Install geotextiles on embankments to enhance drainage and strengthen the base of pavement structure. This can include using native dogwood stakes to facilitate natural vegetation development.
Moderate – helps reduce flood-related damage over time by providing a moisture barrier that prevents water infiltrating into the base and weakening sub-layers
Moderate – some flexibility for moving or changing geosynthetic/geotextile layers in soil
Cost; expertise; NYSDEC restricts the use of synthetics, so may be of limited utility if plastic materials are involved
Ensure equitable deployment of technologies in a range of income communities, based on greatest need.
