, Suppose you are a geological engineer hired to deal with rockfall problems along
new sections of the Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99). You are asked to deal with
large rockslides that may initiate along newly cut rock slopes blasted to widen the
Sea-to-Sky Highway (Highway 99). To prevent massive blocks (>1000 m3) from sliding
onto the road, which approach to mitigation would you take?
A. Prevention through rock bolts, anchors and drainage.
B. Avoidance by selecting an alternative route for the highway.
C. Protection by installing netting.
D. Prevention by planting trees.
E. Protection by building a containment channel.
