-
Some times referred to as fiber rolls or fiber
logs, StormWattles can be used instead of silt fence to reduce erosion
control at construction sites. The units stop sediment and other debris
from entering retention ponds, lakes and other water bodies.
-
Ultra-StormWattle are made with wheat straw,
and bound into a tight tubular roll. When StormWattles are placed on the
face of slopes, they intercept stormwater runoff, reduce its flow
velocity, release the runoff as sheet flow, and provide removal of
sediment from the runoff. By interrupting the length of a slope, the
Ultra-StormWattle fiber roll can also reduce erosion.
-
Environmentally-friendly - units can be left
in place to eventually "mulch in" with surrounding environment.
-
Installation is quick and easy - simply dig
shallow trench and stake in place.
-
Requires no maintenance or upkeep.
-
Can be used as check dams to reduce water
velocity.
-
Less intrusive and conspicuous than silt fence
- perfect for use in ongoing residential and commercial construction
projects.
-
Minimize erosion on slopes and inclines -
perfect for fire burn rehabilitation, timber harvest erosion control and
revegetation projects.
-
Helps comply with NPDES, 40 CFR 122.26 (1999)
when used as Best Management Practice in Storm Water Pollution Prevention
Plans.
