Minimize slope disturbance.
- Limit development
footprint on steep slopes (slopes greater than or equal to 25%).
- Complete a
hydrological/soil stability study for steep slopes and use this
study to guide the design of all structures onsite.
- Align road or
extended driveway with natural topography to minimize its grade and
reduce cut and fill.
- Reduce long-term
erosion effects through the design and implementation of terracing,
retaining walls, landscaping, and restabilization techniques.
