NOTES: SILT FENCE
1. Posts which support the silt fence shall be installed on a slight angle
toward the anticipated runoff source. The post must be embedded a minimum
of 16 inches.
2. The toe of the silt fence shall be trenched in with a spade or mechanical
trencher, so that the downslope face of the trench is flat and
perpendicular to the line of flow. Where fence cannot be trenched in
e.g. pavement), weight fabric flap with washed grave on the uphill side to
prevent flow under fence.
3. The trench must be a minimum of 6 inches deep and 6 inches wide to
allow for the silt fence fabric to be laid in the ground and backfilled with
compacted material.
4. Silt fence shall be securely fastened to each support post or to woven wire,
which is in turn attached to the support post. There shall be a 6 inch double
overlap, securely fastened where ends of fabric meet.
5. Inspection shall be made daily or after each rainfall. Repair or
replacement shall be made promptly as needed.
6. Sift fence shall be removed when the site is completely stabilized so as
not to block or impede storm flow or drainage.
7. Accumalated silt shall be removed when it reached a depth of 3 inches. The
silt shall be disposed of at an approved site and in such a manner as to
not contribute to aditional siltation.
