Estimating the weight of wet silt requires a few considerations:

Density: Silt’s density varies depending on its composition, but we can assume a density range of roughly 120-130 pounds per cubic foot when wet.

Moisture Content: The amount of water in the silt significantly impacts its weight. Wet silt is heavier than dry silt.

Estimating Weight:

  • Lower End: Assuming a lower density of…

  • I’m sure this went over well. Everyone knows that the erosion of sediment from logging roads has been choking salmon streams for 30 years. That is why these roads are being decommissioned. DUH!
