The most recent revision of these guidelines, March 1, 2023, is primarily intended to correct equations included in Appendix E3.3.

The 2022 major revision provided additional clarity on current methods and techniques used to perform landslide assessments and expands the content to encompass the requirements of landslide assessments for non-legislated and existing developments, as well as those of legislated and proposed residential developments addressed in the previous versions of these guidelines.
