A <br />request of $15,000 from the Governor's Emergency Fund has been forwarded <br />to the Governor. This amount includes a 25 percent match from local <br />governments. These funds would be .used to repair monitoring holes <br />damaged by slide movement over the winter and would provIde biweekly <br />readings until mId-August. Reactiviation of the system would be a joint <br />effort of the Geological Survey and the Highway Department. <br /> <br />The Survey will also complete an investigation into the slIde <br />characterIstIcs for the Highway Oepartment this sUlTUller.
