This project will leverage the most complete set of directly measured erosion data in the LTB and conducted targeted rainfall simulation to develop a new land use category for road cut and full slopes. Additionally, using quantitative data and input from agency personnel, this project will define functional condition classes and develop a straight-forward field protocol that regulators and project implementers can use to identify and classify the pollutant loading potential of cut and fill slopes at the project scale.
