What happens here
At a pond-side property, the landscaper and engineer discuss erosion control and re-grading strategies. The plan involves removing existing logs and a fallen retaining wall from the steep embankment leading to the pond. To prevent future erosion, bio-logs or a silt fence will be installed along the pond's edge. The slope will be re-graded to a 2:1 ratio (steeper than the standard 3:1 for unmanaged slopes, which was approved due to specific conditions) and then re-established with vegetation. Materials will be brought in from the street, potentially requiring a temporary bridge over a marshy area to access the site. This project requires careful planning to ensure environmental protection and long-term stability of the embankment.
Goal: Stabilize a pond embankment, control erosion, and re-establish vegetation.
