Technical Implementation
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.
