<br />Anchored Tire Revet~ <br /> <br />Anchored tires can be used to control bank era. ion i~ .treams which do ~ot <br />have high flow velocities. High flow veiocities make it difficult to set <br />vegetation established. High velocities al.o increa.e the chance of era. ion <br />occurring around the tires. The .tream banks are shaped to a .lope no steeper <br />than 2 horizontal to 1 vertical, Tires are then tied togethar and placed on <br />the slope, They .hould 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 .hould be pro- <br />tected wlth rock to prevent the stream from undercu,tting the tires. ~egeta- <br />tion .hould be established over the tire mat. <br /> <br />~aintenance requirements for this practice include replacement or repair oE <br />broken tire wires or anchors. Vegetation which ha$ been damaged due to ~ig~ <br />flows .hould be ree.tablished. <br /> <br />50 <br />
