I'm always excited at the opportunity to write this column in Geosynthetics magazine on behalf of the industry, but this issue's focus on erosion control is extra special because "it's in our name": Erosion Control Technology Council (ECTC). ECTC is a leading industry organization whose members are dedicated to advancing the knowledge, experience and expertise of erosion and sediment control. The nonprofit organization's mission is to develop performance standards, uniform testing procedures and guidance on the application and installation of hydraulic erosion control products (HECPs), rolled erosion control products (RECPs) and sediment retention fiber rolls (SRFRs). ECTC recently expanded its reach to other technologies as well, and it promotes the use of erosion and sediment control products through industry leadership and education in the hope of making a substantial contribution to the science of erosion control and environmental preservation. |
