SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION

The StormChamber™ system improves water quality through the same process as a septic drain field. A biomat of micro-organisms forms on the soil and stone underlying the chambers, which metabolizes pollutants and converts nutrients to non-contaminating byproducts.

How soil micro-organisims eliminate pollution.
There has been significant documentation supporting and explaining the role of naturally occurring soil micro-organisms in pollution abatement. The EPA Technology Fact Sheet titled "A Citizen's Guide to Natural Attenuation" provides an excellent explanation how this process works.

Storm Chambers eliminate beach closures.
The Town of Kure Beach has long desired a way to eliminate 18 ocean outfall pipes that drain storm water runoff onto the beach and into the ocean. Over the next few weeks the Town’s Public Works Department will be installing an alternative to the old outfall pipes near L. and M. Avenues along the oceanfront. The new system was designed by the NC State University Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering and paid for by the North Carolina Department of Transportation(NCDOT).
