ASTM test methods developed for Rolled Erosion Control Products and have been modified to accommodate hydraulically applied erosion control products. Cover Factor is calculated as soil loss ratio of treated surface versus an untreated control surface. Effectiveness = One minus Cover Factor multiplied by 100%. Large scale testing conducted at Utah Water Research facility using rainfall simulator on 2.5H:1V slope, sandy-loam soil, at a rate of 5″ per hour for a duration of 60 minutes. |
