  • Slowly release nutrients
  • Low weight geomedia
Biofiltration
  • Contaminant removal
  • Support plant growth
  • Retain water
  • Slowly release nutrients
Constructed ponds and wetlands
  • Contaminant removal
  • Slowly release nutrients
Sand filters
  • Contaminant removal, particularly metals and organics
Level spreader/filter strips
