Oso (SR 530) Landslide

Geotechnical Engineer Bucky Tart, QB, MP, MSCE, PE, DGE has five sets of initials after his name in addition to being a member of the Rotary Club of Arlington. He shared slides and videos with the club about the Oso Landslide and what he felt happened based on his experiences with landslides and long term aerial observations of the area.

Bucky is a pilot. He first flew over the slide area in 2002, four years before the 2006 slide, and observed treed terrain on a bench and a chute down the side of the cliff to the river. Seeps of silt were apparent even then, which caused cloudy water that upset the Steelhead fishermen.
