WE have a lake that the water has come up 4 feet this past year and has flooded out many homes. WE are at a point of constructing a berm to protect the homes. But to construct the berms we are required to prevent suspended silt pollution into the lake.

Your silt barrier product is very intersting... How would you suspend the barrier to hold it up right? Thanks

Thank you for your Question.

Our silt barriers are floating units which have a skirt which extends down into the water column (a maximum of 12" from the bottom). Essentially the skirt/barrier controls the dispersion of sediment and encourages settling (reference Stokes Law) in a confined are and in so doing protects the lake or natural habitat.

Thank you for your interest and trust this is helpful.
