Boundary County Public Information
On January 20, Boundary County Emergency
Management received a call from the Sheriff’s
Office dispatch regarding a possible slide on
Black Mountain. The location of this slide is
above the Cabinet Mountain Water pumping station
and storage facility and the electrical power
lines Northern Lights has feeding the Black
Mountain Communications site off Diamond Road.
Deputies and emergency management responded to
the scene to determine the threat level. After
flying a drone over the site, studying still
photographs, using Google Earth photo analysis
from 1992 through 2014 and the input by local
residents, it was determined this location would
be placed on a watch and checked regularly for
movement.
Both Cabinet Mountain Water and Northern Lights
Power have been notified of the possibility of a
slide that would affect them both. |
