Norwalk Citizen - Capturing Contaminants: "To remove contaminants from storm water before it reaches Long Island Sound, Transpo Industries, Inc., of New Rochelle, N.Y., recently installed its EnviroSafe Modular Storm Water Catch Basin Filtration System in and around Veterans Memorial Park.
The work of retrofitting 45 storm drains with the new filtering technology was done under a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.
According to Department of Public Works senior civil engineer Michael Yeosock, because the EnviroSafe technology is so new, the city decided to install a limited number of the devices in a 'demonstration process.' This will allow the technology's effectiveness to be evaluated for Norwalk and other municipalities in Connecticut, Yeosock said during a press conference at the park at which the installation was demonstrated. If the system appears to be effective, the city most likely will retrofit more of the catch basins, he said."
