SIPHON DAM <br /> A filter fence is also a confinement option for water discharges <br /> involving oil. Generally, this type of fencing is difficult to set up. <br /> Items which may be used to construct a filter fence include chicken wire <br /> or any type of wire fencing. Straw or hay may also be used. However, a <br /> great deal of saturated material is generated as a result of using straw <br /> or hay which can be costly to dispose. Filter fences are typically used <br /> on faster running streams, and are only partially successful in removing <br /> oily contaminants. <br /> If the material spilled is soluble, there is very little that the first <br /> responder can do. If the waterway is small, the responder may install a <br /> dam which will help to recover or filter the water. The other option is <br /> to neutralize the chemical, rendering it inert. This will require the <br /> resources of the EPA and/or State environmental agency for technical <br /> assistance. <br /> SITE SPILL CONTROL PLAN: <br /> A copy of this plan shall remain at the command post for the duration of <br /> the project.
