SUMMARY:Lunch 'n' Learn (Aug 20) Sediment and Erosion Control Solutions for your Toolbox
DESCRIPTION:Specifiers and users of erosion and sediment control (ESC) products may not always be familiar with which products are best suited to address site-specific erosion challenges. This presentation will focus on available tools—ESC products—that can be used to respond to varying site conditions. The session will cover the differences between sediment control and erosion control\, factors contributing to erosion\, and considerations for selecting appropriate products. It will also include a review of site images to evaluate product usage.
