Engineering Geology in Colorado:  Contributions, Trends, and Case Histories Authors: J. Cremeens (AAI) Moment-driven, regressive slope deformation has been observed in many large open pits.  The Homestake Pitch Mine provides another example of this type of pit slope stability.  The North Pit of the Pitch Mine was developed in a geologic setting that led to [...]
