Editor's note: Fewer than 20 homes in the 514-home Winter Valley subdivision in Jefferson County are in the immediate vicinity of a hillside undermined by recent rainfall, according to an attorney for the subdivision. The story published in the Wednesday edition of the Post-Dispatch was unclear about the number of homes at risk.

Three weeks after torrential rain triggered a landslide that displaced occupants of one home, residents of a Jefferson County subdivision are still facing far more questions than answers about what will be done to permanently stabilize the hillside — and how it will be paid for.

Officially there are not even clear options on the table about how to proceed. Managers and lawyers representing the 514-home Winter Valley subdivision met Tuesday with a crowd of nearly 100 people at the headquarters of the Saline Valley Fire Protection District in Fenton.

Tom Reina, a manager from Community Managers Associates, said that county officials are still taking measurements of the hillside to guide any engineered solutions. But Reina did describe construction of a rock dike or retention wall as a potential remedy commonly used in similar situations.
