Such stabilizing costs would probably run in theuarelfoot of lost thousande to tens of thousands of dollars per sq lawn area. H�wever. property ownere can undertake simple low cost mitigating measures which will not accelerate or will slow the rate of back- wasting. These measures �^e best undertaken in a joint effort with neighbor he]ping neighbor to see that their activities do not adversely affect the neighbor. The most readily observable factors aseociated with the observed recent slope instabilities is dtmping debris an or over the slope. This debris takes many for.me and includea lawn cuttings and prunings, trash, construction debris and earth fill. Most of the areas of recent sliding and/or cracking which indicates incipient sliding are assoinatvisitsh debris dumped on the slope.l Between our slope IDapPowner adjacent oP May 11 and 13th. and MaY 28� 1983� the property to Edgewater Creek did some site grading and pushed fill soil � over the slope above Edgewater Creek. We would expect tossibl be an area which will be p~ene to sliding in the future� p Y destroying portions of the trail down to the beacho�ershdesireito ties should be strongly discouraged. If property reduce the rate oP sliding, they ehould make efforts to dispose of debris in community dumPs designed for debris disposal. Another frequently observed detrimental activity was cutting of trees and other vegetation on the slope to improve views and then leaving the downed trees on the slope. Vegeta�hereby slowing e acts to reduce surface water runoff velocities erosion oS loosened near surface soils. Trees should be selective- ly pruned to maintain their life. Denuded areas should be re- vegetated to reduce erosior. potentia].. Tree and other vegetation cuttings on the slope should be hauled off the slope and dis- posed of properly. These cuttings are considered debris ar a}�ussed above . Water flowing over the slope contributes to erosion of the loosened near surface soils and increases their potential for -1C1-
