<br />Anchored Tire Revetment <br /> <br />l <br />1 <br />i <br />1 <br />I <br />, <br /> <br />, <br />~ <br /> <br />Anchored tires can be used to control bank erosion in streams which do not <br />have high flow velocities. High flow velocities make it difficult to get <br />vegetation established. High velocities also increase the chance of erosion <br />occurring around the tires. The stream banks are shaped to a slope no steeper <br />than 2 horizontal to l vertical. Tires are then tied together and placed on <br />the slope. They should extend up the bank to a height of one foot above the <br />high water elevation. The area above the tires should be shaped and seeded to <br />appropriate vegetation, The mat of tires is anchored to the slope to keep it <br />from floating when it is submerged. The toe of the tire mat shou.ld be pro- <br />tected with rock to prevent the stream from undercutting the tires. Vegeta- <br />tion should be established over the tire mat. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />Maintenance requirements for this practice include replacement 010 repair of <br />broken tire wires or anchors. Vegetation which has been damaged due to high <br />flows should be reestablished. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />~ <br />, <br />. <br /> <br />j <br />1 <br />~ <br />t <br />4 <br />~ <br />j <br />I <br />1 <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />t <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />1 <br />I <br /> <br />60 <br />
