Rain / Storm water run off from exposed soil is a significant and frequently underestimated source of water pollution.
Activities such as clearing, excavation and grading, leaves exposed soil highly susceptible to weather
erosion, potentially causing water pollution.
Used as a barrier to protect water courses either directly alongside rivers, streams and lakes etc. or alternatively
to protect Storm and other drainage systems. Straw Wattles are a cost effective, environmentally
friendly and highly versatile option in the prevention of Silt pollution.
Envirowattle Straw Wattles can provide an effective Silt barrier in many applications such as:
Main water course, Drain inlets, Stock Piles, Wash Down areas, Compounds, Service roads, Footpaths and
main site perimeter etc...
Key Points
- Creating a direct or indirect barrier adjacent to Rivers, Streams and Lakes etc..
- Providing drain inlet protection
- Directing runoff water to retention and detention devices
As an alternative to existing silt prevention products, Straw Wattles have many distinct advantages:
- Install more easily, particularly in shallow soils and rocky material
- Are more adaptable to slope applications and contour installations
- Blend in with the landscape and are less obtrusive
- Perimeter protection
- Do not obstruct seed applications
- May be removed or left in place following establishment of vegetation
Straw Wattles can also function as vegetative filters by promoting plant growth within the Straw Wattle. |
