Ideal for construction sites, the ESSCS system offers unrivaled capacity and flexibility. According to the EPA (Construction Site Runoff Control, Minimum Control Measures), sediment runoff from construction sites is 10 to 20 times greater than from agricultural lands and 1000 times to 2000 times greater than from forested lands.

Sediment from construction activities will accumulate more quickly and can adversely impact aquatic environments in numerous ways. Some of those ways include: siltation, increased turbidity and decreased light penetration. Additionally, pollutants stored in layers of sediment can be re-mobilized and released later at vastly higher concentrations.

The ESSCS system assists municipalities, stormwater managers and contractors in meeting the EPA's NPDES Phase II Stormwater regulations for runoff from new construction site activities.
The ESSCS system is designed to fit a wide range of rectangular and combination curb/drop inlets using patented adjustable flange technology. The ESSCS system can be configured to fit any size of catch basin from 16" x 16" through 50" x 50". An ESSCS in the 24" x 48" size can retain 1100 lbs of silt and sand before it needs servicing. The ESSCS system offers high flow rates up to 1828 gpm in the larger sized basins.

The ESSCS plus system is fitted with an X-TEX AM replaceable liner. This liner can capture up to 10x’s its own weight in oils, grease, and other hydrocarbon-based compounds while still retaining particles down to 200 microns. The X-TEX AM liner is treated with a special anti-microbial agent to protect the absorbent surfaces of the fabric from forming mold or other bacteria.

Both ESSCS systems are reliable, economical and easy to maintain. In a pre-filtering role, ESSCS systems can protect new catch basin inlets from receiving and transporting large concentrations of sand, silt and construction debris. Timely installation of these simple, effective devices offers protection from costly cleanups and potential liability for downstream environmental damage.
