NOTE: It is strongly recommended that pretreatment devices be certified through Washington State's TAPE or New Jersey's NJCAT programs, be modeled using SHSAM, or follow guidance in this manual for vegetated filter strips and forebays.
Screens provide a very specific and limited function of collecting large pollutants from stormwater runoff at defined sites along the stormwater flow network. Screens do not provide volume reduction, peak flow reduction, sedimentation, infiltration, filtration, sorption and biological processes.
