Silt fencing is a temporary sediment barrier made of porous fabric. It’s held up by wooden or metal posts driven into the ground, it’s inexpensive and relatively easy to remove. The fabric ponds sediment-laden stormwater runoff, causing sediment to be retained by the settling processes. A single 100 foot (ft) run of silt fence may hold 50 tons of sediment in place.
