Optimized Hydromodification Management With Active Stormwater Controls
20180011452 · 2018-01-11 ·

A system, methodology, and programming logic for active stormwater controls to optimize sizing and design of Hydromodification Management (HM) structural Best Management Practices (BMPs) to achieve optimal flow duration control. Control logic enables the controlled release of stormwater from a BMP in a manner most akin to pre-development flow duration curves. Inputs to this logic include: flow duration curves based on continuous hydrologic simulation for pre- and post-development conditions; real-time measurement of water level within the BMP; and real-time measurement of discharge entering the BMP. This control logic can interact with control logic for other stormwater management objectives, such as harvest and reuse, infiltration, and combined sewer overflow prevention, and respective inputs, such as real-time weather forecast data, precipitation gage data, downstream flow gauge data, and water quality data, to meet those design objectives as well. New HM BMPs can be optimized to be smaller and, thus, more feasible to implement. Existing stormwater facilities designed for flood control or other management objectives can be retrofitted to provide hydromodification control as well. When utilized with real-time flow and water level monitoring equipment and data, the flow release logic can be adaptively adjusted without physical retrofit of the BMP's outlet.

Stormwater capture housing system

A stormwater capture housing system designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by filtering solid waste from stormwater flow in roadways, transportation facilities, and pavement, while maintaining an optimal flow rate and enabling safe accessibility. The system comprises a housing unit with top grates that enable stormwater and solid waste to drain from the roadway into a sub-grade capture area formed by a screen weir and a screen box. The screen box ensures that the solid waste is collected while the water filters into a clean water area. The screen weir also filters solid waste and is further configured to allow for an overflow of stormwater and solid waste. Another section of the top wall has a filled grating configuration that allows for stormwater to drain without passing any solid waste to prevent flooding, also enabling access to the internal components of the housing system.

METHOD TO ENHANCE SOLIDS AND LIQUIDS FLOW THROUGH A STORMWATER CONTAINMENT VOLUME
20220396945 · 2022-12-15 ·

A method to enhance the ability of a stormwater containment volume to flow and flush solids and liquids. Implemented by depositing rock into shaped piles formed at the rock's angle of repose, the resultant inclined surfaces are covered with suitable waterproof material and covered with more rock up to the top surface. Stormwater flushes solids deposited on the surface downward into the volume where they contact the inclined surfaces. Water and solids flow down the inclined surfaces at increased velocity toward collection drainpipes at their base. Because sediment flows into drainpipes, it does not flow to the bottom of the volume or become stagnant or reduce the volume's capacity. This creates a low-cost stormwater containment system that can support vehicle travel on its surface, requires no concrete or sewers, is self-cleaning, accessible for cleaning, or both, and does not require human access to the bottom surface for maintenance.
