Sediment/Erosion/Perimeter Control Devices and Methods of Making and Using the Same

A method of using a system that includes a convertible silt fence/scour pad and a wattle 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 method comprising deploying the convertible silt fence/scour pad and the wattle in the field as a single unit selectively in either:

• a first orientation in which 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;
• or
• a second orientation in which 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.

A system comprising:

• a silt fence;
• and
• a wattle integrated with the silt fence such that the silt fence and the wattle are an integrated, singular, or unitary product.

A system comprising:

• a scour pad;
• and
• a wattle integrated with the scour pad such that the scour pad and the wattle are an integrated, singular, or unitary product.
