 Construction areas, by definition, entail ground disturbance. Ground disturbance, as much as development necessitates it, all too frequently precipitates an unstoppable by-product: soil erosion. Stormwater runoff transports loose sediment in addition to rain on bare ground, contaminating adjacent waterways and affecting aquatic creatures. Step forward the simple but very effective silt fence as an essential line of defense against erosion and sediment control. It's permeable, easy-to-use barrier that's intended to retard runoff so sediment can settle out before it allows the water to move on down the stream. Mastering the Essentials of a Silt Fence The material is permeable to the extent that it allows water to pass through but stiff enough to exclude soil particles. Its function is not a complete resistance of the flow of water but to slow it, thus creating a ponding action at the back of the fence. This slow and steady speed makes the suspended material fall out of the water...
