Concrete block chutes provide erosion control at abrupt drops where waterways end. Local Soil Conservation Service notes one example built in Franklin County in 1991 by Norman Wooge. The method uses crushed rock, filter fabric, and a rubber cut-off trench to prevent undercutting and reduce maintenance.
