Abstract: The invention provides components, structures, methods, and assemblies for applying feeding materials to plants. The invention may include a permeable structure constructed of a woven material incorporating nutrient-rich material (such as compost, fertilizers, soil amendments, soil supplements, or other material). The structure may be substantially closed around the edges and allow for the flow of water and other material therethrough to plants and surrounding vegetation.

Abstract: The invention provides components, structures, methods, and assemblies for controlling sedimentation and debris flow associated with soil erosion. The invention also provides components, structures, methods, and assemblies that are useful for anchoring fiber rolls along a sloped surface.

Abstract: A system and method for measuring the efficiency of social media campaigns. The system collects searchable activity data of members of a social network and processes this data locally to extract interaction data happening on the profile page of the social media campaign on the social network. The interaction data is then weighed in accordance with its type. The system may also determine a reach of the campaign and a responsiveness score of a user. The system may also determine an effort score representing a monetary value of the profile page based on the volume of contribution by the owners of the social media campaign. The efficiency score may then be determined based on a relationship between the number of interactions, the weight associated with each interaction, the reach, the responsiveness score, and the effort score.

Abstract: The invention provides systems, associated component parts, and assemblies of the pre-filtration systems, that are useful for treating storm water entering underground storm water management systems. The invention further provides methods to pre-filter storm water prior to entering underground water management systems. The invention reduces pollutant loading in storm water runoff with minimal footprint, flexibility of use and ease of maintenance.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for use in conjunction with grassy swales to collect and filter or otherwise treat dirty or polluted storm water runoff or other fluid is disclosed. The swale overflow screen device is used in connection with a catch basin. One or more swale overflow screen devices are installed within a bioretention swale, such that during periods of routine flow, at least a portion of storm water runoff or other passing fluids can enter the swale overflow screen device, through the catch basin, and be released to a drainage system.

Abstract: The invention provides structures, methods, and assemblies for processing fluid entering a treatment area. The invention also provides methods, apparatuses, and additional structures that are useful for managing storm water flow and inhibiting the flow of pollutants, debris, and other contaminants into drainage systems. One or more flow diverter pans are installed at one or more inlets of a treatment area, such as a bioretention treatment area or a storm water retention and detention system. The apparatus comprises a structural framework that can include a pan placed adjacent to an inlet of the treatment area, and internal walls extending upward from the floor of the pan and at least partially framing a bypass opening adjacent to the floor. Inlet and outlet openings of the pan define a primary flow route for fluid passing through the pan and to the surface of the treatment area. Inlet and bypass openings of the pan comprise a secondary flow route for fluid passing through the tray.

Abstract: The invention provides structures, methods, and assemblies for incorporating fixtures and appliances, such as a tree, street lamp, or light pole, into a bioretention system. The invention also provides methods, filtration modules, and additional structures that are useful for managing storm water flow and inhibiting the flow of pollutants, debris, and other contaminants into drainage systems.

Abstract: The invention provides a bioretention system comprising one or more chambers and a high flow bypass system with top and bottom weirs for water filtration and storm water flow management. The invention also provides methods that are useful for managing storm water flow and inhibiting the flow of pollutants, debris, and other contaminants into drainage systems.

Abstract: The invention provides modular units, associated component parts, and assemblies of the modular units and component parts, including storage and filtration systems, that are useful for making and using underground water management systems.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for use in conjunction with box culverts to collect and filter or otherwise treat dirty or polluted storm water runoff or other fluid is disclosed. One or more filter devices with filter media is used in connection with a box culvert. One or more internal bypass assemblies is disposed along a vertical surface in the box culvert. One or more concrete slabs is installed within the box culvert and forms a false floor below the filter devices. The false floor provides an annular space through which fluid can bypass the filter devices and be released to a drainage system.
