Floating Debris can be organic and inorganic materials. Examples of organic material leaves, sticks, soil, and grass. Examples of inorganic material are things like plastic bottles, coffee cup lids, Styrofoam or extruded polystyrene foam, cigarettes, even car parts. There are metal hoods that cover the outflow pipes. This keeps most foreign material in the catch basin. Now some older catch basins don't have hoods on the pipes going to other drainage structures which allow floating debris to escape the catch basin and infiltrate other structures such as dry wells, inverts, head walls, sewer systems. Catch Basins can flow directly to a sump, brook, creek, river, lake, bay, and sometimes right to the ocean. It

Storm drains need cleaning when the catch basin is half-full or when flooding occurs in the yard, driveway, streets, or basement after a rainstorm. Catch Basins  can flow directly to a sump, brook, creek, river, lake, bay, and sometimes right to the ocean. It is not uncommon to find used engine oil, antifreeze, and other common solvents and toxins inside of catch basins. I have also found animals stuck in these drains, bullfrogs, a snake, big turtles, fish, and crawfish. I even found my cat Stormy, he was less than two months old stuck in a storm drain.  Keeping toxins out of  Catch Basins  and storm drains is very necessary for the environment. H

Discharge of this stored runoff from a dry well occurs through infiltration into the surrounding soils.  A dry well is a well that is used to transmit surface water underground and is deeper than its width at the surface (see image, below). Most dry wells are 30 to 70 feet deep and 3 feet wide at the surface. They are lined with perforated casings and can be filled with gravel or rock or left empty. Today, dry wells usually include some form of pretreatment to remove oil, particles, and associated contaminants, reducing the risk of clogging the wells and of transporting contaminants underground. Dry wells can be used to reduce the adverse effects of storm water runoff on streams and rivers. Capturing urban st
