This CD contains a 31-page report and two accompanying plates detailing
the results of geologic and geophysical investigations of the Meadow
Creek landslide in western Kane County, Utah, between October 2005 and
June 2007. The roughly 1.7 miles wide by 1.3 miles long Meadow Creek
landslide is part of the Coal Hill landslide complex just east of Zion
National Park. Recurrent movement of the Meadow Creek landslide affects
State Route 9, which provides the only highway access to the east
entrance to Zion National Park. This report presents the results of our
investigation that includes detailed mapping of landslide features and
individual historical landslides within the complex; landslide geometry,
including depths from geophysical testing; a road damage inventory;
movement amounts and rates from survey-grade GPS monitoring; and
distress- and movement-based relative hazard zonation of State Route 9
and the Meadow Creek landslide. The results of this study provide a
better understanding of the landslide and its relation to highway
distress and aid in assessing the feasibility of mitigation options and
predicting future damage.
