Putting Together an Erosion Control Plan? Don't Forget Floating Silt Barriers!

Good morning My question is regarding the height of the floating silt barriers. How high are they generally above the water? I'm looking at the Type 2 Silt Barrier, heavy duty.

I am just looking at specifications at this time as I write an Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan for a hydroelectric project we are going to be licensing over the next 2-3 years.

Good morning to you! This is an excellent question. The height of floating silt barriers really depends on the float size. A Type 2 HD comes with a 8" float up to 10' depth and any type larger than 10' has a 12" float.
