Basics
Cartridge Filter
Cartridge filters are contained within a confined space similar to treatment vaults. Granular or media filter to remove fraction of stormwater pollutants. The proprietary filter media type should be specifically selected to target removal of the pollutants of concern, resulting in down-gradient stormwater concentration reductions. No volume loss occurs due to impervious base. Treatment BMP strategically placed in stormwater drainage path and treated water is conveyed downgradient. Typically a moderate sized Treatment BMP type constructed in Lake Tahoe.
