Line 1: *Facilities that receive surface inflow (e.g. [[Bioretention cells]]) are vulnerable to surface erosion and the formation of rivulets. [[Green roofs]] can lose exposed planting material from wind scour. These source of erosion should be mitigated by using erosion control blankets.

Facilities that receive surface inflow (e.g. [[bioretention]]) are vulnerable to surface erosion and the formation of rivulets. [[Green roofs]] can lose exposed planting material from wind scour. These source of erosion should be mitigated by using erosion control blankets:
*Blankets which incorporate a plastic mesh often become unsightly when vegetation emerges in summers following installation. Even before vegetation lifts the mesh, it can snare and kill any passing small wildlife.

*Alternatives including 100% biodegradable blankets or soil tackifiers are recommended for erosion control on and around LID facilities.
