ACEQUIA CONSERVATION

Slope stabilization strategies

Filtration strategies are proposed throughout the steep slopes depending on elevations, material avialability, ease of construction, slope value and location specific requirement.

Repurposing Debris

Branches can be stacked into ground for additional erosion control layer. Broken rocks on-site embedded in soil with native grass seed mix can be used to further stabilize the soil.

Seed Survivors

The seeds that survived the fire can be collected and used in bio-degradable wattles to create natural erosion control and micro habitat.

FLOOD MITIGATION

In upper elevations and intense burn scar damage areas, the debris can be collected and piled up with posts to form a primary barricade for other debris, stopping them from sliding down.

Less steep slope, 5-20% Higher elevation, Hard to carry material, On-site available material repurpose
