Oldcastle Stormwater Case Study
Oldcastle Stormwater Solution’s PerkFilter™ stormwater media treatment device has been verified by the New Jersey Corporation for Advanced Technology (NJCAT), one of the most comprehensive, rigorous, and recognized verification programs in the United States, and additionally certified by New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) as an approved manufactured treatment device (MTD) based on recent laboratory test results.
Approved for at least 80% TSS removal in accordance with the NJDEP filtration protocol, PerkFilter is rated at 18 GPM, while similar competitive units are approved at 15 GPM.
Used to reduce pollutant loading in runoff from urban developments, the PerkFilter stormwater media filtration device captures and retains …show more content…
We are excited to offer such a comprehensive solution. The NJDEP approval will give designers an effective tool to meet stormwater treatment requirements with full engineering design support and provide a cost-effective and easy to maintain option for contractors and owners.”
The PerkFilter unit offers an innovative and economic alternative for Best Management Practice (BMP) implementation in new and retrofit applications where space is limited and effective stormwater treatment is required. The PerkFilter device can be used to help meet Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) requirements for removal of solids, trash, debris, and petroleum hydrocarbons. The device can also be a critical component of a comprehensive Low Impact Development (LID) strategy to help increase the service life of infiltration, detention, and retention systems as well as other stormwater treatment

    Superfund Ground Case Study

    Such investigation noted that groundwater contamination is concentrated in the southern portion of the property (near the Passaic River). A groundwater extraction system has been in operation since June 1998 to control off-site migration of shallow groundwater to the Passaic River and remove contaminant mass. Once the extracted groundwater is treated to acceptable levels, it is put back into the ground on-site. (Inmont Corporation.2015). In addition, Inmont will continue to operate and maintain the groundwater treatment system. Over time, this system is expected to totally capture the contaminant plume in shallow groundwater. Due to the previous accidents the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) will periodically evaluate the system's performance and determine if the system needs improvements or anything has to be done to correct it. (Basic…

    Bottoms Up Olive Heffernan Analysis

    After her tour of the facilities, she’s presented with three water-filled glass containers and challenged to assign each container to a selection of choices: tap water, traditionally treated wastewater, and purified sewage water. This test is obviously to prove the quality of the facility’s purification process because the purified sewage water is aesthetically the cleanest and purist. After this demonstration, Heffernan was immediately engaged and supportive of the San Diego AWPF’s mission and project. She also explains that because of the reoccurring droughts, many residents of California are starting to favor the idea of reusing sewage water, with the stipulation that all purified sewage water be released into reservoirs before use, a process known as indirect potable reuse. The San Diego Public Utilities Department also recommends this procedure but suggested an extra step. Known as direct potable reuse, this method would intensify the purification process and skip the reservoir, sending it straight to the tap. No one knows which technique will be implemented, but, Heffernan explains that whichever process does succeed will persuade California regulators in the…

    Desalination Case Study

    Governmental agencies such as the USBR have a guiding vision that "By 2020, desalination and water purification technologies will contribute significantly to ensuring a safe, sustainable, affordable, and adequate water supply for the United States". Other key drivers in the market include localized water shortages, saltwater intrusion into underground aquifers, political involvement, reduced plant prices and the thought that alternative water supply options such as recycling of sewage effluent remain unacceptable. Some of the key restraints include presently sufficient water supplies, the relative high cost of desalinated water and increased rates of water reuse and recycling for agricultural and industrial use…

    Technology in Context

    The readings from Bijker, Klinenberg, and Kimmelman collectively address the issue of storm water management within a variety of contexts: from its historical development to examples of successful strategies worldwide. Climate change is a global reality, and is prompting national responses to manage the severe weather it brings. Ultimately, the contexts affecting US water management strategy today have and will make the difference between the failures of the past, and a successful and sustainable national strategy for the future.…

    Guidelines for Collection, Care and Control of Rainwater in Tanks

    Tanks are available in galvanised steel, zincalume, fibreglass and concrete and all are suitable for the storage of potable water. Rainwater tanks should protect water from contamination. Contaminants such as industrial pollutants, dust, leaves, pollens, pesticide sprays, fertilisers, debris, vermin, birds, small animals and insects should be prevented from gaining access to the water. Whenever possible tanks should be installed in a shady position but away from trees from which falling leaves might clog screens or contaminate the water. Cover, Lids and Screens Tanks should be covered and all openings provided with close fitting lids or gauze mesh screens. Inlet Screens Water should be screened before entering the tank to reduce the introduction of contaminants which could foul or discolour the water and contribute to the build-up of sludge. Larger contaminant material can be filtered from water entering a tank by a suitably fitted gauze mesh screen. Various in-line screens and filtering devices have been marketed in South Australia. However, if such screens are not available as a standard item they can readily be made to order. Screens and filters need to be positioned and fitted so that they are readily accessible for regular cleaning, particularly where leaves fall onto the catchment area. The locating of the inlet filling pipe so as to discharge in a central position immediately over the tank access opening (manhole), but so as not to inhibit regular cleaning of screening, is a recommended practice. The access opening should be screened in a manner such that the screen mesh gauze fits onto the bottom of a collar approximately 50mm in depth thus providing a sunken dished reservoir on the roof of the…
