Article 8. SITE GRADING, STORM WATER DETENTION, CULVERTS AND PIPED DRAINAGE SYSTEMS AND SOIL SEDIMENT CONTROL REQUIREMENTS

§ 8.1.6. [Stabilizing slopes.]

Latest version.

While most soils in the area can be safely stabilized at a 2:1 slope, some soils exhibit a low shearing resistance and a low cohesiveness. These soils typically are micaceous silts and sandy soils with little or no clay. If the 2:1 slope shows evidence of shearing, non-cohesiveness, sliding, or inability to maintain compaction, the slope shall be stabilized at 3:1 or by using such mechanical methods as needed (such as retaining walls or "grow mats" stapled in place) to maintain slope, height, and integrity.
