Mudslide briefly stalls housing project at former Everett landfill
EVERETT — A mudslide in September caused a brief hiccup in plans to transform an old landfill in Everett into new homes.
Otherwise, progress on closing the former Go East Corp. landfill appears to be on track.
On Sept. 21, after water saturated the ground, part of a slope gave way and sent up to 700 cubic yards of dirt down the hillside, partially burying two excavators.
An estimated two feet of fill covered about an acre of land, extending across a wetland and to a stream, and touching properties north and east of the site, including a greenbelt owned by nearby homeowner associations, as well as an easement corridor for the Olympic Pipe Line Co.
No one was hurt in the mudslide and the excavators have since been recovered. And despite persistent heavy rainfall in November, no other slides have been reported.
