Is there anyplace that routinely generates test data for erosion control products or procedures (i.e., different kinds of materials for matting, planting techniques, different kinds of grasses, and so on)? Specifically, a lab that actually deploys these products and procedures to a "real-world" testbed, outside on a parcel of land somewhere, and then either sprays water on them or waits for rainfall.

Also, is there a similar facility that tests sedimentation control structures?

Thanks in advance.

I can't cite you a reference, but I remember downloading some reports from the Texas DOT site.

There is some data that has been produced by the Minnesota Erosion Control Association.  Check their site

You might try looking into (or contacting) the Erosion Control Technology Council at http://www.ectc.org/about/index.html

Other than that, many states (in addition to the reference to Texas, above) evaluate erosion control measures.  Unfortunately, I think you'll have to contact each one individually to see what they're doing.

You could visit our web site~  www.scourcontrol.co.uk
for general information on our buoyant frond systems which by the creation of viscous drag stop erosion of the seabed or river bed and build up sediment banks in the fronds.

I would also contact either the Erosion Control Technology council or the International Erosion Control Association.  The reference to the Texas DOT is probably the TRI (Texas Research Institute) where many of the erosion blanket producers have their materials evaluated.  Your other option might be to contact your local CPESC (Certified Professional of Erosion and Sediment Control) as he may have additional information.  There has been a lot of research done in recent years and information should be fairly easy to find.

Dr. Rich McLaughlin, North Carolina State University Department of Soil Science, has conducted research at the Sediment and Erosion Control Research and Education Facility on many of the techiques structures and producuts available.
