Abstract

A stormwater receiving assembly for processing stormwater containing suspended particulate matter includes a dispensing chamber and an underlying accumulating accessory. The dispensing chamber is fabricated of thin-walled plastic contoured as a corrugated wall horizontally elongated between inlet and exit ends and having an arched cross-sectional shape with upwardly directed peak and spaced apart parallel lowermost edge extremities defining an open bottom. A circular portal is located in the peak of the chamber. The accumulating accessory has a compartment bounded by sidewall structure elongated upon a vertical axis between upper and lower extremities, and is positioned below the dispensing chamber such that the portal of the dispensing chamber is in centered vertical alignment with the lower extremity of the compartment of the accumulating accessory.

Dependent claims

A stormwater receiving assembly for processing stormwater containing suspended particulate matter, comprising

a) a dispensing chamber comprised of a plastic wall horizontally elongated between inlet and exit ends and having an arched cross-sectional shape with upwardly directed peak and spaced apart parallel lowermost edge extremities adapted to rest upon a porous subterranean substrate and defining an open bottom where said particulate matter settles, said peak having portal means to facilitate servicing of said chamber, and
b) an accumulating accessory comprised of a compartment bounded by sidewall structure elongated upon a vertical axis between upper and lower extremities, said upper extremity being open and having a perimeter disposed in a plane orthogonal to said axis,
c) said accumulating accessory being positioned below said dispensing chamber in a manner such that said portal means is in centered vertical alignment with the lower extremity of said compartment.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
