This would not have been my choice as a berm for quarry spalls; straw wattles are too light to use on asphalt and they allow water to flow under them. A compost sock, being heavy, would work better, though, they are prone to tearing. An asphalt berm might be best here.

This straw wattle on a slope stops rills before they can completely form.
Dirt from trench excavation loaded into front loader bucket and hauled to stockpile, or dirt side cast onto asphalt: which is cheaper? How about no sweeper needed, no dirty water going down the drain, asphalt kept clean? I go with the first answer.
How to inspect sand bag check dams.
I saw this fancy rock entrance on the way to work and thought it was amusing on the surface. Really, though, I think they needed the elevation to access the upper part of the site. That’s a nice mini excavator.
Just a nice dirt pile in Denver. Walking around between presentations at the International Erosion Control Conference in February 2019 and saw this. A little utility work in the street, going to reuse the excavated dirt, placed it on plastic, put some berms around base, no rain in the forecast and the dire goes back in the hole later in the day so no need for cover.
