The purpose for installing a silt fence is to help retain disturbed soil, in locations such as a construction site or heavily trafficked areas.
It help to keep the soil or sediment on site, rather than letting it be washed off into streams, rivers, ponds, lakes, estuaries etc. As a result it helps to prevent the degradation of aquatic habitats and prevents siltation of drains and rivers. Alternative application of the sit fence is to prevent soil from washing onto roads, which readily transport it to drains, preventing clogging with sediment. The cost of installing silt fences is considerably less than the costs associated with losing aquatic species, dredging channels, and cleaning sediment out of drains and waterways.
