Abstract
A silt guard apparatus for filtering runoff water, including a fluid distributing pan coupled to a silt guard or filtering device. The silt guard apparatus is fitted over and seated upon a drainage pipe for controlling erosion at construction sites and for trapping and preventing oily residues and/or solid particles such as silt and other debris from being washed into, collected or being otherwise deposited within a water drainage pipe with the runoff water, while still enabling water to drain therethrough. The fluid distributing pan of the present invention includes an orifice, and may further include a fluid receiving body surrounding the orifice and a connecting member contiguous with the fluid receiving body. The connecting member functions to couple the silt guard to the fluid distributing pan to form the silt-guard apparatus, which in another embodiment is interconnected and substantially sealed to the drainage pipe.
