Subsidence is when the hillside gets so saturated with water that it can't support itself any longer and then the hillside starts to slide and flow much like molten lava might. This is very heavy soil movement. As you can see by the lumping the soil with grass on it is moving much like molten lava might move down a hillside. This is very unstable land. Very wet and you might even sink down into it a bit if you were to walk on it in this wet state.  This particular example isn't in Lafayette but is a good example of what we have seen with subsidence. Can it be cured? Yes in many cases. Is it costly,Yes in most cases it is or can be.   Look at the first small tree to the right... nice and growing straight up (a temporary condition on this site) Now focus to the right about 3/4 across the ...
