Silt fence consists of geotextile fabric supported by wire mesh netting or other
backing stretched between either wooden or metal posts with the lower edge of the
fabric securely embedded 6" in the soil. The fence is typically located downstream of
the disturbed areas to intercept runoff in the form of sheet flow.
A silt fence provides both filtration and time for sediment settling by reducing the
velocity of the runoff.
Benefits: Silt fence is an economical means to treat overland, non-concentrated flows for all types of projects. Most effective with course to silty soil types.
