This is less than the rate of increase seen earlier this year (March/January was in the range of 130-200% increase. March/April was about 70% increase), but the land movement continues to increase. Greatest in Klondike Canyon 50-75%. Translates to average velocity of 2-3 inches up to 9 inches/week adjacent to the PB slide. Highest is 13 inches/week in the middle of the KC complex in the preserve. Overall movement is in the 9-10 inch/week range. Abalone Cove 7-11 inches per week. Vanderlip area is 5-10 inches/week.
