§ 1433-03-K. KOPE Formation.  


Latest version.
  • "KOPE formation" means the shale bedrock that is overlaid by colluvium soils. (See § 1433-03-C2). The colluvium forms a deposit that is thin on the steeper, higher slopes and gradually becomes thicker near the bottom of the hill. Landslides may occur in the colluvium, because the colluvium is derived from the weathering of bedrock.
