Resumen

Sediment barriers are used on construction sites to protect downstream waterbodies from the impacts of sediment-laden stormwater runoff. Although ubiquitous on construction sites, many sediment barrier practices lack performance-based testing to determine effectiveness and treatment mechanisms, with previous evaluations being limited to conditions local to the Southeastern U.S., with conditions in other regions remaining untested. Testing was conducted to determine the effectiveness of woven silt fence barriers and provide structural improvements to common installation methods. Testing was conducted using a large-scale sediment barrier testing apparatus at the Auburn University?Stormwater Research Facility. The results from testing indicate that Nebraska DOT standard silt fence installations can be improved to reduce the risk of structural failures such as undermining, complete installation failure, slow dewatering, and overtopping. To improve structural performance, four modifications (a 15.2 cm [6 in.] offset trench, wooden posts, a dewatering board with an overflow weir, and a dewatering board with an overflow weir with adjusted post spacing) were tested. On average, 83% of introduced sediment was retained behind the tested barriers. The water quality results across the testing of standard and modified installations indicated that stormwater treatment was due to sedimentation within the impoundment formed by silt fence installations and not filtration through geotextile fabric.
