all appr-oprlate v~sualiy for this location. An alternatl.e tc
benching would be the use of a dragline to pull some of tte material
back up the slope, thus reducing the gradient but avoidine a benched
topography. The problem with dragline use is the presence of nearby
power lines that could greatly limit its use. Also, a dre~gline tends
to create furrows parallel to the direction of the slope. These
furrows can eventually turn Into erosion channels. Furthermore there
is the problem of having sufficient reach distance to make a
difference in the surface configuration.
Concerning disturbance area q4, Castle certainly wants to avoid,
if possible, any further disturbance of the surround:ne vegetation to
correct the disturbance. It seems counterproductive to disturb more
Land than is already disturbed to produce a moderate gain in
topographic adequacy when simpler techniques that have boson used
successfully before can be undertaken first.

Although we suggested Cedar Heights use the soil on their own
roadsides to help revegetate them, they decided to discarei it. Castle
