"According to results from testing performed nearly a year ago by Bakersfield’s Well Analysis Corp., no fluids escaped at depths any shallower than about 2,500 feet underground."
As stated on page 77 in "Names and Definitions of Geologic Units of California", Issues 825 - 830; U. S. Geological Survey Professional Paper, 1904:
"Named for exposures in Santa Margarita at San Luis Obispo County", the Santa Margarita Formation is "upper Miocene" in age, and composed of "alternating beds of conglomerate and soft sand stone, with several strata of diatomaceous earth and pumice."
