Design Details
Stormceptor storm water treatment
systems slow incoming storm water to
create a non-turbulent treatment
environment, allowing free oils and
debris to rise and sediment to settle.
Designed to detain the storm
water runoff from a water
quality design storm for some

Each Stormceptor system maintains
continuous positive treatment of total

heavy metals and nutrients that
attach to fine sediment.

storm drain system.
Uses natural filtering ability of the
soil and plants to remove pollutants
from storm water runoff through
infiltration.
Also functions to filter out smaller pollutants by
filtering runoff water through a BioSorb Hydrocarbon
Boom (media filled sock) before it can be discharged
into the ocean.
Rocks help slow peak velocities which
maximizes pollutant removal
effectiveness by increasing residence
time of water.
