Finally got the silt curtain dialed in on the Lake Erie project
After three weeks of fighting turbidity, we adjusted the anchor points and boom depth by 18 inches. Has anyone else found a better method for keeping the plume contained in a strong current?

We had a brutal time on the Mobile River last spring with a 2-knot current. The real fix for us was adding a second, smaller curtain about 15 feet upstream from the main one. It broke up the flow enough that the primary curtain could actually do its job. It was a pain to set up but cut our turbidity readings by more than half.

Wow, my buddy tried that trick on the Ohio and it saved his whole project.
