Sediment Filter Bags

The Silt Bag is designed to filter water as it is pumped from a storage site, removing hazardous materials such as silt before they can damage the environment. The silt bag is an economical choice for preventing costly clean up of a storm water system. The potential liability from adding silt to an aquatic ecosystem makes the silt bag a valuable environmental protection tool.

Silt Bags are available in the following sizes: 4' x 6', 7.5' x 15' and 15' x 15'.

Silt Fencing

A Silt Fence is a temporary silt control device that helps to prevent the loss of silts from a site during rain, or other run-off events. Silt Fences are temporary silt control devices that are designed to prevent the release of silt from a construction site. Silt fences prevent silt contamination of sensitive areas such as neighboring properties, streams, and sewer catch basins. A properly installed and maintained silt fence will collect silts before they can cause contamination requiring expensive clean up.

Typical silt fences are 3 ft high X 100 ft long with 4 ft stakes for anchoring.

Green Silt Fencing

The green color is more aesthetically appealing and provides a better visual barrier than the traditional black colored silt fence. Green Silt Fence is made from a polypropylene fabric with reinforcing strips for added strength. This Green Silt fence is available in two styles; un-supported in rolls 3' x 100' c/w wood stakes installed every 6' o.c. and a reinforced product that is supported with a 14 gauge steel wire.

Typical applications of Green Silt Fence are; below the toe of exposed and erodible slopes, down-slope of exposed soil areas, around stockpiles, along streams and channels and along the perimeter of a project site.

Wire- Backed Silt Fencing

The reinforced Wire Back Silt Fence is held vertical with 5' steel T Posts that are sold separately.

Roll sizes come 100' in length and have 48" wide fabric making it ideal for sites with ground irregularities.

Turbidity Curtains and Barriers

Floating turbidity barriers or curtains are barriers that control suspended solids and turbidity in a water column generated by dredging and disposal of dredged material. They are considered to be the last line of defense against sediment migration into nearby marine environment.

A floating turbidity barrier may be a permeable or an impermeable device used to isolate the near shore work area and to confine the sediment entering into a body of water. These devices may be deployed in areas where sediment discharge to a stream is unavoidable.

The curtains are designed to effectively deflect and contain sediment within a limited area and to provide sufficient retention time for the sediment particles to settle in the bottom of the reservoir.

Floating Silt Curtains

Floating Silt Curtain (FSC) often referred to as Turbidity Curtains provide an effective and price sensitive system for isolating silt or other hazardous materials while working in an aquatic ecosystem

Standard FSC design will prevent particulate materials from leaving the immediate area of construction or earth works.

A sturdy FSC filter fabric will protect aquatic environments, and protect you from costly environmental clean up work and liability from environmental damage.

Catch Basin Sediment Trap

Catch Basin Sediment Traps (CBST's) are placed in catch basins to filter silt from runoff water.

When installed and maintained properly, the CBST removes silt and particulate matter from runoff water, preventing the fouling of the stormwater system and protecting the downstream aquatic environments from siltation. The CBST is an economical and effective method to protect you from costly cleanup work.

The potential liability for downstream environmental damage makes the CBST an obvious choice for construction and earthwork projects.
