  6. Silt Fence Silt fence is intended to be utilized as a perimeter control to intercept sediment laden runoff. Not intended as ditch checks.

  7. Silt Fence Maintenance Topic H

  8. Riprap Reduces velocity of water Use as ditch checks Use for steeper grades Longer runs with a lot of water

  9. Erosion Mat/Riprap

  10. Silt Screen

  11. Silt Screen, Fabric, Riprap

  12. Erosion Mat Several types Staked or pinned to soil May include seed and fertilizer Careful if area is to be mowed Final treatment

  13. Steel Sheet Piling In place prior to excavation. Temporary Heavy riprap will replace Costly compared to silt screen

  14. Steel Sheet Piling

  15. Erosion Control • The Erosion Control Implementation Plan is a guide that can be amended as the project progresses. • Silt Fence can be used to build a sediment trap in a ditch. • A daily review of erosion control is required. • Permanent erosion control devices are allowed in the clear zone.
