Apply bioengineering techniques to stabilize slopes. Bioengineering involves the use of live plants and natural elements. Examples of techniques include brush layering, soil bioengineering, and
Salt application on roads should be applied strategically to minimize environmental impacts. Include consideration of salt alternatives (such as brine) and alternative application methods to
Upsize culverts and other stormwater management infrastructure (e.g., pipes, drains, etc.) where necessary.
Cool trail materials, including reflective and permeable pavements, can lower ambient temperatures for people walking or biking.
Natural materials are used to restore eroding areas along rivers or streams. For example, vegetation can be planted along banks with rock or log revetments.
