Good - Vegetation is relatively easy to establish and maintain, the surface is stable and resists erosion
and the reconstructed soil has good potential productivity.
Fair -Can be vegetated and stabilized by modifying one or more properties. Topdressing with better
material or application of soil amendments may be necessary for satisfactory performance.
Poor - Such severe problems that revegetation and stabilization is very difficult and costly. Topdressing
with better material is necessary to establish and maintain vegetation.
