In November 1986, the USGS recorded seismic refraction data utilizing shots that were fired as part of a regional seismic refraction/reflection survey being conducted within and offshore of San Luis Obisp County, California, by the Digicon Corporation for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company. The USGS deployed 120 portable seismic recorders along a 98-km-long northwest-southeast profile that extended from about 13 km east of San Simeon to about 10 km east of Santa Maria, California.
