I <br /> I <br /> SMI's application included a satisfactory"Factors other than treatment performance" <br /> discussion. <br /> Note: Ecology's 80% TSS removal goal applies to 100 mg/l and greater influent TSS. <br /> Below 100 mg/L influent TSS, the goal is 20 mg/L effluent TSS. <br /> Technology Description: <br /> The Stormwater Management StormFilter® a flow-through stormwater <br /> g (StormFilter), g <br /> filtration system, improves the quality of stormwater runoff from the urban environment <br /> by removing pollutants. The StormFilter is used to treat runoff from a wide variety of <br /> sites including,but not limited to: retail and commercial development,residential streets, <br /> urban roadways, freeways, and industrial sites such as shipyards, foundries, etc. <br /> Operation: <br /> The StormFilter is typically comprised of a vault that houses rechargeable,media-filled, <br /> filter cartridges. Various media may be used,but this designation covers only the zeolite- <br /> perlite-granulated activated carbon(ZPGTM)medium. Stormwater from storm drains is <br /> percolated through these media-filled cartridges, which trap particulates and may remove <br /> pollutants such as dissolved metals,nutrients, and hydrocarbons. During the filtering <br /> process,the StormFilter system also removes surface scum and floating oil and grease. <br /> Once filtered through the media,the treated stormwater is directed to a collection pipe or <br /> discharged to an open channel drainage way. <br /> This document includes a bypass schematic for flow rates exceeding the water quality <br /> design flow rate on page 8. <br /> IStormFilter Configurations: <br /> Contech offers the StormFilter in multiple configurations: precast, high flow, catch basin, <br /> curb inlet, linear, volume, corrugated metal pipe, dry-well, and CON/Span form. Most <br /> configurations use pre-manufactured units to ease the design and installation process. <br /> Systems may be either uncovered or covered underground units. <br /> The typical precast StormFilter unit is composed of three sections: the energy dissipater, <br /> the filtration bay, and the outlet sump. As Stormwater enters the inlet of the StormFilter <br /> vault through the inlet pipe, piping directs stormwater through the energy dissipater into <br /> the filtration bay where treatment will take place. Once in the filtration bay, the <br /> stormwater ponds and percolates horizontally through the media contained in the <br /> StormFilter cartridges. After passing through the media, the treated water in each <br /> cartridge collects in the cartridge's center tube from where piping directs it into the outlet <br /> sump by a High Flow Conduit under-drain manifold. The treated water in the outlet <br /> 1 sump discharges through the single outlet pipe to a collection pipe or to an open channel <br /> drainage way. In some applications where you anticipate heavy grit loads, pretreatment <br /> by settling may be necessary. <br /> I <br /> CONTECH-StormFilter®GULD Maintenance Update(November 2012) Page 17 <br /> I <br />
