A manufactured treatment device (mtd) is a pre-fabricated stormwater treatment structure utilizing settling (sedimentation), filtration, absorptive/adsorptive materials, vortex separation, vegetative components, and/or other appropriate technology to remove pollutants from stormwater runoff (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection). MTDs are typically proprietary devices.
