But in the latter case, the north <br />aspect certainly has contributed to the success. <br />The shop slope has shown that sweetclover is important to establishing <br />a quick cover and helping the grasses to become established. It also shows <br />that slope stabilization is critical to the success of any reclamation <br />project. The instability which has developed in the eastern quarter of <br />this slope has been a severe aggravation and appears to be alleviated <br />through the construction of a support berm at the base of the slope. <br />Page 3 of 4 1988 PIKEVIEW QUARRY ANNUAL REPORT <br />
