EVALUATION OF MIRAMAT EROSION CONTROL FABRIC. PROJECT BRS 0037(2). FINAL REPORT
Miramat, a plastic erosion control mat, was installed in a roadside irrigation ditch in eastern Colorado. Its effectiveness at preventing erosion and allowing revegetation was evaluated over a two-year period. The mat performed comparably to other plastic erosion-control mats. It effectively provided for revegetation and erosion control. This information will be compared to that of other erosion-control techniques to help choose the most cost-effective methods for future projects.
