With the majority of the clearing completed, crews are installing silt fencing around the perimeter of the cleared area.  Once the silt fencing is installed, B&B can begin the rest of their site work.  

A silt fence is a temporary sediment control device used on construction sites to protect water quality in nearby streams, rivers, lakes and bays. A typical fence consists of a piece of synthetic filter fabric (also called a geotextile) stretched between a series of wooden or metal stakes. The stakes are installed on the downhill side of the fence, and the bottom edge of the fabric is trenched in the soil and backfilled on the uphill side. The fence is installed on a site before soil disturbance (earth moving) begins, down-slope from the disturbance area.

Silt fencing is a sign of major work to come!
