Silt Barrier and The Clean Water Act

How does a silt barrier keep you in compliance with The Clean Water Act?

This is a great question! Thanks for asking. A silt barrier is a tough silt curtain which is designed specifically for silt control in rivers, inter-coastal waterways, bays and harbors. These rough water floating silt curtain is ideal for demanding applications whether dredging contaminated sediments or demolishing bridges.

The Clean Water Act made it unlawful to discharge any pollutant from a point source into navigable waters, unless a permit was obtained. The use of a silt barrier helps to prevent that polluted sediment and / or stormwater runoff from entering the water stream. The sediment is trapped and contained within the turbidity curtain and allowed to settle. It is then pumped out and disposed of. Not staying in compliance with the Clean Water Act can result in costly fines and even work stoppage.
