Description Erosion Control Material (ECM) is a natural, sustainable, and conservation-approved product made entirely from pure stump grindings — not brush, logs, or debris. This coarse, fibrous mix is used as an eco-friendly alternative to traditional silt fence installations on construction or landscape sites. Instead of installing and later removing costly fencing, ECM can be spread directly around the site perimeter to filter silt and sediment while allowing clean water to flow through. Once your project is complete, the material can simply be blended back into the soil — no removal, disposal, or landfill waste required. Why Choose ECM ✅ Conservation Committee Approved — Recognized as a compliant erosion control method in place of silt fencing in many areas �� 100% Natural & Biodegradable — Made from clean stump grindings, sustainably processed on-site �� Effective Filtration — Chunky texture captures sediment while maintaining drainage �� Cost-Effective & Low Maintenance — No fence removal, storage, or disposal costs �� Locally Recycled — Processed from Cape Cod’s own forestry operations, supporting a closed-loop recycling system ��️ Applications Site perimeter erosion control Construction access points Driveway or yard stabilization Roadway edge stabilization Temporary drainage areas ⚙️ Technical Notes for Contractors & Engineers Product Abbreviation: ECM (Erosion Control Material) Composition: 100% stump grindings (no brush or logs) Typical Installation Depth: 4–6 inches Typical Width: 3–4 feet along the perimeter Use in place of: silt fence or hay bales where conservation-approved Fully compostable; may be spread into soil after project completion
