2009 UGS Activities, Springhill Landslide

(through June 30, 2009)

UGS Monitoring of the Landslide
In the hot dry summer period, the
UGS will monitor landslide conditions
less frequently, due to the anticipated
very slow movement during this period.
The UGS will likely begin more frequent
monitoring in the fall, particularly if wet
weather returns.
