Trow Associates Inc. (Trow) completed a review of a somewhat unstable slope area adjacent to the Cowichan River in an area known as Broadway Run. The purpose of the work was to identify areas of historical and recent slope failures and provide a characterization of subsurface soils forming the slope structure with interpretations of failure mechanisms and contributing factors. In addition, possible mitigative measures to reduce slope failures and/or their impact on the river are presented.
