2.3 Blockage of Road by Landslides Caused by Quarry Operations <br /> One segment of the ingress/egress road within the lower canyon below the proposed quarry <br /> operations area,runs directly beneath a hillside that has very unstable material. Rocks are <br /> frequently dislodged from the hillside during heavy rains and tumble down onto the road. In <br /> the past,rocks as large as a VW bug slid down that hill, blocking the entire road. That <br /> hillside is only a few hundred feet southeast of the proposed North Pit. Blasting operations <br /> or other quarry activity may further destabilize that hillside, causing more frequent or more <br /> severe landslides on that section of the road. The landslides may injure passing motorists or <br /> damage their vehicles and may block that portion of the road. The black area highlighted in <br /> Figure 4 highlights this section of the road. <br /> aJ <br /> NlG Gtl <br /> f a{may <br /> pe <br /> t <br /> 141, <br /> Figure 4 Area of Road in Lower Canyon Prone to Landslides <br />
