Roll Erosion Control Practices
RECP involve the use of natural or synthetic materials to control soil erosion and to enhance the establishment and growth of vegetation. RECP material are temporarily or permanently designed products installed in areas that are vulnerable to erosion. These products include erosion control blanket, netting, open weave textiles, and turf reinforcement mats. RECPs are installed following site preparation, seeding, trenching, deployment and staking. Once installed, RECPs stabilize disturbed areas, slow runoff velocity, reduce soil erosion, and promote vegetation growth
