Document Description
The purpose of the emergency repair project is to stabilize the railroad tracks from further deflection due to recent landslide movement originating at the westerly coastal slope and extending below the railroad ROW to daylight west of the tracks. The slide has resulted in severe cracks and separation in pavement and house foundations at the top of the slope and has caused severe deflection in the railroad tracks. Passenger rail service has been suspended.

Notice of Exemption
Exempt Status
Statutory Exemption
Type, Section or Code
15269
Reasons for Exemption
Failure to act immediately would result in continued deflection of the railroad tracks and potential large-scale landslide that would render the railroad line out of service for many months. Passenger service has already been halted in the emergency area. If more railroad track deflection were to occur, freight railroad traffic and the movement of goods through the area will also need to be halted for an unknown period of time.
