Abstract
A stormwater treatment device may include a crossflow settling device having a treatment channel defined by a front baffle, a rear baffle, and a pair of angled plates provided at supplementary angles therebetween and disposed between the front baffle and the rear baffle, the front baffle having a treatment channel opening and the rear baffle having a treatment channel outlet. Under normal flow, stormwater flows into the inlet and into the inlet chamber, into the treatment channel via the treatment channel opening, into the outlet chamber via the treatment channel outlet in a crossflow pattern causing the sediment to fall out of suspension, and out of the crossflow settling device through openings at the bottom of the pairs of angled plates.
