AUDIENCE COMMENTS: Don Fraser, 26 Peppertree Drive, stated that he wished to
clarify some of his comments at the last meeting: that nobody who lived in the landslide
area was opposed to stopping it; that he did not wish to attack Dr. Ehlig's testimony at
the last meeting; that it is not uncommon for geologists to make wrong guesses; that he
did not feel that the project to stabilize the big rise on Palos Verdes Drive South was
successful; and, that it would behoove the board to have somebody on the peer review
panel that didn't agree with everything Dr. Ehlig said.
Bill Griffin, 5 Gingeroot Lane, inquired about the GPS survey data and requested that
this information be made available to him.
Lois Larue described the condition of the half round pipe in the slide area and said it
was sending water into the landslide.
Charles Abbott stated that his company was not responsible for maintaiing the half
round pipe in the slide area; however, the amount of water that it is sending into the
landslide was, according to Dr. Ehlig, inconsequential.
A brief discussion ensued relative to the design of the half round pipe and the
topographical features of that area and the impracticality of having the pipe stretch
from its source to the ocean because there was nothing to support it. It was mentioned,
however, that plans are underway to put the well discharge water in a smaller pipe so
that the well water is less likely to infiltrate into the slide plane.
ADJOURNMENT: At 9:35 P.M. the meeting adjourned to February 20, 1996.
