4.06 SILT FENCE
<br />(ES BMP 1.06)
<br />Definition
<br />A temporary sediment barrier consisting of a filter fabric stretched across and attached to
<br />supporting posts and entrenched. There are two types. The silt fence is a temporary linear
<br />filter barrier constructed of synthetic filter fabric, posts, and, depending upon the strength of
<br />the fabric used, wire fence for support. The filter barrier is constructed of stakes and
<br />burlap or synthetic filter fabric.
<br />Purposes
<br />1. To intercept and detain small amounts of sediment from disturbed areas during
<br />construction operations.
<br />2. To decrease the velocity of sheet flows and low -to -moderate level channel flows.
<br />Conditions When Practice Applies
<br />1. Below disturbed areas where erosion would occur in the form of sheet and rill
<br />erosion.
<br />2. Where the size of the drainage area is no more than 1/4 acre per 100 feet (1.3 ha
<br />/100 m) of silt fence length; the maximum slope length behind the barrier is 100
<br />feet (30 m); and the maximum gradient behind the barrier is 50 percent (2:1).
<br />3. In minor swales or ditch lines where the maximum contributing drainage area is no
<br />greater than 2 acres (0.8 he).
<br />4. Under no circumstances should silt fences be constructed in live streams or in
<br />swales or ditch lines where flows are likely to exceed one cubic foot per second
<br />(efs)(0.03 m3 / sec.). See Design Criteria for further clarification.
<br />Plannina Considerations
<br />Silt fences can trap a much higher percentage of suspended sediments than can straw
<br />bales and may be preferable to straw barriers in many cases. While the failure rate of silt
<br />fences is lower than that of straw barriers, this failure rate is still due mainly to improper
<br />installation. The most effective application is to install two parallel silt fences spaced a
<br />minimum of three feet apart. The installation and maintenance methods outlined here can
<br />improve performance.
<br />Filter barriers are inexpensive structures composed of burlap or standard weight synthetic
<br />filter fabric stapled to wooden stakes. Flow rates through burlap filter barriers are slightly
<br />slower and filtering efficiency is significantly higher than for straw bale barriers.

<br />Plate 4.06a FDOT Standard Index 102, Chart 1
<br />Source: FOOT Roadway and Traffic Design Standards
<br />Silt fences composed of a wire support fence and an attached synthetic filter fabric slow
<br />the flow rate significantly but have a higher filtering efficiency than burlap. Bothwoven and
<br />non -woven synthetic fabrics are commercially available. The woven fabrics generally
<br />display higher strength than the non -woven fabrics. When tested under acid and alkaline
<br />water conditions, most of the woven fabrics increase in strength. There are a variety of
<br />reactions among the non -woven fabrics. The same is true of testing under extensive
<br />ultraviolet radiation. Permeability rates vary regardless of fabric type. While all of the
<br />fabrics demonstrate very high filtering efficiencies for sandy sediments, there is
<br />considerable variation among both woven and non -woven fabrics when filtering the finer silt
<br />and day particles.
<br />Design Criteria
<br />1. No formal design is required for many small projects and for minor and incidental
<br />applications. For channel flow applications refer to FDOT Standard Index 102,
<br />Chart 1 (Plate 4.06a) for guidance on recommended spacing.
<br />2. Filter barriers shall have an expected usable life of 3 months. They are applicable
<br />in ditch lines, around drop inlets, and at temporary locations where continuous
<br />construction changes the earth contour and runoff characteristics and where low or
<br />moderate flows (not exceeding 1 cfs) (0.03 m3 / sec.) are expected.
<br />3. Silt fences, because they have much lower permeability than burlap filter barriers,
<br />have their applicability limited to situations in which only sheet or overland flows are
<br />expected. They normally cannot filter the volumes of water generated by channel
<br />flows, and many fabrics do not have sufficient structural strength to support the
<br />weight of water ponded behind the fence line. Their expected usable life is 6
<br />months.
<br />Construction SpeclfrcLtlon&
<br />Materials
<br />1. Synthetic filter fabric shall be a pervious sheet of propylene, nylon, polyester, or
<br />polyethylene yam. Synthetic filter fabric shall contain ultraviolet ray inhibitors and
<br />stabilizers to provide a minimum of 6 months of expected usable construction life
<br />at a temperature range of 00 F to 1200 F (-17C to 49C).
<br />2. Burlap shall be 10 ounces per square yard (340 g/m2) fabric.
<br />3. Posts for sift fences shall be either 4 inch (10 cm) diameter wood, or 1.33 pounds
<br />per linear foot (2 kg/m) steel with a minimum length of 5 feet (1.5 m). Steel posts
<br />shall have projections for fastening wire to them.
<br />4_ Stakes for filter barriers shall be 1"x 2" (2.5 x 5 cm) wood (preferred), or equivalent
<br />metal with a minimum length of 3 feet (90 cm).

<br />5. Wire fence reinforcement for silt fences using standard strength filter cloth shall be
<br />a minimum of 36 inches (90 cm) in height, a minimum of 14 gauge and shall have
<br />a maximum mesh spacing of 6 inches (15 cm).
<br />Sheet Flow Applications: Filter Barrier
<br />This sediment barriermay be constructed using burlap orstandard strength syntheticfflter
<br />fabric. It Is designed for low or moderate flows not exceeding 1 cis. (0.03 m3 / sec.). (See
<br />Plate 4.06b)
<br />1. The height of a filter barrier shall be a minimum of 15 inches (38 cm) and shall not
<br />exceed 18 inches (45 cm).
<br />2. Burlap or standard strength synthetic filter fabric shall be purchased in a continuous
<br />roll and cut to the length of the barrier to avoid the use of joints (and thus improve
<br />the strength and efficiency of the barrier).
<br />3. The stakes shall be spaced a maximum of 3 feet (90 cm) apart at the barrier
<br />location and driven securely into the ground a minimum of 8 inches (20 cm)"
<br />4. A trench shall be excavated approximately 4 inches (10 cm) wide and 4 inches (10
<br />cm) deep along the line of stakes and upslope from the barrier.
<br />5. The filter material shall be stapled to the wooden stakes, and 8 inches (20 cm) of
<br />the fabric shall be extended into the trench. Heavy duty wire staples at least 1/2
<br />inch (13 mm) long, hog rings, or be wire shall be used. Filter material shall not be
<br />stapled to existing trees.
<br />6. The trench shall be backfilled and the soil compacted over the filter material.
<br />7. Filter barriers shall be removed when they have served their useful purpose, but not
<br />before the upslope area has been permanently stabilized.
<br />Sheet Flow Application: Silt Fence
<br />This sediment barrier uses standard strength or extra strength synthetic filter fabrics. It is
<br />designed for situations in which only sheet or overland flows are expected. (See Plate
<br />4.06d)
<br />1. The height of a silt fence shall not exceed 36 inches (90 cm). Higher fences may
<br />impound volumes of water sufficient to cause failure of the structure.
<br />2. The filter fabric shall be purchased in a continuous roll cut to the length of the
<br />barrier to avoid the use of joints. When joints are necessary, filter cloth shall be
<br />spliced as described in item No. 8 below.

<br />3. Posts shall be spaced a maximum of 10 feet (3 m) apart at the barrier location and
<br />driven securely into the ground a minimum of 12 inches (30 cm). When extra
<br />strength fabric is used without the wire support fence, post spacing shall not exceed
<br />6 feet (1.8 m).
<br />4. A trench shall be excavated approximately 4 inches (10 cm) wide and 4 inches (10
<br />cm) deep along the line of posts and upslope from the barrier.
<br />5. When standard strength filter fabric is used, a wire mesh support fence shall be
<br />fastened securely to the upslope side of the posts using heavy duty wire staples at
<br />least 1 inch (25 mm) long, tie wires, or hog rings. The wire shall extend into the
<br />trench a minimum of 2 inches (5 cm) and shall not extend more than 36 inches
<br />(90 cm) above the original ground surface.
<br />6. The standard strength filter fabric shall be stapled or wired to the fence, and 8
<br />inches (20 cm) of the fabric shall be extended into the trench. The fabric shall not
<br />extend more than 36 inches (90 cm) above the original ground surface.
<br />7. When extra strength filter fabric and closer post spacing are used, the wire mesh
<br />support fence may be eliminated. In such a case, the filter fabric is stapled or
<br />wired directly to the posts with all other provisions of item No. 6 applying.
<br />8. When attaching two silt fences together, place the end post of the second fence
<br />inside the end post of the first fence. Rotate both posts at least 180 degrees on a
<br />clockwise direction to create a tight seal with the filter fabric. Drive both posts into
<br />the ground and bury the flap. (See Plate 4.06g)
<br />9. The trench shall be backfilled and the soil compacted over the filter fabric.
<br />10. The most effective application consists of a double row of silt fences spaced a
<br />minimum of three feet apart. The three foot separation is so that if the first row
<br />collapses it will not fall on the second row. Wire or synthetic mesh is may be used
<br />to reinforce the first row. (See Plate 4.06c)
<br />11. When used to control sediments from a steep slope, silt fences should be placed
<br />away from the toe of the slope for increased holding capacity. (See Plate 4.06f)
<br />12. Silt fences shall be removed when they have served their useful purpose, but not
<br />before the upslope area has been permanently stabilized.
<br />Channel Flow Applications
<br />1. If a filter barrier is to be constructed across a ditch line or Swale, the barrier shall of
<br />sufficient length such that the bottom of the end sections of fence are higher in
<br />elevation than the top of the center section to eliminate end flow. The plan
<br />configuration shall resemble an arc or horseshoe with the ends oriented upslope.
<br />(See Plate 4.06b).
<br />2. Use FDOT Standard Index 102, Chart 1(Plate 4.06a) as a guide for spacing.
<br />3. The remaining steps for installing a filter barrier for sheet flow applications apply
<br />here.
<br />Maintenance
<br />1. Silt fences and filter barriers shall be inspected immediately after each rainfall and
<br />at least daily during prolonged rainfall. Any required repairs shall be made
<br />immediately.
<br />2. Should the fabric on a silt fence or filter barrier decompose or become ineffective
<br />before the end of the expected usable life and the barrier still be necessary, the
<br />fabric shall be replaced promptly.
<br />3. Sediment deposits should be removed after each storm event. They must be
<br />removed when deposits reach approximately one-half the height of the barrier.

<br />4.03 TEMPORARY GRAVEL CONSTRUCTION ENTRANCE & EXIT
<br />(ES BMP 1.01)
<br />Definition
<br />A stone stabilized pad located at points of vehicular ingress and egress on a construction
<br />site.
<br />Purpose
<br />To stabilize entrances to the construction site and reduce the amount of sediment
<br />transported onto public roads by motor vehicles or runoff.
<br />Conditions Where Practice Applies
<br />Wherever traffic will be leaving a construction site and moving directly onto a public road or
<br />other paved area.
<br />Planning Considerations
<br />Construction entrances provide an area where mud can be removed from construction
<br />vehicle tires before they enter a public road. If the action of the vehicle traveling over the
<br />gravel pad is not sufficient to remove most of the mud, then the tires must be washed
<br />before the vehicle enters a public road. If washing is used, provisions must be made to
<br />intercept the wash water and trap the sediment before it is carried off -site. Construction
<br />entrances should be used in conjunction with the stabilization of construction roads to
<br />reduce the amount of mud picked up by construction vehicles.
<br />Design Criteria
<br />Aggregate Size
<br />FDOT No. 1 Coarse Aggregate (1.5 - 3.5 inch stone)(4 - 9 cm) should be used. Wood
<br />chips may be used for single family residential construction, provided that they can be
<br />prevented from floating away in a storm.
<br />Entrance Dimensions
<br />The aggregate layer must beat least 6 inches (15 cm) thick. It must extend the full width of
<br />the vehicular ingress and egress area. The length of the entrance must be at least 50 feet
<br />(20 m). The entrance must widen at its connection to the roadway in order to
<br />accommodate the turning radius of large trucks. (See Plate 4.03a)

<br />Washing
<br />If conditions on the site are such that most of the mud is not removed by the vehicles
<br />traveling over the gravel, then the tires of the vehicles must be washed before entering a
<br />public road. Wash water must be carried away from the entrance to a settling area to
<br />remove sediment (See Plate 4.03b). A wash rack may also be used to make washing
<br />more convenient and effective (See Plate 4.03c).
<br />Location
<br />The entrance should be located to provide for maximum utility by all construction vehicles.
<br />Construction Specifications
<br />The area of the entrance should be cleared of all vegetation, roots, and other objectionable
<br />material. A geotextile should be laid down to improve stability and simplify maintenance.
<br />The gravel shall then be placed over the geotextile to the specified dimensions.
<br />Any drainage facilities required because of washing should be constructed according to
<br />approved specifications. If wash racks are used, they should be installed according to
<br />manufacturer's specifications.
<br />Maintenance
<br />The entrance shall be maintained in a condition which will prevent tracking or flow of mud
<br />onto public rights -of -way. This may require periodic top dressing with 2-inch (5 cm) stone,
<br />as conditions demand, and repair and/or clean out of any structures used to trap
<br />sediments. All materials spilled, dropped, washed, ortracked from vehicles onto roadways
<br />or into storm drains must be removed immediately. Look for signs of trucks and trailered
<br />equipment "cutting comers" where the gravel meets the roadway. Sweep the paved road
<br />daily for sediments and stones.
