Description / Abstract:
This specification covers compost produced from various organic
by-products for use as a surface mulch for erosion/sediment control
on sloped areas. This technique may be used for both temporary and
permanent erosion/sediment control applications.
This technique is appropriate for slopes up to a 2:1 grade
(horizontal distance:vertical distance) and should only be used in
areas that have sheet flow drainage patterns (not areas that
receive concentrated flows). This technique may also be used on up
to 1:1 slopes with proper consideration to length of slope and
compost application rates (depth).
