What to investigate in: 1. Document your observations with sketches, verbal descriptions, pictures, locations, etc. 2. A map of the landslide (must include title, scale, author, date created, reference to sources of information on the map, legend, map the landslide in relation to the river and the community) 3. A 2-3 page report on your investigation (short, times new Roman, 12 fonts, 1 spacing). The summary shall include the parts below: a. Executive summary: a 1-2 paragraph statement which describes the purpose, location, and findings of your investigation, and a recommendation of a plan of action. b. A section describing your observations. You should give a description of the geologic setting [bedrock and soils), the hydrologic setting, and the setting of the landscape. Your report should be able to answer atleast the following questions: What cultural and natural features exist in the area? IF What is the cause of the landslide? Is there a thick section of unconsolidated sediments underlying the landslide? Is groundwater playing a role in destabilizing the landslide ? How long has the landslide happened? Is this landslide likely to be creeping, or when it moves, is it more likely to be catastrophic? Does the landslide threaten the community? [include how many deaths, injured, etc.) Is there any evidence of ground deformation in the road pavement [tension cracks, etc)? Is the river playing a role in destabilizing the landside? c. Recommendation based on your findings. This recommendation should be framed as to whether the landslide requires mitigation or not. Here, you summarise your observations in support of your recommendation 4. Don't forget to write down all the references you have.
