In Compliance with:
SiltSoxx™ Sediment Control
SiltSoxx do not require any trenching or soil
disturbance. Simply stake them in to the
ground. SiltSoxx can also be used on pavement
or frozen ground.
Check Dams: Use as a check dam device in
stormwater ditches, channels, and swales on or
near land disturbing activities.
Inlet Protection: SiltSoxx can be used around
drain inlets, in front of curb inlets, and as a curb
sediment containment system.
Filtrexx products are designed to Mimic Nature®—we use an aged composted
FilterMedia™ (l) or Alternate FilterMedia™ (r) inside a tubular mesh to harness
nature’s design principles of containment, filtration, retention, detention, energy
dissipation, and vegetation establishment. As stormwater flows through the Soxx
sediment and soluble pollutants are removed by:
• Physically trapping sediment inside the SiltSoxx, or through deposition behind it
• Chemically binding to the pollutants
• Biologically degrading compounds with bacteria and fungi

Construction Activities | Section 1: Sediment & Erosion Control | 1
PURPOSE & DESCRIPTION
Filtrexx® SiltSoxx™ is a three-dimensional tubular
sediment control and stormwater runoff filtration
device typically used for Perimeter Control of
sediment and soluble pollutants (such as phosphorus
and petroleum hydrocarbons), on and around
construction activities. Perimeter control traps
sediment and soluble pollutants by filtering runoff
water as it passes through the matrix of the Soxx™
and by allowing water to temporarily pond behind
the Soxx, allowing deposition of suspended solids.
Perimeter control is also used to reduce runoff flow
velocities on sloped surfaces.
APPLICATION
Perimeter control is to be installed down slope of
any disturbed area requiring erosion and sediment
control and filtration of soluble pollutants from
runoff. Perimeter control is effective when installed
perpendicular to sheet or low concentrated flow,
and in areas that silt fence is normally considered
appropriate. Acceptable applications include:
• Site perimeters
• Above and below disturbed areas subject to sheet
runoff, interrill and rill erosion
• Above and below exposed and erodable slopes
• Along the toe of stream and channel banks
• Around area drains or inlets located in a ‘sump’
• On compacted soils where trenching of silt fence
is difficult or impossible
• Around sensitive trees where trenching of
silt fence is not beneficial for tree survival or may
unnecessarily disturb established vegetation
• On frozen ground where trenching of silt fence is
impossible
• On paved surfaces where trenching of silt fence is
impossible
Perimeter control can be applied to areas of high
sheet runoff and erosion, on slopes up to a 1:1
grade (should be used in conjunction with slope
stabilization/erosion control technology on slopes
1.1
> 4:1), around inlets, and in other disturbed areas
of construction sites requiring sediment control.
Perimeter control may also be used in sensitive
environmental areas, where migration of wildlife may
be impeded by the use of fences or trenching may
damage roots.
It is possible to drive over perimeter control
during construction (although not recommended),
however, these areas should be immediately repaired
by manually moving perimeter control back into
place, if disturbed. Continued heavy construction
traffic may destroy the fabric mesh, reduce the
dimensions, and reduce the effectiveness of the
perimeter control.
ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES
Advantages
• Tubular filtration matrix allows for better trapping
and removal of sediment and soluble pollutants
in stormwater runoff compared to planar
constructed sediment control devices
(i.e., silt fence).
• Greater surface area contact with soil than typical
sediment control devices reduces potential for
runoff to create rills under the device leading to
unfiltered sediment.
• No trenching is required; therefore soil is not
disturbed upon installation or removal.
• Perimeter control can be installed year-round in
Installation Method – Perimeter Control
SECTION 1: CONSTRUCTION
Filtrexx® Sediment/Perimeter Control
(SiltSoxx™)
2 | Filtrexx® Design Manual | Version 10.0
difficult soil conditions such as frozen or wet
ground, and dense and compacted soils, as long as
stakes can be driven.
• Perimeter control is easily implemented as a
treatment in a greater treatment train approach to
erosion and sediment control.
• Organic matter and humus colloids in
FilterMedia™ (filler material in perimeter
control) have the ability to bind and adsorb
phosphorus, metals, and hydrocarbons that may
be in stormwater runoff.
• Microorganisms in FilterMedia have the ability
to degrade organic pollutants and cycle captured
nutrients in stormwater runoff.
• Soxx (the mesh netting containment system)
allows perimeter control to be placed in areas of
high sheet flow and low concentrated flow.
• Perimeter control can be direct seeded at time of
application to provide greater stability and
filtration capability once vegetation is established.
• FilterMedia is organic and can be left on site
after permanent stabilization is complete, to
be used in landscape design and/or seeded and
planted with permanent vegetation.
• FilterMedia improves existing soil structure
if spread out and used as a soil amendment after
construction activity is complete.
• Biodegradable or photodegradable perimeter
control can be left on site after construction
activity eliminating the need for removal and labor
and disposal costs.
• Perimeter control can be used on slopes to
slow down runoff velocity, disperse concentrated
runoff, and reduce effective slope lengths, reducing
the erosive potential of stormwater runoff.
• Perimeter control is less likely to obstruct
wildlife movement and migration than planar/silt
fence sediment control practices.
• Perimeter control is available in 5 in. (125mm),
8 in.(200mm), 12 in. (300mm), 18 in. (450mm),
24 in. (600mm), and 32 in (800mm) diameters
for customized applications and challenging
situations.
• Perimeter control is available in up to 200 ft
(61m) continuous lengths to prevent weak sections
and creation of concentrated flow situations
typical to low points in runs of other sediment
control devices. End points are sleeved together
to form continuous runs of unlimited lengths
without low or break points.
• Perimeter control may assist in qualification for
LEED® Green Building Rating and Certification
credits under LEED New Construction v4.
Awarded credits may be possible from SS
Prerequisite 1, SS Credit 5.1, SS Credit 6.2, WE
Credit 2, MR Credit 4.1, MR Credit 4.2, MR
Credit 5.1, MR Credit 5.2, and MR Credit 6.

Disadvantages
• If filler material of perimeter control is not
Filtrexx® CertifiedSM FilterMedia™, performance
may be diminished.
• If not installed correctly, maintained or used for a
purpose or intention that does not meet
specifications performance may be diminished.
• If land surface is extremely bumpy, rocky, or
changes elevation abruptly ground surface
contact to perimeter control may be diminished
thereby adversely effecting performance.
MATERIAL SPECIfICATIONS

tested and certified to meet
minimum performance criteria defined by Filtrexx
International. Performance parameters include;
hydraulic flow through rate, total solids removal
efficiency, total suspended solids removal efficiency,
turbidity reduction, nutrient removal efficiency,
metals removal efficiency, and motor oil removal
efficiency. For information on the physical and
chemical properties of Filtrexx Certified FilterMedia
refer to the Filtrexx Design Manual, section 6.1.
Look for the Filtrexx Certified FilterMedia Seal
from our international network of Filtrexx Certified
Installers and Manufacturers.
PERfORMANCE
Performance testing and research on perimeter
control has been extensive. Results from testing and
research programs conducted on perimeter control
include: hydraulic flow through rate, ponding
rate and calculation (behind perimeter control),
sediment storage capacity (inside + behind tool), total
solids removal efficiency, suspended solids removal
efficiency (with and w/out biopolymer and polymer
flocculants), turbidity reduction (with and w/out
biopolymer and polymer flocculants), nitrate-N
removal efficiency, total P removal efficiency, soluble
reactive P removal efficiency (with and w/out
Nutrient Agent), petroleum hydrocarbon (motor
oil) removal efficiency, and heavy metals (Cu, Fe,
Mn, Zn) removal efficiency. For a summary of
performance testing, research results, and design
specifications see Table 1.1 and Table 1.2. For copies
of full reports visit www.filtrexx.com.
Successful bidders will furnish adequate research
support showing their manufactured product
meets or exceeds performance and design criteria
outlined in this standard specification. Research or
performance testing will be accepted if it meets the
following criteria: conducted by a neutral third party,
utilizes standard test methods reported by ASTM
or referenced in a peer reviewed scientific journal,
product and control treatments are tested in triplicate,
performance results are reported for product and
control (control should be a bare soil under the same
set of environmental and experimental conditions),
results are peer reviewed, results indicate a minimum
60% TSS removal efficiency and a minimum
hydraulic flow through rate of 5 gpm/ft2. Bidders
shall attach a copy of the research report indicating
test methodologies utilized and results.
Note: the Contractor is responsible for establishing
a working erosion and sediment control system and
may, with approval of the Engineer, work outside the
minimum construction requirements as needed. Where
the perimeter control deteriorates or fails, it shall be
repaired or replaced with an effective alternative.
DESIGN CRITERIA
The sediment and pollutant removal process
characteristic to perimeter control combines both
filtering and deposition from settling solids. This
is different than methods that rely on ponding
for deposition of solids for perimeter control (i.e.,
silt fence). Ponding occurs when water flowing to
the perimeter control accumulates faster than the
hydraulic flow through rate of the perimeter control.
Typically, hydraulic flow-through rates for perimeter
control are 50% greater than geotextile filter fabric
(silt fence). Greater hydraulic flow-through rates
reduce ponding, therefore reducing the need for taller
sediment control structural design height. Additionally,
perimeter control does not blind as easily with
small soil/sediment colloids, such as clay soils, as do
planar geotextile sediment control barriers (such as
silt fence). However, installation and maintenance
is especially important for proper function and
performance. For engineering design details see
Figure 1.1. For a summary of specifications for
product/practice use, performance and design see
Table 1.1 and Table 1.2.
Filtering Water
4 | Filtrexx® Design Manual | Version 10.0
For most standard perimeter control applications,
a 12 in (300mm) diameter perimeter control can
replace a 24 to 36 in (600 to 900mm) silt fence. See
Table 1.3 and 1.4 and Figure 1.2 for standard design
specifications for maximum allowable slope lengths.
Note: In some low flow conditions, an 8 in (200mm)
perimeter control may replace a 24 in (600mm) silt
fence. Design consideration should be given to the
duration of the project, total area of disturbance,
rainfall/runoff potential, soil erosion potential, and
sediment loading.
Runoff Flow:
Sheet runoff flow and ponding depth should
not exceed the height of the perimeter control.
If overflow of the device is a possibility, larger
diameter perimeter control should be constructed,
other sediment control devices may be used, or
management practices to reduce runoff should be
installed. Alternatively, a second perimeter control
may be constructed or used in combination with
compost erosion control blankets or rolled erosion
control blankets to slow runoff and reduce erosion.
The Filtrexx Design Tool can assist in planning and
designing what diameter perimeter control should be
used, correct spacing requirements, and what rainfall
and site conditions can lead to runoff breaching of
the perimeter control. For instructions and a copy of

1.1. Filtrexx® Perimeter Control
the Filtrexx Design Tool, refer to the Filtrexx Design
Manual, Section 6.4 and 6.4a.
Level Contour:
Perimeter control should be placed on level contours
to assist in dissipating low concentrated flow into
sheet flow and reducing runoff flow velocity. Do not
construct perimeter control to concentrate runoff
or channel water. Sheet flow of water should be
perpendicular to the perimeter control at impact and
relatively un-concentrated. Placing perimeter control
on undisturbed soil will reduce the potential for
undermining.
Runoff and Sediment Accumulation:
Where possible, perimeter control should be placed
at a 5 ft (1.5m) or greater distance away from the toe
of the slope to allow for proper runoff accumulation
for sediment deposition and to allow for maximum
sediment storage capacity behind the device. If
a 5 ft (1.5m) distance is not available, due to
construction restrictions, a second perimeter control
may be installed to increase ponding and sediment
accumulation capacity. Steeper slopes allow less
sediment storage behind the perimeter control device
and may require larger perimeter control or shorter
slope lengths.
End Around Flow:
In order to prevent water flowing around the ends of
perimeter control, the ends of the perimeter control
must be constructed pointing upslope so the ends
are at a higher elevation. A minimum of 10 linear
ft (3m) per end each placed at a 30 degree angle is
recommended.
Vegetated Perimeter Control:
For permanent areas perimeter control can be
direct-seeded to allow vegetation established
directly in the device, and may be expanded to 5
ft (1.5m) upslope and downslope from the device,
for added performance. Vegetation on and around
the perimeter control will assist in slowing runoff
velocity for increased deposition and filtration of
pollutants. The option of adding vegetation will be
at the discretion of the Engineer. No additional soil
amendments or fertilizer are required for vegetation
establishment in the perimeter control.
Slope Spacing & Drainage Area:
Maximum drainage area to, and slope spacing
between perimeter control is dependent on: rainfall
intensity and duration used for specific design/
plan, slope steepness, and width of area draining to
the perimeter control. Refer to the Filtrexx Design
Tool developed by The Ohio State University to
accurately design a plan based on your site and
climate conditions. See Design Capacity Prediction
Tool for SiltSoxx™ and Silt Fence and Flow-Through
Rates and Evaluation of Solids Separation of Compost
FilterMedia™ vs. Silt Fence in Sediment Control
Applications (http://www.filtrexx.com/research-
library/) for more information on the Design Tool or
the research project and results used to create the tool.
Figure 1.3 provides an example of the user interface
for the Design Tool. A specification for maximum
slope lengths, based on a 1 in (25 mm)/24 hr rainfall
event is provided in Table 1.3 and Figure 1.2; and
for a 2 in (50 mm)/24 hr rainfall event is provided in
Table 1.4.
INSTALLATION
1. Perimeter control used for control of
sediment and soluble pollutants in storm
runoff shall meet Filtrexx Soxx Material
Specifications and use Filtrexx Certified
FilterMedia.
2. Contractor is required to be Filtrexx Certified
or use pre-filled Filtrexx® SiltSoxx™ products
manufactured by a Filtrexx Certified
Manufacturer as determined by Filtrexx
International (call Filtrexx at 440-926-2607 for a
current list of installers). Certification shall be
considered current if appropriate identification is
shown during time of bid or at time of application
Look for the Filtrexx Certified Seal.
3. Perimeter control will be placed at locations
indicated on plans and in a manner as directed by
the Engineer or Manufacturer.
4. Perimeter control should be installed parallel to
the base of the slope or other disturbed area.
Use on Ecologically Sensitive Sites
6 | Filtrexx® Design Manual | Version 10.0
In challenging conditions (i.e., 2:1 slopes), a
second perimeter control shall be constructed at
the top of the slope, or staking may be increased.
5. Effective Soxx height in the field should be as
follows: 5” diameter Soxx = 4” high; 8” diameter
Soxx = 6.5” high; 12” diameter Soxx = 9.5” high;
18” diameter Soxx = 14.5” high; 24” diameter
Soxx = 19” high.
6. Stakes should be installed through the middle of
the perimeter control on 10 ft (3m) centers,
using 2 in (50mm) by 2 in (50mm) by 3 ft
(1m) wooden stakes. In the event staking is not
possible, i.e., when perimeter control is used
on pavement, heavy concrete blocks shall be used
behind the perimeter control to help stabilize
during rainfall/runoff events.
7. Staking depth for sand and silt loam soils shall be
12 in (300mm), and 8 in (200mm) for clay soils.
8. Loose compost may be backfilled along the
upslope side of the perimeter control, filling the
seam between the soil surface and the device,
improving filtration and sediment retention.
9. If the perimeter control is to be left as a
permanent filter or part of the natural landscape,
it may be seeded at time of installation for
establishment of permanent vegetation. The
Engineer will specify seed requirements.
10. Perimeter control is not to be used in
perennial, ephemeral, or intermittent streams.
See design drawing schematic for correct
installation (Figure 1.1).
INSPECTION
Routine inspection should be conducted within
24 hrs of a runoff event or as designated by the
regulating authority. Perimeter control should be
regularly inspected to make sure they maintain their
shape and are producing adequate hydraulic flow-
through. If ponding becomes excessive, additional
perimeter control may be required to reduce effective
slope length or sediment removal may be necessary.
Perimeter control shall be inspected until area above
has been permanently stabilized and construction
activity has ceased.
MAINTENANCE
1. The Contractor shall maintain the perimeter
control in a functional condition at all times and
it shall be routinely inspected.
2. If the perimeter control has been damaged, it
shall be repaired, or replaced if beyond repair.
3. The Contractor shall remove sediment at the
base of the upslope side of the perimeter control
when accumulation has reached 1/2 of the
effective height of the Soxx, or as
directed by the Engineer. Alternatively, a new
perimeter control can be placed on top of and
slightly behind the original one creating more
sediment storage capacity without soil disturbance.
4. Perimeter control shall be maintained until
disturbed area above the device has been
permanently stabilized and construction activity
has ceased.
5. The FilterMedia will be dispersed on site once
disturbed area has been permanently stabilized,
construction activity has ceased, or as determined
by the Engineer.
6. For long-term sediment and pollution control
applications, perimeter control can be seeded
at the time of installation to create a vegetative
filtering system for prolonged and increased
filtration of sediment and soluble pollutants
(contained vegetative filter strip). The appropriate
seed mix shall be determined by the Engineer.
DISPOSAL/RECYCLING
FilterMedia is a composted organic product recycled
and manufactured from locally generated organic,
natural, and biologically based materials. Once all
soil has been stabilized and construction activity has
been completed, the FilterMedia may be dispersed
with a loader, rake, bulldozer or similar device and
may be incorporated into the soil as an amendment
or left on the soil surface to aid in permanent seeding
or landscaping. Leaving the FilterMedia on site
reduces removal and disposal costs compared to other
sediment control devices. The mesh netting material
will be extracted from the FilterMedia and disposed
of properly by the Contractor. The photodegradable
Close Up of Sediment Control
Construction Activities | Section 1: Sediment & Erosion Control | 7
1.1. Filtrexx® Perimeter Control
mesh netting material (Soxx) will degrade in 2 to
5 years if left on site. Biodegradable mesh netting
material is available and does not need to be extracted
and disposed of, as it will completely decompose in
approximately 6 to 12 months. Using biodegradable
perimeter control completely eliminates the need and
cost of removal and disposal.
METHOD Of MEASUREMENT
Bid items shall show measurement as 5 (125), 8
(200), 12 (300), 18 (450), 24 (600), 32 (800) inch
(mm) diameter Filtrexx® Sediment/Perimeter Control
or SiltSoxx™ per linear foot (or linear meter),
installed.
Engineer shall notify Filtrexx of location, description,
and details of project prior to the bidding process
so that Filtrexx can provide design aid and technical
support.

* Based on rainfall intensity of 12.5 cm (5 in)/hr applied to a bare clay loam soil at a 10% slope; runoff flow rate of 108 ml/sec/linear m (0.52 gpm/linear ft);
and mean runoff volume of 230 L/m2 (6.3 g/ft2).
** Functional Longevity is dependent on UV exposure, freeze/thaw frequency, region of US/Canada, runoff-sediment frequency/duration/loading, and
adherence to specified maintenance requirement.
*** Sediment Storage Capacity = sediment accumulation behind (directly upslope) + within the device.
