicate rupture occurred on a steeply dipping fault as the result of either right lateral slip on a plane striking NW-SE, or as left lateral slip on a plane striking SW-NE. The earthquake was located approximately 150 km northeast of San Andreas Fault - the major plate boundary in the region. At this latitude, the Pacific plate is moving to the northwest with respect to the North America plate at a rate of approximately 48 mm/yr. The location of the earthquake falls within the Eastern California shear zone, a region of distributed faulting associated with motion across the Pacific:North America plate boundary, and an area of high seismic hazard. More detailed studies will be required to precisely identify the causative fault associated with this event.

Rancho Calaveras, CA...Update 9 a.m. Tuesday July 2: There has been concern among CCWD customers in Rancho Calaveras that their water supply is contaminated. To address this concern, we would like to remind our customers that this boil water notice was issued out of an abundance of caution following a major leak repair. While it is highly unlikely that anything harmful entered the water supply, the State requires water suppliers to issue boil water notices when water pressure drops below a certain level, and CCWD is complying with this regulation. The notice will be lifted once precautionary testing has been completed for two consecutive days.

San Andreas, CA...In April 2017, Senate Bill 1 (SB 1) was signed, which will invest $52.4 billion dollars over the next decade to fix roads, freeways and bridges in communities across California. The new funding package results in an average annual increase of approximately $2.5 million for Calaveras County and $75 thousand for the City of Angels Camp over the next ten years dedicated to maintenance and rehabilitation projects.
