Abstract:As climate change alters precipitation patterns, departments of transportation will increasingly face the problem of
slope failures, which already cost California millions of dollars in repair work annually. Caltrans hopes to prevent
these failures by implementing the latest vegetative and soil-based solutions for reducing the volume of highway
stormwater runoff on slopes and in water conveyance systems.
Caltrans staff requested a Preliminary Investigation to identify innovative strategies for reducing the risk of roadside
slope erosion. We reviewed recent research, national guidance and related efforts of other state DOTs, focusing on
Low Impact Development technologies; emerging “green” solutions; and biotechnical guidance related to slope
design, soil engineering, and vegetation selection and management.
