FOR
SILT FENCE
Definition
A temporary barrier of woven geotextile used to intercept, retain, and filter surface runoff from disturbed areas.
Purpose
To intercept sediment-laden sheet flow runoff allowing the deposition of sediment transported from upslope. Silt
fence is not to be used as a velocity check in swales or placed where it will intercept concentrated flow.
Silt fence is limited to intercepting sheet flow runoff from small disturbed areas. The use of silt fence is based on
slope length and steepness of the contributing drainage area.
Design Criteria
Average Slope Steepness Maximum Slope Length Maximum Silt Fence Length
Flatter than 50:1 (<2%) 300 feet* Unlimited
50:1 to 10:1 (2-10 %) 125 feet 1,000 feet
<10:1 to 5:1 (>10-20%) 100 feet 750 feet
<5:1 (>20%) 40 feet 250 feet
* Maximum slope length is unlimited on Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) “A” soils.
1. The use of silt fence must conform to the design constraints listed in Table E.1 above.
4. Silt fence should be used with caution in areas where rocky soils may prevent trenching.
5. Extend both ends of the silt fence a minimum five (5) feet horizontally upslope at 45 degrees to
the main fence alignment to prevent runoff from going around the ends of the silt fence.
Maintenance
Accumulated sediment and debris must be removed when bulges develop in the silt fence or when sediment
reaches 25 percent of the fence height. The geotextile must be replaced if torn. If undermining occurs, reinstall
fence.
