Response #2:
On ECL-1 your attention is directed to the "EROSION CONTROL TYPE 1" and "EROSION CONTROL TYPE 2" sequence charts shown on ECL-1. In reference to "EC TYPE 1" AND "EC TYPE 2" written in FIBER ROLLS SEQUENCE CHART. "EC TYPE 1" refers to "EROSION CONTROL TYPE 1" and "EC TYPE 2" refers to "EROSION CONTROL TYPE 2". This is not to be confused with "FIBER ROLL" Installation "TYPE 1" or "TYPE 2". Fiber roll installation Type is not specified, therefore either type will be acceptable for this project.
