Erosion control limits the amount of sediment that is carried into lakes, streams, and rivers by stormwater runoff. Sediments can carry nutrients and pollutants that contaminate water resources and can harm aquatic wildlife. A construction plan from us can limit sediment disturbance, as well as reduce the negative impacts on local water and natural resources.
The construction plan will need to control runoff, stabilize slopes, and limit the movement of soils into drainage systems and natural areas. A key factor in accomplishing this at Supreme Fencing is to reduce the amount of activity in one area and spread the work out, if possible. Initial site work should include establishing protective buffer zones and setting up perimeter sediment controls.
During the course of construction, a variety of erosion prevention and sediment control practices may be necessary in order to stabilize: slopes and drainageways, protect inlets, limit the formation of gullies and capture sediment. Let’s take a look at some common practices.
Uses: sediment control
Areas to Use: Perimeter, Slopes, Drainageways
Other: Drainage System Inlets
Method: Silt fence filters sediment from runoff by allowing water to pass through a geotextile fabric or by creating a pool to allow sediment to drop out of the water column. Silt fence is installed primarily at downslope boundaries of the work area but can also be used for inlet protection, and around the perimeter of stockpiles
Uses: sediment control
Areas to Use: Perimeter, Slopes, Drainageways
Other: Drainage System Inlets
Method: Fiber logs include straw, wood, or coconut fiber logs, compost logs, and rock logs that slow water and filter sediment. Fiber logs are used for inlet protection, ditch checks, and as perimeter control where a silt fence is impractical.
Areas to Use: Sediment Control, Perimeter, Method
Method: A rock construction entrance is a bed of rocks that helps to remove sediment from vehicle tires. Rock construction entrances should be placed at all site access points. The use of 1 1/2 inch – 3-inch clear aggregate is recommended. Periodic cleaning or replacement is recommended.
Areas to Use: Erosion Protection, Sediment Control, Perimeter, Slopes, Drainageways
Method: Temporary seeding allows plants to stabilize the soil through vegetation and root growth. A large variety of plants are available for temporary seeding for different conditions; the most common are rye grass, winter wheat, and oats.
Areas to Use: Erosion Protection, Sediment Control, Perimeter, Slopes, Drainageways
Method: Erosion control blankets are mats made of netting layered with straw, wood, coconut, or man-made fibers that prevent erosion by sheltering the soil from rainfall and runoff while holding moisture for establishing plants. Blankets are installed in channels.
Areas to Use: Sediment Control, Slopes, Drainage System Inlets
Method: Rock and compost bags are filled bags that are used to filter water, control ditch grade, or provide inlet protection.
Areas to Use: Sediment Control, Drainageways
Method: Rock check dams are rocks piled across a ditch to slow flows and capture sediment. Rock checks are installed perpendicular to flow and should be wide enough to ensure that flow remains in the center.
Areas to Use: Erosion Protection, Drainage System Inlets
Method: Riprap is appropriately sized rocks that reduce the energy of fast-moving flows. Riprap can be used along channels, ditches, and outfalls.
Areas to Use: Sediment Control, Drainage System Inlets
Method: Filter bags are mesh bags that capture sediment but allow water to pass through. Filter bags are installed in storm drain inlets.

Popular Questions
Why is Erosion Control Important? Erosion is the process of soil, rock and other particles displacing from a location by wind and/or water (like Stormwater runoff). Erosion and sediment control is very important because erosion affects wildlife, public and private property, and contributes to pollution.
A silt fence or filter fence, is a temporary sediment control device used on construction sites to protect water quality in nearby streams, rivers, lakes and seas from sediment (loose soil) in stormwater runoff.
A silt fence shouldn't be removed until after construction is complete and erosion control has been corrected with vegetation or other methods.
Yes, the fabric of the silt fence is porous enough to allow water to flow through it, but prevents as much as 80 percent of water-borne particles from escaping.
A straw wattle (aka fiber rolls) are fiber filled mesh tubes used to interrupt and slow down water descending from a slope. Water can flow through at a much slower rate but the sediment is left behind.
You can use a straw wattle on flat ground, we like to dig a shallow trench, then lay the wattle down and stake it on each end and every couple feet, this will keep the wattle from moving around and helps to collect that unwanted sediment. When installing the wattles on flat ground, drive the stakes straight down; when installing wattles on slopes, drive the stakes perpendicular to the slope.
Erosion control blankets or hay mats are installed to help slow down the flow of water across the surface.
