Oceanview/Lutak Road Movement, January 24

Local geologist Cindy Buxton offers this "improved" image of the affected area:

Cindy will be working with the drilling team to pull samples from the area. Her assistance is invaluable. Thank you Cindy. The drill team awaits a part for the drill, delayed by weather.

The update posted by Emergency Coordinator for January 24 follows below. You can also hear a recording of the daily update by calling 766-2256. An update is generally posted before 4 PM.
Monitoring of daily movement showed a slight increase in the rate we have been seeing, with a 4” crack in the Ocean View Drive road area, that is new from yesterday, and cracks re‐opening in Lutak Road that had been filled by DOT. We are anxious for the engineers and equipment to arrive that will help us collect more accurate data.
Highway driving conditions remain the same, with caution still directed to the hump in Lutak Road that is near the intersection to Front Street. Warning flags were added today to help remind people to slow down, as this hump continues to grow.

The Borough Water & Sewer Department is planning another dye test for tomorrow to continue their monitoring for damage to the line through the slide area.
