INSTALLATION
1.
Dig 12-inch

can be used to loosen dirt and roots.

4.
Place 1 to
2-inches of dirt on apron and compact with your feet.
5.
For natural
channel areas on slopes, run the wattle slightly uphill into the channel (this will
direct the water and sediment over more wattle length, reducing sediment overflow).

two wattles, place end of second wattle inside sleeve of first wattle and
straighten both aprons.
[See figure]. Pull sleeve tightly over
second wattle and staple
in two places (through sleeve and both aprons).

To cut wattle,
shake stuffing from desired cut location, insert two cable ties through
inside of apron and around wattle about 6-inches apart and tighten. Cut fabric with
scissors and seal cut fabric with a lighter
or torch.
8.
For concrete
truck washout area, place wattle in a circle.
MAINTENANCE
1.
Repair cuts
with caulk.
2.
Inspect and
clean out excess sediment after each runoff event.

If channeling
occurs under the wattle, fill channel, re-staple apron and replace and
compact dirt over apron.
4.
Dispose of
wattle properly if broken, deteriorated or no longer needed.
REMOVAL / RE-USE
