About Fiber Rolls

Fiber rolls (or straw wattles) are very effective for sediment control. They reduce the rate of water flow, simultaneously absorbing water and filtering sediment. When used for temporary sediment retention, fiber rolls can reduce off-site sedimentation by:

• Providing storm drain inlet protection
• Directing runoff water to retention and detention devices
• Reducing water velocities in areas of concentrated flow, such as waterways and swales, when installed as check structures
• Functioning as an alternative to silt fence for perimeter sediment control

Advantages to fiber rolls:

• Install more easily, particularly in shallow soils and rocky material
• Are more adaptable to slope applications and contour installations
• Blend in with the landscape and are less obtrusive
• Do not obstruct hydraulic mulch and seed applications
• May be removed or left in place following establishment of vegetation
