Silt does not stay where it is put very well plus dumping silt in the river bed would likely be frowned on. No shortage of material though.

Would need to be retained inside a lined abutment of some sort with a removable catcher arrangement for lead control, but it is definitely doable. One of the issues some areas have found is where to get fill cheaply enough to be viable to fabricate the control structures.
