Testing Methods Targeting a 75% Slope

Slowing Runoff

Breaking up soils on the slope prevents concentrated runoff. This slows the speed of runoff and the capacity of runoff to carry sediments downstream.

Seeding & Mulching

Shown here are an application of Flexterra (foreground) and thick application of wood hydromulch (background). These are two of the methods we tested for effectiveness on different slope types.

Observe New Growth

After 3 weeks & 2.5 inches of rainfall, significant new growth is present on the 75% slope. See the report for full details on techniques and growth.
