<p>Facilities that receive surface inflow (e.g. [[Bioretention]]) are vulnerable to surface erosion and the formation of rivulets. [[Green roofs]] can lose exposed planting material from wind scour. These soure of erosion should be mitigated by using erosion control blankets. </p>
<p>Blankets which incorporate a non-biodegradable plastic mesh become unsightly when vegetation emerges in summers following installation. Even before vegetation lifts the mesh, it can snare and kill any passing small wildlife.</p>
<p>Alternatives including 100% biodegrade blankets or soil tackifiers are recommended for erosion control in and around LID facilities.</p>
