As a result of the Loma Prieta earthquake in October, 1989, the Lone Tree
Slide, closed Highway One between Muir Beach and Stinson Beach along the
northern California coast. The road was reopened in June, 1991, after
over three quarters of a million cubic meters of soil and rock were removed
from the slide face. The slide material was disposed into a large fill
on the west side of Highway One. The seaward edge of the fill extended
over 60 meters into the ocean. As a result of the slide, three major projects
were directed to the Benthic Lab group: Highway
One - Lone Tree Slide Monitoring; Big Lagoon
Restoration; and Bolinas Lagoon Restoration.
