Weir systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a modular weir may be used to isolate suspended solids from a flow of water in a stormwater management crate array. The modular weir may include a plurality of weirs configured to isolate the flow of water from the stormwater management crate, a plurality of column grooves along the one or more weirs configured to extend around a plurality of columns in the stormwater management crate, an inlet located at a first end of the plurality of weirs configured to receive the flow of water within the stormwater management crate, and a cap located at a second end of the plurality of weirs configured to contain the flow of water within the modular weir.

Stormwater and fluid management runoff systems, apparatus, and methods for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a stormwater management box for managing stormwater runoff may be provided. The stormwater management box may include a top plate and a base plate having a plurality of spaced apart columns positioned therebetween. The stormwater management box may include one or more side panels positioned between the top plate and the base plate, each side panel comprising a cover. The stormwater management box may also include a truss, the truss running perpendicular to the vertical plane of the one or more side panels and fitting within a vertical space between an upper surface of the bottom plate and a lower surface of the top plate.

Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatuses for containing and filtering runoff are provided. Disclosed embodiments may include a top plate and a bottom plate, the top plate including a first plurality of side panel attachments. Embodiments may include a plurality of support columns between the top plate and the bottom plate. Furthermore, disclosed embodiments may also include one or more arched side panels. Stormwater management crates may be arranged into an array and include side panels of variable heights. The array of stormwater management crates may be further wrapped in sediment impervious material and serve to restrict stormwater flow as part of a stormwater management system.

Stormwater management systems, methods, and apparatus for containing and filtering runoff may be provided. In one implementation, a stormwater management crate for managing stormwater runoff may be provided. The stormwater management crate may include a top plate having a first plurality of support column attachments and one or more support column assemblies located below the top plate; the one or more support column assemblies being affixed to the top plate at the support column attachments. The stormwater management crate may further include a bottom plate having a second plurality of support column attachments located below the support column assemblies. Stormwater management crates may be arranged into an array and include side panels of variable heights. The array of stormwater management crates may be further wrapped in sediment impervious material and serve to restrict stormwater flow as part of a stormwater management system.

A module that is useful for receiving stormwater when buried in permeable media comprises a base from which a plurality of columns extends upwardly, to support two or more different-elevation horizontal plates. Each plate has a plurality of holes, through each of which a column extends. The plates are secured to the columns at their respective elevations by self-acting engaging means comprising a latch, e.g. a peg extending radially from the column, and a mating receiver, e.g., an elastically deflectable plate having a hole that receives the peg. The angular orientation around the column of the self-acting engaging means varies with the plate elevation, so that for example, the first plate is only engageable at the first elevation and the second plate is only engageable at the second elevation. A module is assembled by lifting or lowering each plate along the column lengths until the plate becomes automatically engaged at the particular plate's predetermined elevation.

A plastic article useful as a riser assembly for a septic tank or as part of another structure is comprised of a multiplicity of identical shape conical wall plastic risers. The risers are attached to each other at joints by tabs which engage rim segments; each end of the riser has alternating tabs and rim segments. A riser assembly wall undulates in the lengthwise direction. The risers nest within each other for shipment or storage.

A plastic leaching chamber is provided and includes a chamber substrate constructed from a PET material and having opposing side base flanges which lie in a horizontal plane and extend lengthwise along the chamber substrate. The chamber substrate includes opposing sidewalls extending upwardly from each of the opposing side base flanges to a top of the chamber substrate and includes a lengthwise center plane which is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The opposing sidewalls define a plurality of leaching openings having at least one tab slot opening located proximate thereto, and a plurality of louver articles constructed from at least one of a PE and a PP material. Each of the louver articles include a tab which is configured to engage a tab slot opening to securely associate the plurality of louver articles with the chamber substrate to cover the at least one leach opening.

Arched panel

A kit, and an assembly formed with components of the kit, comprises a fitting for the top of a septic tank or water tank, one or more frusto-conical rings shaped to interconnect with an identical ring to form an undulating wall riser that extends upwardly from the tank top fitting, and a lid. The lid is shaped for multi-purpose use: closing off the opening of either the large end or the small end of a ring/riser—whichever is uppermost, or closing off the fitting when there is no riser. Joints between the rings of the riser, and between a ring/riser and the fitting of a tank, are held together by latching tabs and/or screws. A fitting may be integral with a tank top.

Multi-purpose lid for septic tank and an associated riser

A multi-piece plastic tank is provided and includes a tank top section, wherein the tank top section defines a tank top opening surrounded by a top flange that extends along the length of the top flange, a tank bottom section having, wherein the tank bottom section defines a tank bottom opening surrounded by a bottom flange that extends along the length of the bottom flange, wherein the top flange and bottom flange are configured to be connected to form the multi-piece plastic tank.

A rectanguloid shape six-walled thermoplastic box for receiving and dispersing stormwater, when part of an array of like boxes that is buried in media, has interior bracing in the form of an irregular polyhedron structure comprised of up to six hollow pyramids. The truncated apexes of the pyramids meet near the center of the box. The base of each hollow pyramid is contact with, attached to, or integral with a wall at the location of an opening within which is a grate. A box may be injection molded as a single piece molding with living hinges. Alternatively, the pyramidal polyhedron structure may be formed as a separate element and placed within the walls of a box.

A safety grating has an arch shape cross section and is useful within a riser having a frusto-conical shape wall which riser is attached to a septic tank or another structure. The grating comprises a hub and radially extending arms, one or more of which is rotatable relative to the hub length at a hinge joint, to decrease the size of the grating and enable installation of the grating by passing the grating a smaller end opening of a riser.
