Best Management Practices: Disturbed Area Stabilization (with permanent vegetation) [Ds3]
Permanent vegetation provides final stabilization to areas disturbed due to construction.
Consisting of grasses, trees, shrubs, or legumes, permanent vegetation will reduce runoff and erosion. In addition, permanent vegetation will improve site aesthetics and may help restore wildlife to the area.
If the area is being stabilized with grass, proper amounts of lime and fertilizer should be applied. Seed may be distributed by hand, cyclone spreader, seed press, or hydroseeder. Irrigation may be needed to supplement rainfall if draught conditions persist.
