over - moisture of the soil.
34. Erosion control blankets are to be used on steep slopes, generally steeper than 3:1, and slopes
where erosion hazard is high and in sensitive areas such as steams and wetlands and where

neither feasible nor adequate.
a. Mats/ Blankets shall be installed vertically.

Mats/Blankets shall have a good soil contact.
c. Apply permanent seeding before placing the mat.
d. Lay the Blankets loosely and stake or staple to maintain direct contact with the soil.

retaining above or below the tree shall be provided as necessary and shall be outside of the
drip line of the tree. Boulder retaining shall match the other site retaining. For steep slopes,
refer to Evergreen Tree Planting on Slope Detail.
