2. no need for bottom net, sewing, or gluing to hold fibers. <br /> 3. Controls temperature fluctuation of the soil. <br /> B. Documentation-Curlex has been hydraulically tested and design parameters are listed in <br /> #FHWA-Ip-87-7 Hydraulic engineering circular#15"Design of roadside channels with flexible <br /> linings <br /> 1. Engineers can justify their design based on documented research. <br /> C. Absorbs up to five times its weight in moisture and swells as it absorbs. <br /> 1. Fibers become very active as they swell and cling to the soil and vegetation to lock into place. <br /> 2. Swelling action increases height profile to provide a rough surface which will slow water flows <br /> down. <br /> 3. Does not require costly follow-through watering. <br /> D. Hygorscopic <br /> 1. Gives moisture back to plants as needed during germination. <br /> E. Neutral PH • <br /> 1. Will not heat up and burn up seed during decomposition. <br /> F. No Weed Seeds <br /> 1. Establishes vegetation free of unwanted weeds (This is very important in the growing market of <br /> residential development.). <br /> G. NO Pitch,tar, or resin <br /> 1. No Harmful substances to leach out and hamper revegetation (as pine and poplar blankets do). <br /> H. Smolder resistant <br /> 1. Will not burn or smoke from lit cigarettes. <br /> I. 50 Square yard <br /> 1. Easily handled and installed by one person. <br /> J. 8'width(X90' length) <br /> 1. Wide width is a natural for short. Wide slopes, extra wide ditch lining's or may other <br /> applications. <br /> American Excelsior VS Sod <br /> 1.Curlex is cost effective as compared to sod, usually no more than 50°%of the installed cost. <br /> 2. Curlex does not require costly watering follow though. <br /> 3. Watered sod tends to trap moisture in itself and promotes lateral root growth which leads to sun <br /> burnout of sod. Common on Steep slopes. <br /> 4. Curlex can be stored on site as used as needed. Great for emergencies. <br /> 5. Sod is more labor intensive, one truckload of curlex equals 24 truckloads of sod !! <br /> Contract Terms of Responsibility for Project Design and Maintenance. <br /> The Maintenance of the above project is the responsibility of the landowner. Susan Sumey is <br /> responsible for the maintenance of the installed project. Landview Landscaping will assist with <br /> suggestions for maintenance only. Lakeshore Protection or slope protection may be disturbed by <br /> ice action or by water runoff larger than those used in design. The Landowner, Susan Sumey has <br /> been notified of the unpredictable sources of problems for lakeshore and slope protection such as <br /> ice jacking and waterlogging. These Conditions can only be addressed by designing flexible <br /> protection and that is easy to repair or replace with a moderate maintenance effort. The above <br /> design and installation has been done to the best of the Designer's (Stephen Spartz's), <br /> knowledge, and maintenance is totally the responsibility of the Landowner(s) (Susan Sumey). <br /> I, Susan Sumey, hereby understand that the above project does not try to design against the <br /> unpredictable forces such as Icejaking and Waterlogging. I have been told of these phenomena's, <br /> and was instructed on maintenance of their measures should they occur. Stephen Spartz has <br /> discussed the above maintenance plan and has made me aware of my responsibility in this area <br />
