Modify the slope gradient by redistributing soil or rock mass or creating flat or gently sloping areas on steep slopes to minimize landslide potential.
Moderate – modifying the slope’s geometry can help reduce landslide risk
Moderate – although slopes can be re-modified in the future, repeated alteration of the slope may decrease slope stability and create cascading impacts in other areas
Cost; limited space/options for slope modification; resistance from neighboring property owners
Ensure equitable siting of infrastructure across a range of equity areas, based on greatest need.
