| Title | West Slide Area Three |
| Description | On Jan. 14, 1935 David H. Ryan began work on removing the slide material, and moving the highway and railroad grade some 85 feet westward. He received $86,504.45 for his work on this slide removal. By April 25, 1935 most of the slide material had been removed. Drilling operations had plotted the location and contours of the bedrock so that drainage wells put down by the contractor for the Bureau of Reclamation were able to remove most of the troublesome ground water from this area. It took more than a year to remove the immense landslide that occur in March of 1934. This image shows the final excavation of the west slide area. |
