Production and application of biodegradable sediment control device

摘要

An elongated web of flexible material having a covering of excelsior across a portion thereof has an elongated edge portion uncovered. The elongated covered portion is folded over upon itself a number of times, and the elongated uncovered side portion (a tail) are wound upon a roll for utilization after unrolling, as a sediment barrier, properly staked into the ground.

主权项

1. A system for the assembly of an “L”-shapeable, temporary, elongated, inelastic, biodegradable sloped-soil-restricting sediment control device, comprising:
a series of operating stations arranged to receive an inelastic biodegradable elongated web of flexible backing material from a source roll, the series including a treatment-material-width-distributing-limited first station arranged to deposit a supply of excelsior treatment material on only one longitudinally extending side-portion of the inelastic, biodegradable elongated web of flexible backing material, a second station arranged for folding only the one longitudinally extending treatment-material-supplied side-portion of the inelastic biodegradable elongated web of flexible backing material over onto itself; and a third station arranged to attach a plurality of longitudinally spaced-apart transversely-oriented, wooden-stake-receiving-pockets on the biodegradable elongated web of flexible backing material from an overhead transversely-oriented, wooden-stake-receiving pocket-applying web and pocket supply roll to enable the supportive assembly of an “L” shaped, wooden-stake-supportable, sloped-soil-restricting sediment control device onto a sloped soil environment.
