  Santa Paula Times: Small quake rattles area between SP, Ojai
Oddly enough the Santa Paula-Ojai shaker was the lone activity, unlike Parkfield struck with a teeth-rattling 6.0 magnitude earthquake on Sept. 28 at 10:15 a.m.
The Santa Paula-Ojai earthquake was a deep one, with the epicenter 17.1 miles below the earth’s surface at a latitude of 34.46 degrees, longitude of 119.116W, pretty much dead center in San Cayetano country.
The Santa Clara River Valley is borrowed by two massive fault systems with the Oak Ridge fault traveling through the valley just south of the river.

The division between the Santa Ynez and Topatopa Mountains is arbitrary, since the Santa Ynez fault, and the characteristic sedimentary thicknesses and structures north and south of the fault seen in the Santa Ynez Mountains are continued into the Topatopa Mountains; the Santa Ynez fault dies out eastward north-northeast of Fillmore.
The Santa Susana Mountains lie largely south of the Santa Clara River and the Santa Ynez Uplift, although east of Piru, rocks underlying the range extend north of the river, disappearing beneath the San Cayetano thrust.
The rocks underlying the Santa Susana Mountains are largely Miocene and younger, and are exposed in an anticlinal structure that forms the crest of the range.

 GIS Application for Liquefaction Hazard Mapping, Ventura County, California
Extensive property damage within Simi Valley and communities along the Santa Clara River resulting from the 1994 Northridge earthquake, caused in part by local ground failures and lateral spreading, showed that liquefaction poses a significant region-wide hazard within the County.
Extensive young gravel, sand, and silt deposits in the Oxnard Plain and along the Santa Clara River, shallow groundwater, and the presence of nearby potentially active faults, indicate that parts of Ventura County are particularly susceptible to liquefaction-related hazards.
During the Northridge earthquake, liquefaction occurred at the mouth of the Santa Clara River in Oxnard/Ventura, in Simi Valley, and along the Santa Clara River between Fillmore and Newhall (Barrows et al., 1995).

 The Trail to Kashtiq.
This conclusion drawn by Beeler and Klar is based in part on the fact that a modern place-name of undisputed Chumash origin, Castaic, exists in the upper Santa Clara River valley right in the center of territory previously believed to have belonged to the Tataviam (Beeler and Klar 1977:303).
Santa Barbara Canyon, a tributary of the Cuyama River, was so named because it provided an important corridor in historic times (and prehistoric) through the mountains to Santa Barbara (Gifford and Schenck 1926:16; Smith 1973; Cook 1962:156; Spaulding 1966:11).
Thus, the existence of the name Castaic in the upper Santa Clara River Valley does not justify assigning this territory to the Chumash.
