SMG-9 Figure 12 - Large Flow Bypass Schematic<br />
Most street and road particulate matter is in coarser fractions however, most<br />
stormwater contaminants are associated with fine particles. As sand filters have two<br />
chambers, the sedimentation chamber will remove the coarse sands and gravels<br />
while the filtration chamber will remove the finer silts and clays.<br />
Recent work done by the Facility for Advancing Water Biofiltration (FAWB) in<br />
Australia has indicated excellent TSS and metals removal with soil and sand-based<br />
filters that are non-vegetated (FAWB, 2008). A key element in the conclusion is that<br />
wetting and drying are key elements in treatment.<br />
SMG-9.4.3.2 <strong>Detailed</strong> <strong>Design</strong> Procedure<br />
Please refer to DS-5 <strong>Stormwater</strong> of the Infrastructure Development Code for more<br />
design details.<br />
The sand filtration chamber is sized by a variation of Darcy’s Law.<br />
Af = Vwqdf/k(h+df)tf<br />
Where:<br />
Af = surface area of sand bed (m 2 )<br />
Vwq = water quality volume<br />
df = sand bed depth (m)<br />
k = coefficient of permeability for sand (metres/day)<br />
h = average depth of water (WQ storm) above surface of sand (m) (1/2 max. depth<br />
