Abstract Geothermal development in the Lake County area of the Geysers was initially characterized by protracted environmental conflicts. Since that time, increase financial and staff resources and an improved regulatory program have assisted local efforts to plan for, permit, and monitor geothermal activities. Currently, most geothermal conflicts have been reduced to acceptable levels.
