Abstract:

This report presents technology developed in cooperative research to facilitate the establishment of vegetation for soil stability and to control unwanted vegetation in pavement and on the roadside. Work on erosion control dealt with critical slopes where excessive acidity and plastic soil materials limited vegetation establishment. Lime can be used to reclaim existing acid slopes, but subsequent maintenance liming will be required. Removal of the offending material and backfilling is suggested as a construction practice. Plastic soil materials can be treated in many cases, but present construction requirements make the salvage and immediate use of topsoil possible.
