Executive Summary

Summary: Catstair Canyon in Utah contains dozens of classic cars stacked as riprap—erosion control material—dating back six decades. This mid-20th century practice used junked car bodies filled with gravel to protect riverbanks and canyon slopes from water damage, though it fell out of favour after the 1972 Clean Water Act.
