Seeding is by far the most economical method of establishing a vegetative cover over large areas. In keeping with the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Act of 1977, the Division of Highways utilizes several types of seeded material to establish temporary and permanent erosion control.
All seed purchased by the Roadside Environmental Unit is tested for purity and germination by the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
