ABSTRACT:
A three dimensional topography stabilization structure system of preformed, notched and pinned plastic plank to provide a means to form preplanned contours of earth medium cells adjacent to and at the land and water interface; and on land. The system creates contoured slopes above and below water at zero degree to forty five degrees. Within the cells are grown terrestrial vegetation, emergent aquatic vegetation and associated micro flora. The necessary environment of inclined planes, elevations and orientation is created to provide the nourishment balance of solar insolation, water cover, atmosphere and nutrient compulsory to sustain the flora and fauna specifically planned for the area. In addition said plank may be grooved and provided with splines to retain impervious sheet membrane at contours to form and retain selected earth medium filled channels for controlled fluid flow and basins for fluid retention. The system forms a topography wherein vegetation may be planted for stabilization against erosion and for remediation of toxic runoff and from designated channeled fluids.
