JRM CHEMICAL JRM Chemical’s linear anionic polymers (PAM) are available in powders, emulsions, and tablets to reduce soil erosion and treat turbid water. They are also used as a tackifier with mulch and straw. Low application rates of 4 ppm or less will reduce turbidity in discharge water and reduce suspended particles and colloidal solutions. The crosslinked polymers (SAP) hold moisture and are used as an amendment when planting trees, shrubs, and ground cover. Crosslinked polymers reduce plant waterings by 50%, last three to five years in the soil, and are ideal for remote plantings.www.soilmoist.com

TRACKING PADS LLC Tracking Pads are heavy-duty mats made from recycled rubber that can be laid down at construction entrances and exits and essentially remove mud, sediment, and other debris from vehicles and equipment, capturing debris before it can be tracked out onto the roadway. Each mat measures 12 by 12 feet and can be laid side by side to fit the width of any entrance. The mats are also easily transportable from site to site.www.trackingpads.com

J. 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
EXPRESS BLOWER INC. With Express Blower (EB) machines, erosion control blankets and sediment control berms have never been easier to install or more effective. The long-range capabilities make large and remote sites accessible, manageable, and profitable. The blown-on application ensures that the blanket or berm contours exactly to the soil surface for 100% contact. Using EB’s exclusive and patented Supplemental Injection System, add grass or wildflower seed to the blanket or berm for permanent vegetative support. For erosion control, green roof material installation, landscapes, playgrounds, and terraseeding, there’s only one machine you’ll ever need: Express Blower.www.expressblower.com
SILT SOCK Silt Sock manufactures a variety of products for controlling erosion and sediment. This line includes tube-based products known as silt socks, filter socks, or sediment socks. This product features fabric filled with compost, wood chips, or other organic filtering material to help keep soil in place by reducing stormwater runoff and trapping sediment. In addition to the finished product, the company also supplies fabric and equipment to produce socks. This process minimizes expense on transporting a ready-to-install sock.www.siltsock.net

ECOLOGEL GelTrak is an environmentally responsible dust suppressant formulated with a proprietary blend of hygroscopic and humectant components combined with plant-based binders. GelTrak retards dusting by utilizing subsurface moisture and relative humidity to help keep soils nominally damp for extended periods between watering or rainfall, while adhering dust fines to larger particles. Through this process, GelTrak significantly reduces the total amount of water required to control dust.www.ecologel.com

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.

ROCKLAND MFG. The Rockland Silt Sock Roller—which was designed by Frank Yeager, a seasoned excavator operator—makes installing silt sock easy, especially in difficult terrain. The Silt Sock Roller installs more sock because it uses the hydraulics of the excavator to roll and unroll silt sock, placing it where you want it the first time. The bolt-on header plate allows the roller to be positioned perpendicular or parallel to the excavator stick depending on site conditions.www.rocklandmfg.com
