Debris flow hazard assessment for the Oregon Caves National Monument
Friday J. 1983. Debris flow hazard assessment for the Oregon Caves National Monument. U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Resources Investigations Report. 83-4100. United States Geological Survey. Portland, OR
Having experienced a devastating debris flow in the Oregon Caves National Monument, the National Park Service needed an evaluation of the potential hazard from additional flows. Soil properties at six randomly chosen sites were compared with at the source of the debris flow. Although all sites had soils that could become unstable with sufficient moisture, soils at one site had properties similar to those at the scar and a potential hazard was identified.
