_t c_ <br /> iavn.e: As:<s about a desi,, n. <br /> ir_Savory We had the in`ornal discussion and a case of putting on compatible <br /> fill and using roots, limbs anlwhatever to stabilize and cover. The problem that <br /> we are faced with is the proper stabilization of the bottom of the bank. We need <br /> to establish somethingto build against. In critical areas, of course, we are <br /> virtu, .Ily on a vertical slope. We don't have the angle of repose where we can <br /> get any vegetation on there. We have to get some material in there at the proper <br /> angle to start establishing vegetation. In talking around in other discussions <br /> with other people, there is the recommendation by many that we use the stone <br /> mound for a base. <br /> 1-;ayne: What did you mention the last time we met that DZ: E wasn't going along <br /> with this type of (interrupted) <br /> Mr. Savory: When I was at the !Jetlands Seminar about a month ago, I started in- <br /> ouiring and discussed the problem informally with Jeff Benoit, Bob Stevens and <br /> t4arta Braderman. You seemed to face the situation at the time in not having been <br /> involved in it where you started mentioning structural items. It seemed like they <br /> got turned off, . But, yet, as you inquire around of those who have put these in, <br /> like Prof. Connors of M.I.T. and people who have done the work along Plymouth, <br /> apparently the stone mound is not necessarily the ultimate solution but it appears <br /> to be "the best solution". In other words, develop that base so that you can <br /> build down on that base and then you can establish your vegetation. Right now, we <br /> are in an immediate situation "whereby, even though it isn't the ultimate solution) <br /> in Fetting materials on this banking and getting a proper angle of repose so that <br /> we can develop some kind of vegetation. <br /> The bags have arrived and we are getting ready to perch the beach right away which, <br /> of course, in time may help also. <br /> Of course, this is an immediate type of thing at least in the critical areas. As <br /> you can see, trey are exposed. Where the area has been protected by brush and <br /> other means, you've seen it is working. The grass is developing. But now that we <br /> have these situations, you don't have anything where you can actually get a base <br /> to get this started on. <br /> Pauline: There is some grass gr:r,.ing there, which is amazing. <br /> Mr. Savorv: We took these pictures ab-,ut two weeks ago and these are further down <br /> towards the end. Up on the major bluff, which is ap_roximately 40 feet in eleva- <br /> tion, this is where you really get the severe situation. <br /> Dorothy: In what manner are you going to use to contain all these tree limbs and <br /> stumps? <br /> Fir. Savory: 'Jell, actually, in philosophy, we will be imbedding those in compatible <br /> fill. <br /> Dorothy: I won't ao along with that. Absolutely not. There has got to be some- <br /> thing to contain that either a snow fence or stone revetment or something. <br /> Ken: that is the purpcse of the perch beach? <br /> _ Savory: dell, the perch beat: is a sand bag operation.
