Embodiment Construction

[0016] In accordance with an aspect of the present invention, and referring generally to FIGS. 1 and 2, the storm drain filtering system generally comprises a frame 100 configured and dimensioned to be positioned underneath a storm drain grate 400 and one or more modular filter screen units that are removable from the frame for cleaning and / or replacement.

[0017] In an exemplary configuration, the frame 100 is a rectangular box-like structure having a solid bottom side and four side walls comprising two shorter minor sides (120, 130) and two longer major sides (140, 150). The two minor sides oppose each other and the two major sides oppose each other. The side walls may be grated. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the minor sidewalls are solid and the two major side walls are grated. The grating structure of the sidewalls may be varied in size and shape to accommodate the particular filtering needs of a given application or an installation site for the storm drain ...

RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims priority of U.S. Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 563,736, entitled Silt And Debris Filtering System For Storm Drains, filed Apr. 20, 2004, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference as if being set forth in its entirety herein.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The present invention generally relates to a storm drain filter system for filtering water flowing into a storm drain. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Filtering systems useful for storm drains generally prevent silt and other debris (e.g., dirt, gravel, tree leaves, street trash, etc.) from entering the storm drain and sewer system. Silt and other debris entering the storm drains along with rainwater and other surface water run-offs may clog the storm sewers and cause street flooding and / or damage to water treatment facilities that treat the water from storm sewers. Such problems may be exaggerated and commonly found in many construction sites or similar ...
