Basic components for effective skimmer basin design
Sediment basins have long been the primary means of providing sediment control on larger construction sites and have generally been accepted as effective. In recent years, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recognized a way to significantly improve sediment basin trapping efficiency by requiring the basins to utilize an outlet that discharges from the surface. The most common and cost-effective method is to utilize a floating pond skimmer. Skimmers have been shown to increase the sediment trapping efficiency of sediment basins by 40% or more.
