Stormwater system for managing and controlling sediment capture
Disclosed embodiments relate to a stormwater management system. In some embodiments, the stormwater management system may comprise a plurality of stormwater crates connected in one or more rows and a sediment capture row located within the plurality of stormwater crates. In some embodiments, the sediment capture row may comprise one or more stormwater crates connected in a row, a geotextile wrap surrounding the one or more stormwater crates, a plurality of side panels located on an outer side of the geotextile wrap, and a front panel connected to a front end of the sediment capture row.
1 . A stormwater management system, comprising:
a plurality of stormwater crates connected in one or more rows; and
a sediment capture row located within the plurality of stormwater crates,
the sediment capture row comprising:
one or more stormwater crates connected in a row;
a geotextile wrap surrounding four sides of the one or more stormwater crates forming the sediment capture row;
a plurality of side panels installed around a perimeter of the one or more stormwater crates forming the sediment capture row and located on an outer side of the geotextile wrap;
a front panel connected to a front end of the sediment capture row;
wherein the front panel comprises an opening configured to receive a flow of stormwater from an inlet
one or more stormwater cubes disposed at an end of the sediment capture row, the one or more stormwater cubes comprising a plurality of columns; and
a cleanout structure comprising a manhole, and wherein the sediment capture row further comprises an opening through a top of one of the one or more stormwater crates configured to connect to the cleanout structure, wherein the cleanout structure extends from a ground-level downward to the opening when the stormwater management system is underground.
2 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , further comprising an inlet structure configured to direct a flow of stormwater to the plurality of stormwater crates.
3 . The stormwater management system of claim 2 , wherein the inlet structure comprises a weir configured to direct the flow of stormwater to the sediment capture row.
4 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein a height of the one or more stormwater cubes is half a height of the one or more stormwater crates.
5 . The stormwater management system of claim 4 , wherein the sediment capture row further comprises two stormwater cubes stacked vertically.
6 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein the geotextile wrap comprises at least one of a woven geotextile fabric, a nonwoven geotextile fabric, a bituminous covering, or a synthetic polymer plastic sheeting.
7 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein the geotextile wrap is configured to filter debris from a flow of stormwater through the sediment capture row.
8 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of side panels are configured to provide structural support to the sediment capture row.
9 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of side panels are configured to support the geotextile wrap.
10 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein the front panel further comprises a 6-oz nonwoven geotextile fabric at the front end of the sediment capture row.
11 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein an end of the sediment capture row opposite the front end comprises a 6-oz nonwoven geotextile fabric.
12 . The stormwater management system of claim 11 , wherein the end of the sediment capture row opposite the front end further comprises a side panel of the plurality of side panels on an outer side of the 6-oz nonwoven geotextile fabric.
13 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of stormwater management crates are stacked vertically.
14 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein the geotextile wrap surrounds the one or more stormwater crates of the sediment capture row around four sides.
15 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein a filtered flow of stormwater exits from the sediment capture row to the plurality of stormwater management crates.
16 . The stormwater management system of claim 14 , further comprising:
water permeable media surrounding the plurality of stormwater management crates; and
wherein the plurality of stormwater management crates are configured to disperse the filtered flow of stormwater into the surrounding water permeable media.
17 . The stormwater management system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more stormwater cubes are disposed at an end of the sediment capture row opposite the front end.
