Filtrexx SiltSoxx are sediment-trapping devices using Filtrexx
FilterMedia installed with a pneumatic blower device or equivalent. Filtrexx
SiltSoxx trap sediment by filtering water passing through the berm
and allowing water to pond, creating a settling of solids. Flow
through rates with Filtrexx SiltSoxx exceed values for traditional Silt Fence.
Conditions where practice applies
Filtrexx SiltSoxx are to be used in any area requiring sediment
or erosion control where runoff is in the form of sheet flow or in
areas that silt fence is normally considered acceptable. For
the purposes of this document, Filtrexx SiltSoxx and silt fence are considered
approved equals. The use of Filtrexx SiltSoxx apply to areas of high sheet erosion, on steep slopes up to and exceeding a 2:1 slope, around inlets, and in other disturbed areas of construction sites requiring sediment control. Filtrexx SiltSoxx may also be used in sensitive environmental areas, where migration of aquatic life,
including turtles, salamanders and other aquatic life is impeded by
the use of silt fence.
