| Abstract/Contents: | Profiles the ErosionLab in Rice Lake, WI which evaluates the performance of Best Management Practices (BMPs) in controlling erosion and sediment. The lab tests the numerous materials and products claiming to control erosion. The lab uses two criteria: the ability to control erosion and sediment loss before vegetation establishment and the ability to speed up seed germination during vegetation establishment. Describes in detail how testing is carried out and stresses that the testing methods are scientific and thorough. Multiple independent tests are performed to ensure accuracy. |
