Further movement of the Eaglepointe landslide in Utah<\/h5>\n

Over the last few days further movement has been recorded on the Eaglepointe landslide in North Salt Lake, Utah.\u00a0 This is the second period of reactivation this year.\u00a0 KSL notes the following<\/a>:<\/p>\n

North Salt Lake city leaders and homeowners are once again concerned a landslide after a portion of a hillside shifted late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.\u00a0 \u201cYou see it. You see the slough, you see the fall off, and it\u2019s just scary,\u201d North Salt Lake resident Terry Rasch said. He lives a few houses up and couldn\u2019t believe it when he woke up Tuesday and saw his neighbor shoveling mud, and then he noticed why. A large chuck of land slid down a few feet, closer and closer to his neighbor\u2019s home.\u00a0 City workers put hay bales and sandbags into place to try to keep any more movement and mud from flowing into the house below. This is the same area where a home at 739 Parkway Drive was destroyed in a substantial slide on Aug. 5, 2014.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is the landslide about which I posted about back in 2014<\/a>.\u00a0 KSL also has a nice gallery of images of the landslide<\/a>, including this one:<\/p>\n

There is also a good repository of reports into the site, including assessments of the location prior to the first failure, on a webpage hosted by the City of North Salt Lake<\/a>.\u00a0 It appears from the news reports that further movement is expected at this site in response to precipitation events.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
