National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Abstract	An erosion and reclamation experiment was conducted on a geologic site in east-central Ohio to determine the effect of slope and reclamation treatments on hydrologic, sediment loss, and vegetative variables. Analyses of the fallow plot data showed that a topsoiled surface significantly decreased soil loss, but was of borderline significance in affecting peak flow when compared with spoil. The application of 1 and 2 tons of mulch reduced soil loss 3.8 and 10 times, respectively, compared with no-mulch plots, but was of borderline significance in explaining runoff and peak flow changes. Treatment effects on vegetative establishment and growth were measured over a 2-year period.
