Elmer Chester Marliave (1910-1967) was an engineering geologist with interest in California water resources development. After
receiving his A. B. from the University of California in 1932, he worked for the California Division of Water Resources from
1935 to 1956, being Chief Engineering Geologist from 1939 on. His work there included studies of dams and reservoirs, tunnels,
power plants, ground water and water quality problms. As a consulting geologist in private practice after 1956 he worked on
similar projects.
The collection, donated by his widow, includes material on most, but not all, projects he worked on between 1956 and 1967.
The bulk of the material deals with work done for the Pacific Gas and Electric Company, especially preliminary geologic investigation
for the Bodega Bay and Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plants.
The arrangement of the collection is basically that used by Marliave. The PG & G material is broken down by project. The rest
is arranged by company and/or project. In most cases the arrangement of papers within the folders has been maintained as he
left it. Longer reports and important documents, however, have been listed individually.
