The standard catch basin is designed to drain water usually to a sewer outlet or out to a
waterway such as a stream, river or ocean.
The filtration components for a catch basin are the frame, filters and sediment pad or
sediment bag. Catch Basins need regular inspection and cleaning to remove solid
waste.
All cities and counties in California require some type of catch basin filtration systems starting at the source. The number one unseen pollutant are hydrocarbons better known as oil from cars, trucks, roadways and parking lots.Next would be hidden particulate from heavy metals like steel, iron, zinc, copper and many more. Last, the most detrimental environmental hazard are pollutants such as salt or NACL and pesticides and waste chemicals from manufacturing and processing.In short; polluting the environment in any way is illegal and punishable by fines.The more common sizes of catch basins are 12”x12” – 18”x18” -24”x24”- 36”x36”

Curb inlets are generally designed to capture and direct rainwater collected from the street grades. These types of storm drains collect water and are moved directly to underground sewer systems which generally lead to city processing plants or ecological waterways such as rivers and streams or bio-swales.

Curb inlet filtration systems characterized by having debris baskets mounted on the inside of the curb inlet. Curb inlet baskets need constant inspection and maintenance.

A very common type of curb inlet drain is designed for heavy water flows better know as a “Dual”. This is a combination of a catch basin and a curb inlet. It will have a frame configured to filter water and collect debris.
