Patent number: 11927007Abstract: A stormwater treatment system and method for removing sediment, chemical pollutants, and debris from stormwater runoff by utilizing bioretention practices including physical, chemical and biological processes. Stormwater is directed into a primarily open-bottomed, multi-dimensional container whereby entrained sediment and other transportable materials are filtered and treated through a media filter layer consisting of inorganic and/or organic materials. A live plant (preferably a tree) situated within the container with roots resident in the media filter layer with the ability for expansion beyond the perimeter of the container through openings in one or more sidewalls. The treated water may be further conveyed beyond the perimeter of the container by additional openings and/or piping. A vertically positioned overflow/bypass/clean out piping apparatus may be included within the stormwater treatment system to provide additional water conveyance.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: MMT, Inc.Inventor: Paul Anthony Iorio

Publication number: 20220030778Abstract: A stormwater planter system containing plant material being comprised of a container fabricated of concrete, metal, plastic, or the like, that captures surface rainwater runoff or roof rainwater runoff whereby debris, sands, sediment, pollutants within the water are separated, treated and/or attenuated via multiple processes within a predetermined organic and/or non-organic aggregate material layer. The water is then discharged from the container either through internal pipe, or by direct infiltration into the subsurface environment. More particularly, the system incorporates features and structures to enable ease of maintenance, and healthier plant growth without competition from weeds and other non-desirable plant material.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2019Publication date: February 3, 2022Inventor: Paul Anthony IORIO

Publication number: 20180235158Abstract: A tree frame and grate system and growing method for the purposes of encouraging healthy and abundant root growth and permitting optimal development and growth of a tree or other plant material within an urban or otherwise primarily paved environment. The system is comprised of a preformed supporting frame to contain an engineered growing media and plant material. The engineered media, which may extend beyond the exterior of the supporting frame, is designed to promote healthy growth of the plant material, and resist compaction from overlying pavement. The frame may also support a manufactured grate or other partial enclosure. The system may be adapted for electrical service connection for aesthetic lighting, and piping to provide supplement irrigation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 11, 2016Publication date: August 23, 2018Inventor: Paul Anthony Iorio

Publication number: 20180228094Abstract: A tree frame and grate system having a liner and growing method for the purposes of encouraging healthy and abundant root growth and permitting optimal development and growth of a tree or other plant material within an urban or otherwise primarily paved environment. The system is comprised of a preformed supporting frame to contain an engineered growing media and plant material. A liner is provided to create a barrier between the system and the media within and/or surrounding the system and that of native or adjoining soils. The frame may also support a manufactured grate or other partial enclosure. The system may be adapted for electrical service connection for aesthetic lighting, and piping to provide supplement irrigation.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 3, 2018Publication date: August 16, 2018Inventor: Paul Anthony Iorio

Patent number: 8333885Abstract: A stormwater treatment system and method for removing sediment, chemical pollutants, and debris from stormwater runoff by utilizing bioretention practices including physical, chemical and biological processes by passing stormwater runoff water through a multi-phase filtering and treatment train. Stormwater is initially directed to and enters a pretreatment collection chamber located within or exterior of a primarily open-bottomed, multi-dimensional container whereby entrained sediment and other transportable materials are captured and collected prior to continued transport, filtration and treatment through a media filter layer. A live plant (preferably a tree) situated within the container with roots resident in the media filter layer with the ability for expansion beyond the perimeter of the container through openings in one or more sidewalls.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2010Date of Patent: December 18, 2012Inventor: Paul Anthony Iorio
