Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of sediment/erosion/perimeter control devices and methods of making and using the same. In exemplary embodiments, a sediment/erosion/perimeter control device (e.g., a wattle, etc.) comprises a material configured such that the sediment/erosion/perimeter control device is reconfigurable between at least a first configuration and a second configuration. In the first configuration, the sediment/erosion/perimeter control device has a first size, shape, volume, and/or weight. In the second configuration, the sediment/erosion/perimeter control device has a second size, shape, volume, and/or weight substantially larger than the corresponding first size, shape, volume, and/or weight that the sediment/erosion/perimeter control device has in the first configuration.
Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of sediment/erosion/perimeter control devices and methods of making and using the same. In exemplary embodiments, a system comprises a convertible silt fence/scour pad and a wattle. The wattle is integrated with the convertible silt fence/scour pad such that the convertible silt fence/scour pad and the wattle are an integrated, singular, or unitary product. The convertible silt fence/scour pad is deployable in at least a first orientation and a second orientation. In the first orientation, the convertible silt fence/scour pad is generally vertical and/or generally perpendicular relative to the ground or other surface supporting the wattle, whereby the convertible silt fence/scour pad is operable primarily as a silt fence. In the second orientation, the convertible silt fence/scour pad is generally horizontal and/or generally parallel relative to the ground or other surface supporting the wattle, whereby the convertible silt fence/scour pad is operable primarily as a scour pad.
