No Wildlife was Harmed During the Implementation
of this Project
7
Natural Occurring 21 Slope
8
Tree Revetment Anchored into the Stream Bank to
Protect the Toe and Trap Sediment
9
Duckbill Anchors, Rocks, and Post Used to Secure
Tree Revetment
10
Turf Reinforcement Mats Covered the Slope
11
TRMs are Pinned Down and Secured in Place
12
Duckbill Earth Anchors and Trees are Installed
13
Fill is Placed on Tree to Create a Bench for
Sediment Deposition and to Anchor the Toe of the
TRM
14
TRM is Trenched in and Folded Over on the Up
Stream End
15
Silky Dogwood Planted in the TRM
16
Grass Seed was Planted Under and Over Top of the
TRM. Compost was Spread Over the Top to Insure
Seed to Soil Contact
17
Compost Spread over the TRM
