Green Silt Fencing

Temporary linear sediment barrier of permeable fabric designed to intercept and slow the flow of sediment-laden sheet flow runoff. 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.

 

Design and layout of Green Silt Fence products should conform to the following standards and specifications:

 

maximum slope length of slope draining to any point along the silt fence shall be 61 m (200 ft) or less

slope of area draining to silt fence shall be less than 1:1 (V:H)

wood stakes and steel posts shall be positioned on the downstream side of the fence
