Environmental Amelioration with Improved EC Fiber Bags and Processes Particularly Useful for Mitigation of Erosion in Challenged Areas

Abstract

Improved EC Types of fiber bags drives minimum negative environment impact with installation, up to at least tertiary level adverse water or rain events do not substantially degrade the mechanical integrity or erosion mitigating impact of structures or landscapes ameliorated on a long term basis or mitigated from hazard to acceptable levels and compliance with regulatory and cost structures for said system are maintained more efficiently than known systems, as maintained for examples in special purpose processing or computing media.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A novel enhanced system for amelioration of environmentally sensitive areas, which comprises, in combination:
 rapid assessment of a site in order to stop further erosion and divert or slow any further water flow, and to repair compromised extant structures (for example straw wattles) without damaging the establishing plant material;   providing improved fiber bags effective for silt collection and erosion mitigation;   preparing and filling the improved fiber bags on site;   bolstering compromised extant structures by sub-adjacent placement of fiber bags on flow line of existing erosion rills;   supplementing the structure by spacing of fiber bag check dams, along the compromised structures and between them vertical to erosion rils;   repeating any of the above steps as necessary with or without seed mixtures.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising Preparing and Filling the improved fiber bags on site, by having them filled on hillside with mixed materials hydraulically pumped through hose using hydroseeder machine, namely using hydraulic means or functional equivalents. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , installing the improved fiber bags on site after filling them. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , whereby a safe distance is established between the area or site being treated and the means for transporting the fiber bags to said zone, whereby electronic records of the same are maintained. 
     
     
         5 . Improved fiber bags, comprising, in combination:
 an assembly of burlap-type of bag or a functionally equivalent fabric material further comprising a top and a bottom side (at least two layers) joined at seams defining an open receptacle having aperture in a first namely open position;   whereby when filled with contents to a desired level, the assembly is finished by joining and closing said aperture by eliminating said aperture by joining the top and bottom sides in a second namely closed position.   
     
     
         6 . The improved fiber bags as defined in  claim 5 , hydraulically mixed.

 At least Wood Fiber Mulch and Organic M-Binder.   
     
     
         8 . The improved fiber bags defined by  claim 7 , further comprising:
 At least one material from the group consisting of —   Wood fiber, paper fiber, and compost.   
     
     
         9 . The improved fiber bags defined by  claim 8 , further comprising:
 Any other material which is able to be hydraulic process filled into said bags.   
     
     
         10 . The improved fiber bags defined by  claim 9 , further comprising:
 any other material which is able to be filled into said bags.   
     
     
         11 . A process for implementing environmental amelioration using improved EC fiber bags, comprising, in combination;
 minimum negative environment impact happens with installation;   multiple several adverse water or rain events do not substantially degrade the mechanical integrity or erosion mitigating impact of structures or landscapes ameliorated thereby; and   compliance with regulatory and cost structures for said system are maintained more efficiently than known systems, including with special purpose processing and computing media.   
     
     
         12 . The process for implementing environmental amelioration using improved EC fiber bags, further comprising:
 Exclusive use of materials already approved for use by the U.S. Forest Service.   
     
     
         13 . The process for implementing environmental amelioration using improved EC fiber bags, further comprising:
 Enhanced repair and control erosion of native soil to facilitate restoration of the native plant material.   
     
     
         14 . Improved EC type of fiber bags, comprising, in combination:
 non-toxic, biodegradable materials for use in environmentally sensitive areas:   the ability to be readily deployed or removed via access remote or difficult site conditions with minimal impact including without the need to use heavy equipment; and   effective erosion and sediment protection on on sites as installed.   
     
     
         15 . Improved EC type of fiber bags, as defined in  claim 14 , comprising:
 Any size or scale of empty vessel, effective to receive fill materials, and be lodged and/or emplaced to ameliorate or mitigate challenged environmental areas.   
     
     
         16 . Improved EC type of fiber bags, as defined in  claim 15 , comprising:

         17 . Improved EC type of fiber bags, as defined in  claim 16 , comprising:
 Any size or scale of empty vessel, effective to receive fill materials, and be lodged and/or emplaced to ameliorate or mitigate challenged environmental areas, being hydraulically pumped through hose using a hydroseeder machine, and associated and applied hardware and software.   
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 4 , managed by an application for personal microelectronic interfacing or usages including interface apparatus from the groups of smart-tablets/devices/phone/cell phones used by any known or later developed platforms, wireless and recognized protocols including being accomplished in a manner similar to Bluetooth, 802.11 WiFi, SONAR, UltraSound or other wireless communications protocols.
