Some times referred to as fiber rolls or fiber logs, StormWattles can be used instead of silt fence to reduce erosion control at construction sites. The units stop sediment and other debris from entering retention ponds, lakes and other water bodies.

Wattles are made with wheat straw, and bound into a tight tubular roll. When StormWattles are placed on the face of slopes, they intercept stormwater runoff, reduce its flow velocity, release the runoff as sheet flow, and provide removal of sediment from the runoff. By interrupting the length of a slope, the Ultra-StormWattle fiber roll can also reduce erosion.

Environmentally-friendly - units can be left in place to eventually "mulch in" with surrounding environment.

Installation is quick and easy - simply dig shallow trench and stake in place.

Requires no maintenance or upkeep.

Can be used as check dams to reduce water velocity.

Less intrusive and conspicuous than silt fence - perfect for use in ongoing residential and commercial construction projects.

Minimize erosion on slopes and inclines - perfect for fire burn rehabilitation, timber harvest erosion control and revegetation projects.

Helps comply with NPDES, 40 CFR 122.26 (1999) when used as Best Management Practice in Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plans.
