• Abstract:
  Sediment control devices (SCDs) are used on construction sites to retain sediment and prevent stormwater from adversely affecting adjacent waterways. SCDs include silt fences, wattles, sediment logs and basins, filter dams, and inlet protection devices. These products are designed to be installed for specific applications (e.g., curb inlets, drop inlets, and perimeter protection). However, there is no scientifically sound, repeatable, full-scale testing methodology that replicates field conditions to test and determine SCD performance. This project developed a formal testing protocol and test apparatus for a performance-based SDC testing program. This program will assist the designer/engineer in selecting the most effective sediment control best management practice.
