Synopsis (short abstract) The document provides detailed specifications for road design and construction in mountain areas in sensitive watersheds where on-site protection of the road itself as well as the downstream effects of soil disturbance and changes in drainage patterns are important considerations. Protection includes provision for adequate drainage as well as surface and slope protection measures. Road construction and maintenance techniques- are adapted to conditions of low traffic volumes in steep terrain.

    The purpose of this paper is to provide practical guidance for vegetative measures for slope stabilization. This may be particularly useful in environments with a wide choice of readily available vegetative material. Measures include revegetation of slopes by living material, slopes stabilization by the combined use of dead and living materials, and biotechnical drainage systems.
