The erosion control industry consists of a broad range of professions and specialties, including site engineers, consultants, regulatory agencies, earthwork and seeding contractors, erosion control product suppliers and manufacturers. The most rapidly growing segments within the industry include the Rolled Erosion Control Products (RECPs), Hydraulic Erosion Control Products (HECPs) and Sediment Retention Fiber Rolls (SRFRs) markets.

Established in 1992, the Erosion Control Technology Council (ECTC) has set its mission to be the recognized industry authority in the development of standards, testing, and installation techniques for rolled erosion control products (RECPs), hydraulic erosion control products (HECPs) and sediment retention fiber rolls (SRFRs). ECTC promotes the use of RECPs, HECPs and SRFRs through education and industry leadership, and assists specifying agencies, engineers, designers and other interested individuals and organizations in the proper application of products and establishment of testing standards.

The Erosion Control Technology Council (ECTC) is committed to promoting cost-effective erosion and sediment control solutions through leadership, standardization and education. ECTC assists agencies, engineers, designers, contractors and other entities in the proper application, installation and specification of erosion control technologies while establishing guidelines for product quality, testing and performance.

ECTC's mission has grown even more important as new end-users look for guidance in employing RECPs, HECPs and SRFRs to comply with more stringent erosion/sediment control regulations.

ECTC is armed with a great deal of knowledge, experience and expertise through its diverse membership, well positioning ECTC to assist regulatory agencies in specification development, educate engineers and contractors on effective erosion and sediment control practices, and promote the proper use of RECPs, HECPs and SRFRs in combating the cumulative and detrimental effects of erosion on our environment.
