"Mr John Dawson (of Pacific Erosion Control Systems, Ltd.) provided the logistical expertise needed for this project (Hayman Fire). He not only prepared the contract proposal, but also coordinated all staging area activity including product acquisition and sequencing, training, supervising labor crews and providing most of the needed equipment.

Mr Dawson obviously has many years of experience and the ability to make complex projects work well".

"This program involved the hydroseeding of approximately 750 acres (300 hectares) of landslides; the crew was able to maintain a rate of production that maximized use of the two helicopters, which were on site. Random checks on the ground confirmed that the product (seed, fertilizer, mulch, and tackifier) reached the target areas in a uniform manner at the specified rate of application."

"In the Escalante watershed, road access is impossible in many areas; in order to carry out this program efficiently, a portable mixing and dispensing unit was used to significantly reduce costs and increase production while still maintaining good results. The entire operation was carried out in a professional and efficient manner; with the cost per hectare being far less than initially predicted. "

"On July 3 and 4, I was able to inspect some aerial hydraseeding that was done between June 19 and 21. The germinates are 2-3 inches high and are growing well, with new germinates starting to show. The fiber matrix is continuing to cling to the slide on all slopes (slide is at +/- 80%) even though the area has experienced heavy periods of rain since application. Thank you for an efficient operation in Doc Creek. Results speak for themselves."
