GeoHay does some house cleaning for the Darter Fish Habitat

In a tiny spring in Whitfield County, some unusual partners are at work giving a second annual housecleaning to the home of a rare fish.
The carpet industry, the Tennessee Aquarium Conservation Institute, the Conasauga River Alliance and the Georgia Department of Natural Resources have joined forces to catch just over 200 coldwater darters -- a 21/2-inch fish that lives in only about a dozen springs in the world. Their home, Colvard Spring near Varnell, is one of the three largest populations in the fishes' tri-state universe of 12 to 15 streams.
After about a monthlong vacation while silt is vacuumed from their spring, the fish will be brought back to the spiffed-up home.
To accomplish this not-so-simple feat, the silt-laden water pumped out of the spring is spewed onto a nearby farm field, then filtered through old, discarded carpet while gravity runs the water back to the spring.
Yes, used carpet -- reinvented.

GeoHay used in Great Smokey Mountains
INMAN, SC (September 03, 2010) - In a move that will help the environment both within and beyond park boundaries, the U.S National Park Service has approved the use of a unique erosion control product made from discarded carpet for the contractor who performed a roadway construction project in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Installed along a six mile section of the Foothills Parkway in Cocke County, Tennessee that is undergoing pavement improvements, GeoHay acts as an inlet filter to prevent erosion pollution as a result of the project. Proper erosion control prevents unwanted sediments from entering the park's streams and rivers, while preserving valuable topsoil, vital to healthy vegetation growth, from being washed away.

Walton County has reported minimal impacts from a moderate amount of small tar balls around Topsail Hill State Preserve.
