Silt fence is needed on three sides of a 220 ft by 140 ft disturbed pad; the remaining 220 ft side is protected by a stabilized construction entrance. Adding 5 percent for overlaps and returns, what fence length should be ordered?

Correct Answer

C) 525 ft

The three protected sides total 220 + 140 + 140 = 500 ft. Adding 5 percent gives 500 x 1.05 = 525 ft. Other choices omit overlaps, fence all four sides incorrectly, or add a larger allowance.
