Description
On 21 March 2008, a landslide occurred at about mile marker 224 on State Route 87 (SR‐87) (northeast of Iron Dike mountain), in Gila County, causing sufficient damage to require the highway to be closed for six days while cleanup and mitigation efforts were underway. Several other slope failures in the vicinity have occurred since 2005, and most recently during winter 2007‐2008. In accordance with Arizona Revised Statute (ARS) 27‐52, the Arizona Geological Survey (AZGS) began a preliminary reconnaissance of the landslide events on 23 March 2008. The statute directs AZGS to “map, describe, and monitor known and potential geologic hazards and limitations to land and resource management,” and to “provide technical advice and assistance in geology to other state and local governmental agencies engaged in projects in which the geologic setting, character, or mineral resources of the state are involved.” (11 pages)
