In Conclusion
LBNL Citizens’ Advisory Group, 8 July 2010
• There is no evidence of a caldera at LBNL
• The topography of LBNL suggests the volcanic rocks are stronger and more resistant to erosion that the other geologic units
• There is no evidence of a past landslide on the western slope of LBNL impacting the area below
• Slope stability is a concern at LBNL, as it is throughout the Berkeley Hills
• The LBNL site is on average more stable than the surrounding hills due to the initial site characteristics and the completed slope stability projects
• LBNL will continue to evaluate and improve slope stability
