Why do you often see black fabric fencing on hillsides and in ditches around new construction projects?

Some of this fencing may be silt fences. In a construction project, because earthmoving /digging/excavation is done on site, or heavy machinery is driven around on site, the soil is disturbed. This means that when it rains soil and silt are washed away. This silt could flow into stormwater systems and streams or other waterways. Silt can clog drains, and in waterways it can kill the plants and fish. It is a bit like us trying to breathe very dusty air. Silt fences are designed to prevent the silt travelling off the site and into waterways and usually allow the water through but catch the silt. They are positioned wherever water might flow when it rains. Other preventative measures include covering piles of material that could produce dust and silt, and washing down muddy vehicles before they leave the site.
