Silt Fence in the Winter?
Silt fence is an important erosion control measure in winter, but require specific installation and maintenance strategies to function effectively in cold conditions. The primary challenges are frozen ground, snow accumulation, and freeze-thaw cycles that generate significant runoff.
How can we help?
Maj’s Services has Earth Saw’s to cut through the frozen ground.
Some winters have been mild enough that our earth saws are not required.
By planning ahead, using appropriate installation techniques, and conducting diligent maintenance, silt fence can be an effective part of your winter erosion control plan. For more detailed guidance, always consult local and state-level erosion control manuals or your project’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP).
