An independent evaluation of silt fence performance was performed by the Civil
Engineering Research Foundation’s Environmental Technology Evaluation Center. The
primary objective of the evaluation was to perform well-defined field tests to provide data on
the performance of trench-based silt fence installations and installations using static slicing.
Several objectives were established to test the silt fence installation techniques. Read More...

In 1999, a silt fence performance evaluation was performed by the Civil Engineering
Research Foundation’s Environmental Technology Evaluation Center (EVTEC). The
evaluation included 51 test segments reflecting different soil types, different installation
methods, and different hydraulic conditions. In general, the static slicing method was found
to provide storm water runoff retention consistently as good as or better than the besttrenched
installations, and far superior retention to common trenched installations.Read More...
