Figure 5 provides a view of that section of the road using Google Earth, looking towards the <br /> east from the quarry operations area. The pink area is the North Pit. The green area is the <br /> south pit. The yellow line highlights the portion of the road that is susceptible to landslides. <br /> Note the steep slope to the north of the road. <br /> GOOSIC earth <br /> tee+ <br /> Figure 5 Google Earth View of Lower Can}°on Road <br /> A catastrophic landslide within either the North or South Pits of the quarry may cause quarry <br /> material to flow across the segment of Little Turkey Creek road that traverses between the <br /> North and South Pits. Such a slide may endanger motorists driving along Little Turkey <br /> Creek Road and may block the road. Such landslides might be due to quarry blasting, but <br /> might also be due to water seeping into cracks in the remaining rocks within the quarry. <br /> Rocks flying from the blasting area may also travel as far as the road. A catastrophic <br /> landslide within the North Pit Extension may impact the segment of Little Turkey Creek <br /> Road used to access properties in the former Bauer's Ranch. <br /> The black areas highlighted in Figure 6 highlight these sections of Little Turkey Creek Road. <br /> The application indicates that the quarry pits will be at least a 100 feet from Little Turkey <br /> Creek. However, some segments of Little Turkey Creek Road are a significant distance from <br /> the creek, which means that the quarry pits may be less than 100 feet from the road. <br />
