0:47 – What material is used to fill the SOX?
2:18 – How do you decide when the material can be used from the lake or not? Is it related to quality or quantity?
4:20 – What kind of permits need to be obtained for shoreline stabilization? Does the SOX product meet regulatory requirements?
7:22 – Is the SOX system suitable for northern climates? Will it stand up to ice?
8:19 – Can the SOX system be used in a preventative function rather than restoration?
9:55 – Does the SOX system stay in place permanently?
10:48 – If we have invested a lot of money into vegetation along the shoreline, with the SOX system, can we salvage it?
13:46 – If you plant bullrush or marsh grasses, along the shoreline then how can you be confident that they won’t grow out into the lake, turning the lake into a marsh?
15:25 – Is there a water quality concern with using dredged material to fill the SOX? Does it stir up phosphorus?
17:48 – How deep do the stakes go for the SOX systems and what are they made of? And what happens to the stakes and rope over time?
21:56 – Will the SOX material allow drainage pipes to be placed through it?
24:02 – Do you do plantings that extend into the water and not just on the shoreline?
26:20 – After the life of the product can a new SOX system be installed over the old one, or would it need to be removed and replaced?
27:30 – How well does the sock hold up to the wakes caused by water sport boat traffic (water skiing, wakeboarding, wake surfing)?
29:38 – Is SOX biodegradable? How safe is it for the environment?
31:31 – My erosion is on a hill that is very rocky with lots of clay. Would one first put down topsoil and place the sox material over it to hold it in place?
33:03 – Can Armored Catfish burrow under the SOX?
35:53 – Are there good vegetative plants that can survive flooding most of the year?
37:00 – When you have a pond that is fed by natural springs would vegetation be preferred over SOX, or does it not matter?
38:59 – Can the land behind the SOX erode over time?
