ABSTRACT:
A curb inlet filter is force fit into the throat of a curb inlet to filter debris and sediment from storm water entering an inlet. The device has a filter media affixed to the lower portion of a semi-rigid “C” shaped frame with upper retention flange. The shape and upper flange of the device combine to create a secure compression fit into the receiving inlet. The design includes an overflow feature above the extents of the filter media for heavy storm events. The “C” shape of the filter and placement within the throat of the curb inlet encourages sediment and debris to be captured within the device away from pedestrian and vehicular traffic. The device can easily be removed from the curb inlet while retaining the collected sediment and debris. The captured contaminants can be disposed of by emptying the contents in a designated area.
