Some steep slopes in the corridor resulting from cut and fill have been stabilized with gabions and a plastic erosion control netting has been utilized to enhance r.evegetation results. Spruce, pine, aspen and selected shrubs have been planted and transplanted onto the sites and this activity will continue.
