Green Infrastructure is defined as: technologies that infiltrate, evapotranspire, capture and reuse stormwater to maintain or restore natural hydrology.
Terre Kleen is a stacked inclined plate hydrodynamic separator that pretreats stormwater by removing oil, grease, trash, debris, sediment, and nutrients and heavy metals that are attached to the sediment. The Terre Kleen does all of this in a very compact structure footprint. A key benefit of using a Terre Kleen in a LID BMP overall design is that the pretreatment of the stormwater runoff will remove the pollutants carried by the runoff before the stormwater enters the LID BMP. Oil, grease, trash, debris and sediment will not enter the LID BMP.
Terre Arch is a multi-arched precast concrete structure that is designed to maximize stormwater infiltration while facilitating use of the surface area above the Terre Arch. Terre Arch promotes Smart Growth by minimizing the land area required for development.
