  • Patent number: 9963865
    Abstract: A storm water inlet filter system is disclosed which comprises at least two, but preferably three, distinct filter layers. The storm water inlet filter system uses a nested basket structure in which one filter basket fits within another. Preferably a piece of disposable filter media is placed within the internal basket. Polluted water flows first into the inner basket, and onto the disposable filter media. Overflowing water passes into the outermost basket which can remove debris. The storm water inlet filter system can be used with many existing drainage systems, and can be cleaned and the disposable filter media replaced without the use of specialized equipment or training.

  • Patent number: 7798747
    Abstract: The apparatus is an underground reservoir to capture and slowly release stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces such as roads, rooftops, and parking areas. The structure is assembled from one or more modules comprising at least two side by side precast fiber reinforced concrete vaulted shaped chambers, each with side walls and an arch top. The side by side chambers have common walls with openings in the walls. Modules placed end to end are mated at reinforced concrete end walls that include lifting pins for moving the module. Ends of the chambers are closed, but the end walls have openings for feeding stormwater in and venting air out.
