Environmental Impact Research Program. Restoration of Problem Soil Materials at Corps of Engineers Construction Sites.
Abstract
This report contains information on the planning and implementation of vegetative restoration for problem soil materials at Corps of Engineers construction sites. Problem soil materials described include acid soils, saline and alkaline soils, excessively drained soils, poorly drained soils, dispersive clays, and wind-erodible soils. Plant materials are listed for different regions of the United States as well as information on seeding and planting procedures. The report should be a valuable resource document for planners and engineers that are required to control soil erosion and vegetate project sites that contain problem soil materials. Contents: Identification of Problem Soil Environments; Planning the Restoration of Problem Soil Material Sites; Land Treatment and Soil/Regolith Conditioning Measures; Vegetative Stabilization of Problem Soil Materials; Nonvegetative Stabilization Practices.
