Filter Socks Are Essential to Protecting Local Water
Jobsites can expose soil, loosening particles that can be carried away by rain and erosion. To help control this, Varsity uses erosion control socks. How are they used?
- Perimeter sediment control
- Check dams for swales and ditches
- Temporary storm drain protection
- Slope interruption
- Use on paved, compacted, or tree-rooted areas where trenching is not possible
- Protection of sensitive habitats, wetlands, water bodies and ecosystems
The Compost Filter Mulch Sock
This is a tubular mesh sleeve that contains a special, natural compost blend that filters water passing through it to prevent the spread of sediments, nutrients, bacteria, heavy metals, and petroleum hydrocarbons. The socks are usually composed of recycled materials and bio-based materials that are native to the area.
Advantages
Construction filter socks are versatile and can be customized depending on how and when they are used. No trenching is required, which means their use does not disturb soils or plants. They can be seeded when they are installed to increase filtration and enhance ecosystem restoration.
