The defendant continued to stockpile loose, unengineered PFA on the slope and failed to provide drainage or other reasonable precautions; these breaches made slope failure foreseeable and rendered the defendant negligent and liable in nuisance for the landslides and the reasonable costs of remediation; plaintiff's remediation costs were reasonable and recoverable, subject to credit for the retained deposit and further submissions on costs and interest due to denial of inspection.
