Build temporary dry pond detention systems
Sediment traps are commonly used at outlets of stormwater diversion structures, slope drains, construction site entrances, channels, and other runoff locations. Sediment traps can be converted to or retrofitted for use as a permanent stormwater detention system. Use Filtrexx® SiltSoxx™ for sediment trap systems built as temporary dry pond detention systems used to capture sediment and settle suspended solids in runoff from disturbed soils less than 5 acres. Sediment Traps built with SiltSoxx are also used to capture sediment and settle suspended solids from detention pond outfalls and/or overflows.
