Conservation Compliance Plans Maintenance Guidance for 1990s
Kent Scott urges ongoing upkeep of soil conservation structures. Maintain terraces with ridge heights of at least one foot and clear channels of silt. Check underground outlet risers for blockages and periodically reseed washed waterways. Regular mowing and fertilization keep grass stands thick, reducing erosion risks after heavy rains.
