Patent attributes
Stormwater drain inserts that reduce or eliminate environmental runoff during rain storms and the like are described. The stormwater drain inserts are water permeable, but capture sediment, hydrocarbons, heavy metals and other contaminants. The stormwater drain inserts are adjustable in size in order to fit into various sizes of storm drain chambers, resting on the lip between the top grate and the chamber. The stormwater drain inserts include a top bib with a central sediment bag extending downward therefrom. Overflow ports are provided in the sediment bag, and an inwardly extending overhang ring directs incoming water flow away from the overflow ports as it enters the sediment bag. The top bib, sediment bag and overhang ring may be made of water permeable oleniphilic fabric that helps trap oils and other hydrocarbons.
