Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to perform construction preparation similar to that performed in the past when constructing haul roads which would identify unstable foundation material; and then follow the procedures used when an unstable foundation is encountered when constructing hauls roads which would include either removing the soft material or adding stable material such as geotechnical fabric or additional fill material.l
