In a Rancho Palos Verdes neighborhood, landslides were exacerbated in the winter storms.
Some residents of the Seaview neighborhood of Rancho Palos Verdes, a quiet community with stunning ocean views, are getting used to a new normal: Water pipes that were dug up to be place over the ground, sandbags in many corners of the area, and plastic tarps covering acres of oceanfront land.“The ground is opening up,” said Mayor John Cruikshank of Rancho Palos Verdes. “The landslide complexes are about a mile wide and a wild high. It’s several hundred acres.
Crews have been doing damage control by filling the fissures with earth and putting plastic tarps over them, so less water will go into the ground and further worsen the landslides.As the recent storms are allowing the earth to move more quickly and frequently, the concern is the underground pipes could burst amid the storms and landslides.
