4.2.2 SLOPE STABILIZATIONVegetated slope stabilization, terracing, retaining wall, riprap, and slopeshaping are different slope stabilization techniques that minimize erosion onpreviously disturbed slopes. The primary pollutant of concern associated withdisturbed slopes is sediment. These techniques help prevent or minimizeerosion to the extent possible, and in many cases allow improved vegetationestablishment. A naturally steep slope that is already stable and not slated forlegally permitted construction should be left undisturbed. With all slopestabilization, always maintain the overall natural topography of a site to thegreatest extent possible.TRPA <strong>BMP</strong> HandbookChapter 4: <strong>BMP</strong> Toolkit2012 Page 1
