RCP: descript and purp temp or perm erosion control blankets that act as soils
stabilization devices to protect diet areas from erosions.
RCP: object 1) erosion control
2) runoff control
3) post construct
RCP: target pollutants 1) sediment
RCP: applications 1) on slopes w/ potential for erosion
2) flow velocity reduction
3) temp channel stab
4) soil/rip-rap seperator
5) soil stabi
6) aid in germination
,7) increase soil infiltration
8) stockpile protect
RCP: limitations 1) ped and vehic hazard
2) not for use in rocky, established veg will be mowed and high fire
3) blankets dislocated easily
4) uv degradable
5) small animals can be trapped
RCP: imp consid 1) material depends on site
2) soils should be prop prepared
3) instal per manufact recommedations.
RCP: inspect 1) sufficient staples
2) provide anchoring and overlap
3) insure direct contact with soil surface
4) no rips or tears
5) verify rcp meets plan/swpp specifications.
,RCP: Maint 1) direct contact with recp and soil
2) repair/reinstall where needed
3) repair rills or gullies
4) replace staples where needed
5) material may get entangled in mowers
RCP: potential assoc bmps 1) seeding
2) swales
3) filter strips
4) diversions
Bmps used for erosion control 1) hydromulch
2) Hydroseed
3) Mulching
4) RECP

9) tackifiers
What are best management practices? 1) site planning and management
2) erosion controls
3) sediment controls
4) runoff controls
5) good housekeeping/ materials management
6) post construct management
Bmps designed for sediment control 1) baffles
