See it believe it... sea rotational slumping is our landslide on

Do you think it is great to dump more and more soil and grade the toe of a landslide watch this and let me know how you feel about hundred of dumploads put into the middle of this and grading at the far right... up welling from the ocean is taking the toe and rain making the bentonite clay layer slip deep below our homes in our case.  Our surface water, horse pee really it evaporates and does not reach the slip plane.  Filling scarfs will not stop the landslide fellows stop dumping for lies that is for profit and is only increasing the land movement if anything. NO lame excuses.


This is a story in essence that began 15 million years ago as the Earth entered a period of great volcanic activity. Over the next six million years, massive eruptions occurred over much of the earth’s surface. Where ash fell into the ocean it settled to the sea floor and formed layers.
Under pressure and other sediment those layers turned into clay called bentonite. And as the ocean receded and the continent shifted, the seafloor became the land where the bentonite clays now exist between layers of sedimentary rock that make up the California coast.
In areas such as Palos Verdes where the layers are dipping toward the ocean, these bentonite clays are like the icing of a wedding cake getting chipped away from beneath.
