Application of a mixture of compost, wood chips and seed for slope erosion control on Sawyer Ranch.
Application of compost filter socks at top of slope to control water movement and prevent erosion. Filter sock was placed above area of erosion control application to filter out sediment and slow down flowing water to allow vegetation time to establish. Filter sock can be removed following vegetation establishment.
Filter socks are stabilized to help prevent erosion.
Overview of rock berm and compost applied on slope at Sawyer Ranch.
Filter socks installed on roadsides to reduced sediment loss and water flow in ditches.
Filter sock installed in ditch at Sawyer Ranch.
Rock berms are another technique used to prevent soil erosion. Instead of compost filter socks, rocks are lined along roadsides and slopes to slow down running water.
A compost filter berm is placed alongside a rock berm in a roadside ditch to aid in erosion control.
