<br />Landslide <br />As discussed within the Hazard Identification section, the Planning Team examined the <br />CO-OEM map below, and shared the map with Planning Team participants from the oil <br />and gas industry. <br /> <br /> <br />70 <br /> <br />o <br /> <br />70 <br /> <br />Source: CO-OEM <br /> <br />,,~~,lOil Plpelin~ <br />,"^-"'.INafuraIGasPipehes. <br />~e:; CO~II'Y N~IIll;!!$ <br />D County boundaries <br />EEl Flte (If'rlmeters 2002 <br />o Municipal boundaries. 1991 <br />US l"ndsllde pDlential <br />Dcombo.hi <br />IlO;1I high <br />II!IIIIIII sus.high <br />C]mod <br />8 sus.mod <br />low <br />Dno-da1a <br /> <br />140 Miles <br /> <br />N <br /> <br />W*E <br /> <br />s <br /> <br />The map depicts areas of susvected high and moderate landslide risk within the planning <br />area, but no areas where an actual, documented risk is known. The suspected areas of <br />high and moderate landslide risk generally skirt the depicted oil and gas pipelines <br />identified. The Planning Team could not document there ever having been a landslide <br />within the planning area. The pipeline industry representatives also could not document <br />any historic landslide. <br /> <br />Pipeline representatives explained that the pipelines portrayed on this map are <br />incomplete. There are additional pipelines throughout the planning area, but in keeping <br />with Homeland Security priorities, the Planning Team decided not to update this map for <br />this plan. <br /> <br />Finally, it is noteworthy that the pipeline industry has an extensive monitoring capability <br />of their resources, and would be able to detect any pipeline breach in a timely manner, <br />regardless of the cause of the breach. The planning Team has therefore determined that <br />the landslide risk within the Planning Area is minimal, and has therefore eliminated this <br />hazard from further consideration within this plan. <br /> <br />39 <br />
