Green Fleet Education Session - Storm Water Pollution Prevention 8.10.16

1. An Innovative Product For Today’s Building Sites
From rainwater to drinking water…Siltworm strives to keep our local
waterways free of damaging pollutants, sediment, and harmful job-
site contaminants. Clean Water, Clean World.

2. DOES YOUR SITE LOOK LIKE THIS?

3. WHY DOES SILT FENCE FAIL?

4. DESIGN/MAINTENANCE

5. SILTWORM IS A BETTER
SOLUTION!

6. WHAT IS SILTWORM™?
• SILTWORM IS A REVOLUTIONARY SEDIMENT CONTROL FILTER!
• SILTWORM IS A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT FOR SILT FENCING.
• SILTWORM IS A SEDIMENT CONTROL PRODUCT THAT IS
CHANGING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF COMPLETE JOBSITE
CONTROL SYSTEMS.

7. PERIMETER CONTROL

8. HARD SURFACE PROTECTION
EFFECTIVE ON FROZEN GROUND, CONCRETE OR ANY OTHER HARD
SURFACE

9. DITCH CHECK APPLICATION
SILTWORM creates a temporary ponding and FILTERS stormwater

10. BENEFITS OF SILTWORM™
• ECO-FRIENDLY….. 100% RECYCLED FILLER MATERIAL,
REUSABLE
• MORE EFFECTIVE….CAN BE PLACED ON HARD
SURFACES/FROZEN GROUND
• VERSITILITY...APPROVED FOR DITCH CHECK, SLOPE
INTERUPTION, AND PERIMETER CONTROL
APPLICATIONS,INLET PROTECTION
• JOB SITE ACCESS....CAN BE MOVED AND PUT BACK IN PLACE
• COST BENEFIT...CONTRACTORS SAVE $$ USING IT
• LIMITED TRENCHING AND STAKING REQUIREMENTS
• FILTER....SEPARATES JOBSITE CONTAMINATES

11. EASY INSTALLATION
2 EASY STEPS:
1. ARRANGE SILTWORM AROUND THE PERIMETER OF THE SITE AND PERPENDICULAR TO STORM
WATER FLOW. IN SITES WITH GRADE GREATER THAN 12%, SILTWORM SHOULD BE STAKED OR
STACKED FOR ADDITIONAL SECURITY.
2. OVERLAP ADJACENT SILTWORM BY 6” .
BENEFITS:
• NO EQUIPMENT REQUIRED.
• LIMITED STAKING OR TRENCHING REQUIRED.
• CAN BE PLACED DIRECTLY ONTO FROZEN GROUND OR CONCRETE.
• CAN BE USED IN DITCH CHECK APPLICATION.
• CAN BE USED AS INLET PROTECTION FOR STORM DRAINS OR TO REDUCE WATER FLOW IN SMALL
DITCHES.
• ENDS OF SILTWORM CAN ANGLED IN THE DIRECTION OF THE SLOPE TO PREVENT STORM WATER
FROM ESCAPING AROUND THE ENDS.

12. EASY INSTALLATION

13. PERIMETER CONTROL:
PLACE SILTWORM DIRECTLY ON TOP OF GRADE, AND OVERLAP
ENDS A MINIMUM OF 6". SITE PREPARATION IS MINIMAL, AND
THERE IS NO STAKING OR TRENCHING REQUIREMENT FOR
GRADES UNDER 12%. ARRANGE THE SILTWORM PERIMETER
CONTROL IN A MANNER THAT IS APPLIED PERPENDICULAR TO
SHEET FLOW.
SLOPE INTERRUPTION:
PLACE SILTWORM PERPENDICULAR TO SHEET FLOW AND CURL
ENDS UP TOWARD THE TOP OF THE SLOPE. STAKE THE
SILTWORM EVERY 6', AND OVERLAP THE ENDS BETWEEN 1 TO 2
FEET. PLACE A LINE OF DEFENSE AT THE TOP OF THE SLOPE,
AND ANOTHER WITHIN 10' FROM THE TOE OF THE SLOPE.
DITCH CHECK:
SILTWORM IS EFFECTIVE IN A CHECK DAM APPLICATION AS
WELL. BY REDUCING THE VELOCITY OF THE FLOW, RILL EROSION
IS NEGATED. SILTWORM SHOULD BE USED AS A "SPEED BUMP"
FOR TURBID STORM WATER. SILTWORM SHOULD BE INSTALLED
WITH A SLIGHT ENTRENCHMENT, AND STAKED EVERY 4' IN THE
DITCH CHECK APPLICATION.

16. STOCKPILE

17. PROTECTED AREAS/WETLANDS
• SILTWORM…IS A PERFECT ALTERNATIVE WHEN THERE ARE
AREAS THAT MACHINERY CANNOT REACH
• PROTECTION OF TREE ROOTS...NO TRENCHING IN PERIMETER
CONTROL APPLICATION PROTECTS BOTH TREE ROOTS, AND
UNDERGROUND UTILITIES

19. SITE PREPARATION
• HEAVY VEGETATION SHOULD BE CUT DOWN OR
REMOVED.
• EXTREMELY UNEVEN SURFACES SHOULD BE LEVELED
TO ENSURE UNIFORM CONTACT BETWEEN THE
SILTWORM AND THE INSTALLATION SURFACE.

20. MAINTENANCE
• 50 % RULE. IF SEDIMENTATION OCCURS THAT TOTALS OVER 50% OF
THE HEIGHT OF THE SILTWORM, IT NEEDS MAINTAINED.
• OVERTOPPING: SILTWORM OR IF THE SILTWORM BECOMES
OVERTOPPED, AN ADDITIONAL SILTWORM SHOULD BE ADDED ON TOP
OR IN FRONT OF THE EXISTING SILTWORM WITHOUT DISTURBING THE
ACCUMULATED SEDIMENT.
• TORN: ADD REPLACEMENT SLEEVE OVER TORN AREA, OR CUT AND
TIE END.

21. DISPOSAL
• #1….RE-USE
• SILTWORM CAN BE TRANSFERRED FROM ONE SITE TO
ANOTHER, AND RE-USED
• PHOTODEGRADABLE NETTING
• TWO NETTING TYPES, ORANGE VS BLACK

22. MISCELLANEOUS USES
• CONCRETE TRUCK WASHOUT AREA: CREATE A POOL BY
ARRANGING MULTIPLE SILTWORMS AROUND EXISTING
WASHOUT PITS.
• USED BY FIRE AND POLICE DEPARTMENTS TO FILTER OIL,
GAS, AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS AT ACCIDENT SITES.
• USED BY LANDSCAPE COMPANIES TO PROTECT TREE ROOTS
AND CONTAIN MULCH BEDS.

24. SHIPPING
• 8064 LINEAL FEET ON ONE TRUCK

25. INNOVATIVE QUALITY
· CERTIFIED INSTALLATION PROGRAM – ENSURES QUALITY
CONTROL FOR SILTWORM INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE.
· MANUFACTURING- MANUFACTURED IN ONE FACILITY WITH
CONSISTENT QUALITY OF FILL MATERIAL AND CONSISTENT
PROCESSES TO ENSURE QUALITY PRODUCT.
