MECA 2014 CONFERENCE March 4th-6th, 2014 Mystic Lake Conference Center Prior Lake, Minnesota The Minnesota Erosion Control Association (MECA) is devoted to helping solve problems caused by erosion. MECA strives to communicate erosion and sediment control techniques and practices and encourage the use of those practices. We are proud to be able to bring people together from across the state to share ideas, solutions and success stories! The MECA Conference brings you the unique opportunity to interact with colleagues who have also dedicated their professional lives to erosion control, stormwater management and natural resource protection. How do you register for this educational event? Go to and click on the conference registration link.
2 P A G E 2 V O L U M E 2 1, I S S U E 3 Message from the MECA President, Mr. Greg Berg Happy New Year to the MECA organization. I am looking forward to another great year in the erosion control and stormwater profession. As you may have seen we are charging forward with the new administration and work of Ruth Kraemer. Many workshops, notices, informational publications, etc. have been shared thru MECA and we hope to keep bringing more.. One initiative to keep a watch out for is the calendar of upcoming events. Ruth has helped guide the board into developing a calendar of activities for the year. At the December 2013 MECA Board meeting the group took some time to list the upcoming programs and workshops. This is a guideline and can always be modified, but is meant to inform you of what is being worked on so you can better plan and get involved if you would like. Obviously if you have additional ideas that you would like MECA to explore, please feel to bring them up with Ruth or a board member. Well, back to the metro area for the 2014 MECA Annual Conference, which will be held at the Mystic Lake Conference Center in Prior Lake. As always, we hope to see you at the conference, and for those with restrictions on traveling outside of the metro area, we hope to have you back after holding the event outside the metro the past couple of years. The MECA Conference Planning Committee has put together another outstanding conference lineup of topics and speakers. We are excited to have Don Shelby join us as the keynote speaker this year. It seems the building industry with associated erosion control and stormwater projects are making a comeback. I talked to several folks this past year that said there were very busy. That is great news after some down years. As a MECA member I want to challenge you to tell someone else about the organization in I think of all of the people I have met and things I have learned thru MECA events. We are very fortunate to have such a great network of people working towards the same goals. One goal of MECA has always been to get contractors more involved. If you have contacts and/or ideas on how to make this happen, Ruth and the MECA Board would welcome your ideas. Take care and keep in touch! Greg Berg MECA President Erosion & Sediment Control Videos With funding provided by the Minnehaha Creek Watershed District (MCWD), MECA has created a series of short videos on erosion and sediment control practices. The following videos were filmed this summer and fall: Stabilizing Soils (Erosion Control) Concrete Washout & Dewatering Best Management Practices & Good Housekeeping The videos are available on the MECA web site: Perimeter Control Inlet Protection E R O S I O N M A T T E R S

This erosive steep slope along 600 feet of shoreline on the Sauk River had areas that were up to 30 feet straight up and down. The landowners approached the Stearns County SWCD for technical and financial assistance to address the slope failure. The Stearns County SWCD, along with the West Central Technical Service Area, designed a low impact approach to stabilizing the streambank. This involved using field stone rock for stream barbs and rock riprap, toe wood, root wads from the trees that had to be removed, and cedar tree revetments. In addition, after the slope was re-graded, native grasses and wildflowers were seeded and planted from plugs. Trees and shrubs were also planted from potted stock. The entire site was hydro mulched or covered with erosion control blanket to ensure stabilization. Sediment logs were also placed on the slope to reduce the impact from surface water runoff.

6 V O L U M E 2 1, I S S U E 3 P A G E 6 NEW PRODUCT INFORMATION A new erosion control/re-vegetation spray-on product EarthGuard Fiber Matrix. EarthGuard has recently been introduced and may be used in place of erosion control blankets. EarthGuard can be utilized in various manners: 1) Site Winterization/Dormant Seeding: Used with or without seed, EarthGuard can be applied to bare slopes, stock piles and drilling pads to provide erosion control protection during the winter season (a Construction BMP). 2) Re-Vegetation: EarthGuard will hold the soil, fertilizer, mulch and seed an extended period of time giving seeds the vital time necessary to properly germinate and grow. EarthGuard does not create a hardened crust on the surface preventing growth either. 3) Temporary Erosion Control: By adjusting application rates, EarthGuard can be applied in a manner with or without fiber mulch to provide erosion control for a reduced period of time. To learn more about this new product, please visit the following web sites: Short 10 min.
