Filter Bags
Even the best quality silt fencing erected properly will not contain all the sediment within a construction site for two reasons:
- disturbed earth may exist beyond the site perimeter; and
- Silt can accumulate from access areas where vehicles are entering and leaving the site.
- Filter Bags capture silt that leaves the site, for the above reasons
- Filter bags are placed at the entrance to inlet drains.

| The Sediment Control Centre provides ready made filter bags in sizes 0.8m (SC21), 2m (SC23) and 3m(SC29) and continuous lengths. Where OH&S issues are a concern, rubber filled bags are a lightweight, reusable alternative. |
