Slide 33 of 43
Notes:
This slide shows a schematic of a plan and profile of a typical filter strip. Filter strips are designed to receive runoff through sheet flow along a level plain. For paved surfaces, provide multiple entry points are recommended (utilizing curb stops, instead of concrete curb and gutter). For pervious surfaces, ensure that the entry point is level at the top of the filter strip. A concrete "level spreader" may be necessary for some applications.
