Erosion Eel Fights Erosion, Cleans Water - by Denny Hastings
Denny Hastings' revolutionary product is the Erosion Eel. The Erosion Eel is a fabric tube filled with rubber and/or wood chips. The Eel is used at construction sites to prevent eroded soils from entering the water system by filtering soil as water passes through it.
