Pine Hall Brick Co. St. John’s Home in Rochester, NY, is a long-term community for the elderly. To avoid runoff, the home used StormPave permeable clay pavers in the newly constructed courtyard. Stormwater can remain under the pavers as it slowly dissipates back into the soil. Water can also be used to irrigate the rain gardens in and around the courtyard.www.pinehallbrick.com

Fiber Marketing International Rainier Fiber is a 100% virgin wood fiber from clean, fresh-cut Western softwood chips. Fiber separation is by thermo-mechanical defibration utilizing high-temperature steam combined with mechanical action. This combination of clean wood chips and heat produces the best sterile and toxic-free mulch available to germinate and grow seed, stolons, and sprigs. Rainier Fiber Plus Tacifier has a high-grade organic tacifier uniformly mixed with the wood fiber. This gives stronger bonding of the fibers to the soil and increased erosion protection on slopes.www.fmisales.com

Bonar EnkaSolutions, Bonar’s geosynthetics portfolio, includes Enkamat Turf Reinforcement Mats (TRMs) in its group erosion control products. Enkamat is available in a variety of weights for application in a wide range of project needs. At the Landings Club Golf Course on Skidway Island in Savannah, GA, Enkamat R45 was chosen for its open filament design, which would allow healthy growth of marsh grasses, as well as its high-strength, long-term durability which would help it withstand maintenance equipment. A littoral shelf to be constructed just below average pool elevation would be vegetated with wetland species. From a budgetary and aesthetic perspective, the reinforced vegetation is a welcome alternative to installing costly concrete or unsightly hard armor solutions, and provides an environmentally beneficial solution.www.bonar.com

Bowie Industries Inc.The Bowie ADCM is designed for the off-road, rugged demands of landfill operations. The extra-heavy-duty frame and tongue allow the unit to be towed by a dozer, and the higher ground clearance is accomplished by using frame-mounted spindles instead of axles.

With the standard clear-water-flush system, customers can clean the tower, pump, and hose.www.bowieindustries.com

W. Faircloth & Son Inc. Faircloth Skimmer surface drains float on the surface of the sediment basin as it fills and drains, releasing the cleanest water near the surface instead of draining muddy water from the bottom, as conventional outlets do. It drains the basin slowly over several days at a constant rate to maximize settling. The adjustable orifice regulates the filling and drawdown of the basin and improves efficiency.www.fairclothskimmer.com
