Steps
Recognize most state DOT 'approved products' or 'product acceptability' lists for erosion control (rolled erosion control products, hydraulic mulches, etc.) are published as static PDFs or web pages, not structured/queryable datasets.
For Wisconsin, use WisDOT's Erosion Control Product Acceptability List (PAL) page (wisconsindot.gov/Pages/doing-bus/eng-consultants/cnslt-rsrces/tools/pal/default.aspx); underlying documents are served from the state's CONTENTdm-based digital-document repository (wistatedocuments.org), which offers document retrieval, not a product-attribute API.
For Minnesota, use MnDOT's Approved Products - Erosion Control and Stormwater Management page (dot.state.mn.us/environment/erosion/approved-products.html), again a web/PDF list.
Plan workflows around periodic manual download-and-parse of the current PDF/page, and confirm the list's effective/revision date before citing specific approved products.
Known gotchas
No state was found to offer a genuine machine-readable erosion-control product database — treat any claim of one as unconfirmed; this is an honest-caution topic.
Product approval on one state's PAL/QPL does not transfer to another state — always check the specific state DOT's current list for the project location.
