Abstract
A device and method for anchoring a silt barrier curtain intermediate primary barrier supports to enhance erosion control. The device has interlocking members protruding from a base designed to clamp onto the lower edge of a silt curtain. The device and the silt curtain locked therein are then buried during barrier construction to a predetermined depth. Indicia on the exterior of the device allow easy verification of proper burial depth. The device may be used on cyclone style fences, or used in aquatic environments to prevent silt or floating debris from intruding into a protected area.
