Silt Barrier BMP
(Iowa)
I am working on a road construction project that has a drainage ditch along the road. There is not enough water for a normal silt barrier, but I need to stay in compliance. I am also looking for a Best Management Practice (BMP) product, if you have any available.
Thanks for contacting Granite Environmental! It would be my pleasure to assist you. The product that would be ideal for your application is a Staked Silt Barrier. This product is designed specifically for storm water run-off and sheet-flow control at job sites and silt & sediment control in water shallower that 30 inches such as road side ditches, canals, shallow ponds and lakes. Our barrier is very effective when installed correctly to control water flow across your site and direct it to a sediment settling pond or retention basin, prior to discharge off your site. These are excellent BMP's (Best Management Practices) for along road side ditches, shallow marshes and lakes where a floating turbidity curtain, floating silt barrier or traditional silt fence would not work well. The barrier components are selected for the budget minded, but do not forgo on performance!! We use the very best A-grade industrial membrane with 350 lbs tensile strength and is safety yellow in color, so it's easily located.
