Abstract
In early April 1985, large landslides occurred at several low elevation forested locations in southcentral British Columbia causing significant off-site damage to properties and other resource values. The determination of the causes of these landslides have significant economic and legal implications with regard to who should be paying for the repair costs associated with the damage. Two landslides that have caused damage to fish habitats and rehabilitation in Quesnel Lake, B.C., were reported by Watt and Cheng (1985). The present study assesses the causes of another landslide near Vavenby, B.C. that had led to traffic stoppage of the Canadian National railway track immediately below by covering it with a large amount of soil, rock and forest debris. The results are discussed in relation to the findings of Watt and Cheng (1985).
