The four reservoirs and the largest triggered earthquake associated with each one are: Lake Mendocino in Mendocino County, M 5.2 (see CALIFORNIA GEOLOGY, December 1978, p. 275-281): Lake Crowley in Mono County, M 6.0 (see CDMG Special Report 150, p. 92-94): Lake Oroville in Butte County, M 5.7 (see CALIFORNIA GEOLOGY. June 1982, p. 115-118); and Lake Shasta in Shasta County. M < 3.
