check dam and polyacrylamide used to reduce sediment
Fiber Check Dams and Polyacrylamide for Water Quality
2017). Check dams reduce erosion by reducing flow velocities. Sediment trapping can occur at lower flow velocities, but construction staff should not use check dams solely for this purpose. Siting and Design Considerations Construction staff can build check dams using a variety of materials: most commonly rock, sand-or gravel -filled

Check dam and polyacrylamide performance under simulated
This guide from the EPA is designed for construction site operators who control construction plans or supervise day-to-day construction site activities. The guide will help with developing a quality stormwater pollution prevention plan (SWPPP) and is applicable to any construction site required to comply with stormwater discharge requirements.

Check dam - Wikipedia
A check dam placed in the ditch, swale, or channel interrupts the flow of water and flattens the gradient of the channel, thereby reducing the velocity. In turn, this obstruction induces infiltration and reduces eroding. [1] They can be used not only to slow flow velocity but also to distribute flows across a swale to avoid preferential paths
