Application: Prevent Sediment/Trash from Entering Drain - Location: Los Angeles, CA
In this application, the long-lasting sandbags stops sediment and trash from entering into the drain. In a major city like Los Angeles, trash inevitably ends up on the street and during rain events, the trash ends up inside the storm drains. To avoid the high cost of removing sediment from the storm drain, they have installed long-lasting sandbags to prevent trash/sediment from entering the storm drain in the first place.
Important Note: Some cities & municipalities fine property owners if their properties discharge sediment during storm events if they do not install an erosion control product such as sandbags.
