b'GENERAL INFORMATIONThe ParkUSA FilterBasin is a family of stormwater best management practice (BMP) devices designed to fit within common basin structures to provide an economical best management practice solution. In this way, stormwater runoff treatment provides protection from pollutants entering rain gardens, public waterways, streams, rivers, lakes and aquifers. Vehicles traveling over streets, driveways, and parking lots leave hydrocarbons from vehicle lubricant leaks, metals produced by brake pad wear, and tire residue. These pollutants are picked up by stormwater runoff during the storms first flush event when pollutant concentration is highest. As rainwater accumulates on pavement, the stormwater will flow to the lowest point, where catchment structures like catch basins and curb inlets are typically installed. These basins present an opportunity to pre-filter the stormwater prior to discharging into rain gardens and storm sewers. The FilterBasin family of products provides the best solution to pre-filtration requirements on these types of events.166'
