Screening Vegetation Engineering

Slurry must be confined in

material capable of supporting acceptable vegetation and built in accordance
with sound engineering practices.  Such areas shall be screened with border plantings
of tree species which by their seeding habits will encourage propagation of
vegetation to these areas, and levees or dams built to confine slurry shall be
established to adapted species of grasses.  The stand requirements shall meet
