The present invention relates to an erosion control apparatus and methods of using and installing the apparatus. The apparatus is constructed to prevent erosion of soil during typical weather or tidal conditions and adverse weather events. The apparatus can include a plurality of anchored rolls and soil lifts operative to stabilize the shoreline.

A bio-friendly water flow control system can include a portable structure adapted to contain organic waste material. The water flow control system can be configured for deployment outdoors to guide water flow to limit erosion. A portable structure of such a system can include a sheath that is configured to contain waste material within an interior of the sheath. The portable structure may be configured to allow a flow of water into the interior of the sheath. The portable structure may include a waste material that includes processed palm frond particles. The portable structure may be configured to absorb a weight of water at least 50% greater than a dry weight of the portable structure.

The invention provides components, structures, methods, and assemblies for controlling sedimentation and debris flow associated with soil erosion. The invention also provides components, structures, methods, and assemblies that are useful for anchoring fiber rolls along a sloped surface.

A compost filter sock assembly comprising a filter sock and compost filter anchor system comprising one of i) an interconnected series of compost filter sock anchors alternating on the downstream and upstream side of the filter sock, wherein the compost filter sock anchors are interconnected with strapping between adjacent compost filter sock anchors on opposed sides of the filter sock such that the strap traverses the filter sock; or ii) a downstream wooden stake having a fin coupled thereto that extends laterally on both sides of the wooden stake.

A system for stabilization of a shoreline includes a plurality of stakes and a flexible sheet switchable between an open configuration and a folded configuration. The sheet has a first edge and a second edge, each edge includes a channel in which an anchoring rope running through. An organic material is disposed in a body region of the flexible sheet when the sheet is in the folded configuration. The first edge and second edge are secured to the plurality of stakes by the anchoring ropes.

A fiber block system suitable for controlling erosion and stabilizing soil is described that comprises a fiber block formed of a densely packed natural fibers and having an apron extending therefrom, wherein the apron is formed of the same natural fibers. The fiber block and apron are enclosed in a sleeve of fiber mesh and ties are disposed in the fiber block and connect to the sleeve. The fiber block, mesh, and ties can be made of coir fibers.

The invention provides components, structures, methods, and assemblies for controlling sedimentation and debris flow associated with soil erosion. The invention also provides components, structures, methods, and assemblies that are useful for anchoring fiber rolls along a sloped surface.

A river course ecological treatment system for use in a river includes a plurality of plastic retaining dams disposed in the river that receive and divide the river course into sequential retaining regions arranged in a direction from upstream to downstream; a plurality of ecological biological water purification systems disposed in the sequential retaining regions and each ecological biological water purification system being located between any two adjacent plastic retaining dams of the plurality of plastic retaining dams to purify water within the sequential retaining regions and discharge purified water; and at least one damp land ecological water purification system that is disposed beside the river and that includes a rainwater channel disposed along the river; aquatic plants disposed in the rainwater channel are effective to purify water flowing within the rainwater channel; and draining vents provided in the rainwater channel that discharge purified water into the river course.
