I am the President of a 51 year old lake association. Have silt traps been modernized in the last 20-25 years? Some of the ones that are in creeks and silt ponds leading into lake are nothing more than 2 concrete pads with wooden 2x6's raised to block silt, sticks, branches, logs, etc.
Please tell me there is a more modern way to do it even if its more expensive.
