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®

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.
