Description:

Abstract:
Polygon data capturing Landslide Hazard Areas for the Tillamook County coast. Landslides were discriminated as active, potentially active, or prehistoric. Landslides were also discriminated by type of slope failure: landslide blocks, complex landslides, or earth flows. This data set is one portion of a larger study of the entire Tillamook County Coastline. For full details on study results and methods please consult DOGAMI Open-file Report O-01-03, and associated digital files.
Purpose:
To assess existing and potential coastal erosion hazards along the Tillamook County shoreline, extending from Cascade Head in the south to Cape Falcon in the north. Further, to assist County planners in effective decisionmaking adjacent to the shoreline.
Supplemental Information:
Landslides were examined in the field primarily within a kilometer or less of the coastline. Inland landslides, within about 6 miles of the coast, were compiled mainly from literature sources (e.g. Schlicker and others, 1972; Wells and others, 1994), supplemented by photo and topographic map interpretation and limited field mapping.

Data Set Credit:
This investigation was supported by a professional services agreement with Tillamook County and from resources of the State of Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI). County funds were derived from the Project Impact program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The project was greatly facilitated by the Netarts Littoral Cell Management Planning Project supported by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development, Oregon Parks and Recreation Division, and Tillamook County. We are especially grateful to John Beaulieu (Director of DOGAMI), Dennis Olmstead (Deputy State Geologist), Zhenming Wang (acting Earthquake Program Director for DOGAMI), Paul Komar (Oregon State University), John Marra (Department of Land Conservation and Development), Richard Rinne (Hart Crowser, Inc), and Doug Gless (H.G. Schlicker & Associates, Inc), for their insightful comments on this report. Thanks must also be extended to Randy Dana, Department of Land Conservation and Development, for his help in collating the NOS T-sheets, Chris Chickadel, Oregon State University, for helping out with the ARGUS photographic data, and James Good, Oregon State University, who offered helpful advice early on in the project. We are also extremely grateful to Stuart Albright of Hart Crowser, Inc. for sending invaluable geotechnical data from The Capes project. Eileen Hemphill-Halley of the US Geological Survey and University of Oregon kindly provided data analyses of diatoms present in Quaternary deposits of The Capes landslide.
Native Data Set Environment: Microsoft Windows Vista Version 6.1 (Build 7601) Service Pack 1; ESRI ArcCatalog 9.3.1.4000

Completeness Report: Landslides were examined in the field primarily within a kilometer or less of the coastline. Inland landslides, within about 6 miles of the coast, were compiled mainly from literature sources.
Positional Accuracy:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy:

Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report:
Field-mapped boundaries are located no better than the inherent error of the DOQ’s, ± 33 feet horizontal. Where tonal contrast on the photos was small (e.g. areas of featureless gray), the difficulty of information transferal increases, so that the error in these locations is likely to be somewhat higher.
Vertical Positional Accuracy:

Vertical Positional Accuracy Report: Elevations in this data set are relative to the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD’ 88)

Process Step:

Process Description:
For the entire project, the process steps included the following: 1. Work with local advisory groups to guide the investigation. 2. Obtain appropriate historical aerial photography. 3. Search the literature for hazard data. 4. Map existing open coastal shoreline landslides, classifying them as prehistoric, potentially active, or active. 6. Collect shoreline topographic profiles and other data necessary to estimate the width of a zone of shoreline variability on dune-backed open coastal shorelines. 7. In collaboration with County and technical advisers, establish a methodology for mapping erosion hazard areas. 8. Map the erosion hazard areas. 9. Digitize all line data. 10. Transmit all digital data to County. 11. Provide follow-up advice on use of the maps in policy development.
Process Date: 1999

Process Step:

Process Description:
Landslides were examined in the field primarily within a kilometer or less of the coastline. Inland landslides, within about 6 miles of the coast, were compiled mainly from literature sources (e.g. Schlicker and others, 1972; Wells and others, 1994), supplemented by photo and topographic map interpretation and limited field mapping. Field-mapped landslide boundaries were transferred by inspection from stereographic photos to standard 1994 DOQ’s of the US Geological Survey (USGS) using MAPINFO software. In some cases topographic 28 Preliminary Report – Coastal Erosion Hazard Zones -- Cascade Head to Cape Falcon contours and other features from 1985/1986 USGS DRG’s were utilized to aid the transferal of the landslide data.
