Lordsburg Playa Restoration Project

Welcome to MP10, a Land Restoration Project Site along I-10 on the Lordsburg Playa where the aim is to get water to soak into the soil, grow plants, and help stop dust from blowing.

Stream Dynamics, Inc. worked with High Desert Native Plants and Tooley’s Keyline Plow to mitigate dust on this 30 acre site adjacent to where a fatal accident occurred from dust coming off barren BLM land that had been leased to a rancher for cattle grazing.

Stream Dynamics built 500 berm and basin features with a small bulldozer to create surface roughness designed to slow near surface wind velocity and prevent eolian scour. The features were covered with 2” of chipped wood mulch before being seeded, keyline plowed and imprinted.
