Erosion and Sediment Control in the Mountains
29 August 2007
About the Workshop
This workshop addresses local challenges and presents solutions about erosion and sediment control in the mountains. Learn the updates to the Erosion & Sediment Control Manual, take an in-depth look at common obstacles with E&S control and solutions, and learn how to control erosion, sediment, and curb turbidity on sloped, mountainous areas. Join in the discussion session allowing industry professionals in Western North Carolina to talk about erosion control trends, success stories, challenges, and more. Discover the latest E&S products and systems during the vendor showcase and observe E&S control demonstrations.
