◦ Sell the land because it will always be prone to mass wasting.
◦ Excavate the soil from the building site, install drainage systems, and backfill with gravel to prevent water accumulation.
◦ Terrace the slope, building on the terraces, and constructing a rock retaining well with voids to allow drainage of water.
