Erosion control design for difficult sites such as landfills, mines, and landslides.

  Erosion control research studies.

  Erosion control technical training courses.

  Biotechnical engineering design and implementation.

  Streambank stabilization design and implementation.

  Slope stabilization design (erosion control).

  Erosion control design manuals w/CAD drawings.

One of our primary goals is to provide clients with design solutions that have proven to be effective - for the lowest cost.  Salix, in coordination with the International Erosion Control Association and other erosion control specialists across the country, has developed erosion control Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are now being used at sites throughout the United States and Canada.  Our involvement in research and development of Best Available Technologies (BATs) results in better erosion control design and implementation.  We provide erosion control and watershed restoration technical training sessions for private and public entities.

John McCullah, owner and president of Salix, is a Certified Professional in Erosion and Sediment Control (CPESC) since 1988, and has over 16 years experience in erosion control and watershed restoration.  John has developed "Erosion Draw", a comprehensive manual of BMP specifications with typical drawings, and also "Bio Draw", a manual of bioengineering techniques with typical drawings.  He is the instructor of the Watershed Restoration Practicum course at Shasta College and he teaches professional development and technical training courses entitled "How To Put the BEST Back Into Your Best Management Practices" and "Biotechnical Erosion Control for Slopes and Streambanks."  John is also the founder of the Sacramento Watersheds Action Group (SWAG), a 501 (c) (3) non-profit public benefit corporation.
