PHOTOS: Included are a number of photos and CAD files depicting the quarry and specifically, the area of the quarry that is most important <br />to the technical revision. <br />Photo 1: Pikeview Quarry as it appeared in April of 2008 <br />CAD Drawing 1: Area of the southern scarp with existing scarps indicated by red lines <br />Photo 2: Photo depicting cross section of the quarry for fixture CAD slide <br />CAD Drawing 2: Drawing depicting the cross sections through the original slide that occurred in December of 2008 <br />Photo 3: Photo of the quarry immediately after the 2009 slide <br />Photo 4: Photo with the second slide area depicted by the shaded area south of the original scarp <br />Photo 5: Photo of the quarry face with the location of the monitoring prisms indicated by the numbers and arrows <br />Graph 1: Graph displaying the Height Displacement of the area referenced as the southern scarp <br />Photo 6: Distances to the closest structure, Public Street, private home, community swimming pool and adjacent <br />subdivision <br />Although the above referenced graphics give a general idea of the conditions at the Pikeview Quarry there is not a great deal of detail. The <br />rest of this document will provide that detail. <br />BACKGROUND: After the second slide it became very apparent that the area was not safe to perform investigative work with the current <br />conditions of a continually moving slope. Personnel from Castle Concrete, CTL Thompson and Buckley Powder Company met to determine <br />the "best method" to facilitate removing the hanging material so the geotechnical work could begin. Originally large quantities of water were <br />proposed to be pumped to the top of the quarry in an effort to again saturate the limestone and the slip area beneath the limestone, CAD <br />Drawing 2. However, there is no exact timeline that can be established to determine how long this method might take before failure occurs <br />along with the fact that it is virtually impossible to guarantee the water would end up when it is intended with the large number of fissures in <br />the rock.
