There have been multiple earthquakes in the San Ramon area registering 4.0 or lower magnitudes since early last month in the area near the Contra Costa and Alameda county lines. 

The quakes are produced by the Calaveras Fault, where the last earthquake higher than 4.0 was in October 2007, a 5.4-magnitude quake near San Jose, according to the USGS.

There were no reports of any damage or injuries from the latest San Ramon earthquake.
