Berm slope is dictated by geotechnical considerations and slope-stability analysis.
Berm [[slope]] is dictated by geotechnical considerations and slope-stability analysis.
*Maximum berm slopes typically used are 2:1 (horizontal: vertical).

* However, it is better to keep slopes at 3.5:1 or lower angle to minimize sloughing of the slopes into the wetlands while maximizing wetted area in the wetlands.
