Permanent Erosion Control For Rocky Slope At 2H:1V
Permanent Erosion Control For Rocky Slope At 2H:1V
(OP)
I would like some guidance for permanent erosion control measures for an existing rocky slope at an inclination of 2H:1V. The maximum slope height is 25 feet. Parallel horizontal benches are not feasible due to site constraints. Slope is a structural fill slope built with a rocky fill material with a maximum rock size of 12-inches. Surface erosion is occurring on the slope face. A good vegetative cover has not been established.
Thanks.
Thanks.

unless you can get good vegetation to grow, the permanent fix is very expensive, either flatten it to 3:1 or flatter or bench it or line it with a long term erosion protection such as concrete. 2:1 is simply too steep for an unvegetated slope.

Vegetation will be more difficult to achieve if you have a lot of rocks on the surface - exposing as much dirt on the slope as you can (be removing large rocks) will help the revegatation efforts.
If you are in a dry climate, watering during the first month is also very imporant, particularly for a 2:1 slope.
