FILTREXX WEBINAR PRESENTER
Dr. Britt Faucette, Ph.D.
Director of Research & Technical Services at Filtrexx
Dr. Britt Faucette, Ph.D., is an Ecosystem Scientist, CPESC, and LEED AP. He earned his Ph.D. from the Odom School of Ecology at the University of Georgia where he researched soil-water-plant performances of various BMPs used in soil erosion and stormwater management applications; served as a state specialist in storm water management, organics recycling, and pollution prevention programs; and served as an adjunct professor. Britt coordinates research, design, and training services for the stormwater and organic materials management industries and serves on technical committees and boards with ASTM, GRHC, CCREF, and IECA. In 2008 he was awarded the annual USCC Clean Water Award. Britt has authored numerous peer-reviewed and popular press publications and popular press articles, 2 books, federal and state specifications, and has been awarded nearly $500,000 in research grants.
Meet Britt at one of the Sediment Control, Stormwater Management, and Pollutant Removal webinars.

SEDIMENT CONTROL
Interested in compost-based sediment control systems and need to know more? This one-hour webinar reviews the latest performance research, technical specifications, and design criteria for Filtrexx sediment control applications, including perimeter control, inlet protection, check dams, sediment traps, slope interruption, and bio-filtration applications.
Learn:
• How and why compost removes sediment from runoff
• How this material is used in a variety of applications
• About research from universities on how this technology performs
• How to access specifications of these practices for your projects
SEDIMENT CONTROL - WEBINAR VIDEO
POLLUTANT REMOVAL
This one-hour webinar demonstrates how compost-based Best Management Practices (BMPs) can dramatically reduce sediment and targeted pollutants from stormwater with Filtrexx EnviroSoxx®. EnviroSoxx consist of sediment control devices with one or more natural additives used to remove invisible pollutants.
Learn how EnviroSoxx can:
- Remove up to 99% of coliform bacteria with BactoLoxx®
- Remove up to 73% of heavy metals with MetalLoxx®
- Remove up to 92% of nutrients with NutriLoxx®
- Remove up to 99% of hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, and motor oil) with PetroLoxx®
POLLUTANT REMOVAL - WEBINAR VIDEO
LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT
Are you concerned with the restoration and protection of vital water ways? Do you want to help reduce pollution in your local watershed? Help is at hand! Attend this FREE information-packed webinar on post-construction water quality treatment. Learn about the latest research and how to design and implement our Treatment Train™ products to reduce urban and post-construction storm water pollutants.
See how to:
- Reduce turbidity and TSS
- Naturally absorb hydrocarbons from urban runoff
- Remove harmful bacteria from combined sewers, pet parks, and agriculture
- Reduce phosphorus and nitrogen
- Filter particulate and soluble heavy metals
LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT - WEBINAR VIDEO
LEED/GREEN BUILDING
Attend this one-hour webinar to learn the basics of the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating and Certification program and how Filtrexx products are being used to maximize credit accrual. This webinar will focus on the basics of the LEED program, and how and where compost Best Management Practices (BMPs) fit into the LEED rating systems.
Learn:
- What green building and LEED is all about
- Which credit categories compost-BMPs fit within and how they can lead to point accrual
- About a LEED Platinum project that utilized compost-BMPs

SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS FOR BANK & SLOPE RESTORATION
Sustainable solutions for bank & slope restoration allow for the stabilization of eroded or damaged slopes, riparian waterways, and shoreline banks while creating attractive, vegetated landscapes without the use of hard materials such as concrete. In this one-hour webinar, learn about various restoration and stabilization applications, and review completed projects.
BANK & SLOPE RESTORATION - WEBINAR VIDEO
USING ORGANICS FOR COASTAL RESILIENCY
In this one hour webinar, learn about the use of organics as part of
creating a resilient coastal environment. Explore the impact of
restoration applications from upland to coastline. Living Shorelines
systems are alternative shoreline stabilization techniques that help
maintain the natural interface between land and water while preserving
the habitat, protecting the environment and enhancing coastal resilience
to reduce erosion. Living Shoreline restoration applications mimic
nature, utilizing locally available, sustainable materials.
