Skimmers

Stormwater skimmers are floating devices used in sediment basins to draw cleaner surface water while allowing heavier sediment to settle at the bottom. By slowly releasing water from the top of the basin, skimmers reduce turbidity and prevent sediment-laden discharges during and after construction activities. Products like the Faircloth Skimmer® and Marlee Float are engineered for easy installation, consistent flow rates, and compliance with EPA and state regulations. These systems are especially effective in managing water quality on sites with fine soils or sensitive downstream environments.
