During January 1997, several large landslides closed Highway 50 between Placerville and South Lake Tahoe, California. A number of other landslides are currently active in this corridor. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Eldorado National Forest, has installed monitoring instruments on one currently active landslide that has the potential to affect Highway 50. -- LaHusen, 1999 |
