Our
client needed to stabilize an area that had been disturbed
due to installation of sewer lines. This particular project
is located in a municipality that holds strict regulations
in regards to storm water compliance and erosion control issues.
The area needing vegetation included a 1:1 slope as well as
an outflow area at the bottom of the slope. The primary challenges
were to stabilize the area with permanent vegetation and slow
the velocity of water in order to prevent erosion and therefore
any storm water contamination. Filtrexx Filtersoxx (12 inch)
was installed at the top and bottom of the slope area as well
as trouble areas in order to slow the velocity of water prior
to seeding applications. An application of 1/2 inch compost
and seed was then terraseeded onto the slope area and then
covered with a coconut blanket and stapled down. The surrounding
areas were then terraseeded with one inch application of compost
and seed.
