Debris Flow
Publication: Highway 1 Rat Creek Embankment Failure: 2021 Reconnaissance and Analysis
Abstract
The debris flow and water that reached Highway 1 was traced back to its origins along Rat Creek and to the tree debris dam. The origin of the primary debris flow pulse was the tree debris dam approximately 711 yd (650 m) upstream of the collection basin. In general, the residual mud veneer deposited by the debris flow on the banks as well as standing tree trunks illustrate the depth of the debris flow within the channel. This chapter presents and describes the photographs that document the conditions of Rat Creek from the tree debris dam to the mouth or exit point of Rat Creek.
