Silt fence / outlet placement

Silt fence runs and outlets, checked against Table 6.62a

Enter the run length, slope, and drainage area; the workbench resolves the Table 6.62a slope band, checks the manual's slope-length and quarter-acre-per-100-ft limits, and turns the per-outlet area budget into a required outlet count and maximum spacing for the run.

What the workbench does

  • Table 6.62a slope-band lookup with maximum slope length and area per 100 ft of fence
  • Drainage area as a uniform strip (slope length × run length, the manual's example method) or entered from the plan
  • Minimum fence length from both the Table 6.62a area and the quarter-acre-per-100-ft rule
  • Required outlet count and maximum outlet spacing from the per-outlet area budget
  • Protected-outlet limits carried to the detail: 1.5 ft ponding, 2 ft fence height, 4 ft post spacing
