The erosion control toolbox has
emerged at a rapid rate as owners and specifiers seek solutions search
permanent solutions for complex ground stabilization problems. Driven by stronger regulatory requirements,
site developers today have access to a dramatically expanded set of erosion
control tools.
Driven by the Clean Water Act of
1972, high demand has provided expanded options for protecting soil and for
providing lasting value to property owners.
Today’s site planners can choose from a wide variety of products to meet
the demand for cost effective and sustainable solutions.
Attendees can expect to be brought
up to date on not only product innovations, but also on the development of
reliable tools for specifiers and the important progress that has been made in
creating performance-based industry standards.
