Number of Bench marks: 5
Number of Surveys to 2000: 8
Date of Initial Survey: 11 August 1970
Date of Latest Survey: 30 August 1982
Trespass Permission: None needed
Directions:
From Highway 101 in Santa Barbara, exit at the Mission offramp and go south.
Turn right on Chino Street, which is on the right three blocks below the
freeway; Lorinda Way branches right off of Chino. Bench mark LW1 is at the
intersection of Chino and Mis sion, and the line extends along Chino, Lorinda,
and Tinker Way.
Comments:
This short line was established to search for vertical displacement across
the Mesa fault which is inferred to pass through this residential area. Residents
reported new sags in t he street in 1968 following a series of earthquakes
in the Santa Barbara area. A brief driveby on 16 February 1991 revealed bench
mark LW2 had been destroyed. Bench marks 700 and LW1 were not noticed but
may still exist; the others were still in place.
Results:
As of 1982, we were unable to detect any vertical height changes among any
of the bench marks.
