stabilization techniques described in this Handbook (e.g., Terracing, RetainingWalls, etc.).Slope stepping practices described require slopes that are flat enough to permitaccess to heavy equipment, typically 2:1 (run to rise) or less. Three slopestepping techniques are described:• Serrations – small steps graded into a slope using a grader equipped witha special blade, usually a serrated wing blade having a series of 10 inchgrooves. The blade is positioned at the same angle as the slope, and theserrations are made along the contour of the slope. The maximum slopelength for this slope stepping technique should be 100 feet.
