§ 9658.5. Ground cover.

Irrigated and nonirrigated ground covers shall be as follows:

A.

Irrigated ground cover . Low growing spreading shrubs that are drought tolerant are the preferred choice of ground cover planting.

B.

Nonirrigated ground cover. In certain situations, temporary plantings may be required where irrigation is not economically feasible nor desirable. Nonirrigated hydromulch seeds are acceptable for natural or undisturbed slopes. Hydromulch seeds should be applied following the first measurable rainfall in the fall of the year or a temporary irrigation method shall be provided to ensure germination and minimum growth. If the natural rainfall fails to provide adequate moisture for germination, supplemental irrigation may be required.
