What are sediment control logs?
East Coast Erosion offers a wide variety of sediment control rolls, which are sediment barriers designed to intercept sheet flow runoff and sediment particles from disturbed areas.
When should sediment control BMPS be removed?
In general, all are removed after stabilization. In special cases, such as where removal may damage structures or foundation soils, cofferdams may be left in place. Must be removed after stabilization. Devices designed for temporary, short-term (e.g., less than one year) use must be removed after stabilization.
What is erosion log?
Log Erosion Barriers (LEBs) are logs placed in a shallow trench on the contour to intercept water running down a slope and trap sediment. Log erosion barriers are used on moderate or severely burned slopes ranging between 20 percent to 60 percent, with erosive soils.
What are fiber rolls made of?
Fiber rolls are made from weed free rice straw, flax, or a similar agricultural material bound into a tight tubular roll by netting. Typical fiber rolls vary in diameter from 9 in. to 20 in. Larger diameter rolls are available as well.
When can inlet protection be removed?
Sediment should be removed from the devices after the sediment has reached a maximum of one half the height of the inlet protection device and disposed of in a suitable area protected from erosion. Temporary curb inlet protection should be removed when the drainage area to the inlet has been completely stabilized.
What is Type S silt fence?
S-Fence is a patented high performing, low total cost alternative to silt fence. It reduces sedimentation and provides erosion control on or around construction sites. S-Fence stands up to wind, UV exposure and will last many years. It is highly reusable. It is made from durable and recyclable HDPE.
Can burlap be used for erosion control?
Burlap works well as an erosion-prevention device because it pins down soil, keeping it in place. Even better, it is biodegradable. So after you put it down, you can leave it in place and let it decompose.
