A retention media for removing substances from water that includes an aggregate; at least one granular adsorbing material capable of adsorbing nutrients and metals; and a, wherein theperforms as a binder to adhere the at least one granular adsorbing material to the aggregate to form a high permeability media mix is disclosed. A method of manufacturing a media mix is disclosed that includes creating a dry mixture of aggregate, at least one granular absorbing material, and a; and saturating the dry mixture with water to create a bond between the at least one granular absorbing material, and the aggregate via thethereby forming a high permeability media mix (HPMM). A method of using a media mix to reduce concentration of substances in water includes installing materials over granular adsorbing material, aggregate; andto reduce concentration of phosphorous or nitrogen or metals in the water.

A filtration system and method are provided for removing suspended solids and other affiliated pollutants from stormwater runoff and any other contaminated water. The filtration system and method utilize a filtration medium including steel slag. By improving or replacing a conventional filtration media, such as a sand filtration system, with a filtration medium including steel slag, the removal efficiency of suspended solids and affiliated pollutants is improved and the lifespan of the filtration system is lengthened.
