Abstract
Beginning at about 15:30 on June 20, 1993, a sensitive clay flow occurred near the former townsite of Lemieux, Ontario. The failure involved 2.5 to 3.5 Mm3 of sand, silt, and clay which flowed into South Nation Valley, inundating 3.3 km of the valley bottom and impounding South Nation River. Bay late June 22, 1993, the river overtopped the dam and again flowed downstream. This paper provides a photographic record of the event and post-failure conditions.
