Abstract
A ditch check system and methods for storm water control are provided. The ditch check system can include a velocity-restricting component of non-woven geotextile fabric with one or more porosities configured to control the velocities of storm water flows for sediment control and silt retention. The velocity-restricting component can have one or more reinforcing elements to provide additional support to protect against tearing and/or undue movement of the fabric, as well as provide attachment points for fasteners used to fasten the fabric to support members. The ditch check system can further include a front water seal and a rear scour guard attached to the velocity-restricting component at ground level which are substantially impermeable to vertical water flow to inhibit ditch scouring and prevent the flow of storm water under the ditch check system. To facilitate transportation, installation, and assembly, one or more of the components of the ditch check system can be supplied as a pre-assembled package.
