Mobile Mud Spring Mitigation

CLIENT Union Pacific Railroad

Location Imperial County, CA

In 2016, an unprecedented gas-driven “mud spring” near the southern end of the San Andreas Fault began moving southwest towards the UPRR tracks. The mobile mud spring appeared to be moving along a fault or crack with the gas source at least 2,000 feet below the ground surface.
