3. The water quality design flow rates are calculated using the following procedures:
Western Washington: For treatment installed upstream of detention or retention,
the water quality design flow rate is the peak 15-minute flow rate as calculated using
the latest version of the Western Washington Hydrology Model or other Ecology-
approved continuous runoff model.
Eastern Washington: For treatment installed upstream of detention or retention,
the water quality design flow rate is the peak 15-minute flow rate as calculated using
one of the three methods described in Chapter 2.2.5 of the Stormwater Management
Manual for Eastern Washington (SWMMEW) or local manual.
Entire State: For treatment installed downstream of detention, the water quality
design flow rate is the full 2-year release rate of the detention facility.
4. The basic treatment CULD expires on October 30, 2017 unless extended by Ecology.
5. All designations are subject to the conditions specified below.
6. Properly designed and operated CDS systems may also have applicability in other
situations (example: low-head situations such as bridges or ferry docks), for TSS
removal where, on a case-by-case basis, it is found to be infeasible or impracticable to
use any other approved practice. Jurisdictions covered under the Phase I or II
municipal stormwater permits should use variance/exception procedures and criteria as
required by their NPDES permit.

Contech CDS® CULD Application for Basic Treatment submitted to Washington State
Department of Ecology (April 2015)
NJCAT Technology Verification High Efficiency Continuous Deflective Separator
(CDS®) (January 2010)
Request:
Conditional use level designation as a suspended solids device in accordance with
Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington.
Based on NJCAT field verification, the CDS® System will achieve 95% removal of total
suspended solids -mg/L and a mean influent of 332-
mg/L. The CDS® will achieve 65% removal efficiency of suspended sediment concentration
(<50-) with a median influent of 35-mg/L and a mean influent of 40-mg/L. For the field
verification the CDS® System was evaluated at flows between 8% and 103% design flow rate.
Recommendation:
Ecology finds that:
The system, sized per the table above, should provide, at a minimum, equivalent
performance to a Basic Treatment Device as defined in the most recent Stormwater
Management Manual for Western Washington, Volume V.
Findings of Fact:
1. Contech completed field testing on a CDS 2025 unit equipment with a 2400-µm screen.
Contech performed the testing in the Borough of Point Pleasant, New Jersey following
the TARP Tier II Protocol (TARP, 2003) and New Jersey Tier II Stormwater Test
Requirements Amendments to TARP Tier II Protocol (NJDEP, 2006). Contech
evaluated the system was evaluated at flow rates ranging 8 to 103% of the design flow
rate (1.6 cfs). Influent TSS concentrations (<2000 µm) ranged from 24 to 2259 mg/L,
with a median of 154 mg/L and influent SSC concentrations (<50 µm) ranged from 5 to
125 mg/L, with a median of 35 mg/L. Based on the total event loading, results showed an
overall removal efficiency of 95% for TSS (<2000 µm) and an overall removal efficiency
of 65% for SSC (<50 µm).
2. CDS Technology has been widely accepted with over 6,200 installations in the United
States and Canada. There are over 1,380 installations in Washington and Oregon.

Based on laboratory trials, the System will achieve 50% removal of total suspended
solids with d50 of 50-50 of 125-
design flowrate with typical influent concentration of 200-mg/L.
Contech can design t concentration less than 10 mg/L
for total petroleum hydrocarbons.
The CDS system equipped with standard oil baffle and addition of oil sorbent is effective in
control of oil and maintain the TPH level below the Ecology-specified level (<10-mg/L) for
applications in typical urban runoff pollution control.
Recommendation:
Ecology finds that:
The system, sized per the table above, should provide, at a minimum, equivalent
performance to a presettling basin as defined in the most recent Stormwater Management
Manual for Western Washington, Volume V, Chapter 6.
Findings of Fact:
1. Laboratory testing was completed on a CDS 2020 unit equipped with 2400-m screen using
OK-110 sand (d50 of 106-at flowrates ranging from 100 to 125% of the design flowrate
(1.1 cfs) with a target influent of 200 mg/L. Laboratory results for the OK-110 sand showed
removal rates from about 65% to 99% removal with 80% removal occurring near 70% of the
design flowrate.
2. Laboratory testing was completed on a CDS 2020 unit equipped with 2400-m screen using
50 of 20 to 30-00 to 125% of the design
flowrate (1.1 cfs) with a target influent of 200 mg/L. Laboratory results for the
sediment showed removal rates from about 42% to 94% removal with 80% removal
occurring at 5% of the design flowrate.
3. Laboratory testing was completed on a CDS 2020 unit equipped with 4700-m screen using
OK-110 sand (d50 of 106-ng from 100 to 125% of the design flowrate
(1.1 cfs) with a target influent of 200 mg/L. Laboratory results for the OK-110 sand showed
removal rates from about 45% to 99% removal with an average removal of 83.1%.
4. Laboratory testing was completed on a CDS 2020 unit equipped with 4700-m screen using
50 of 20 to 30-00 to 125% of the design
flowrate (1.1 cfs) with a target influent of 200 mg/L. Laboratory results for the
sediment showed removal rates from about 39% to 88% removal with an average removal of
56.1%.
5. Contech completed laboratory testing on a CDS2020 unit using motor oil at flowrates
ranging from 25% to 75% of the design flowrate (1.1 cfs) with influents ranging from 7 to 47
mg/L. Laboratory results showed removal rates from 27% to 92% removal. A spill test was
also run at 10% of the design flowrate with an influent of 82,000 mg/L with an average
percent capture of 94.5%
6. Independent parties in California, Florida, and Australia completed various field studies.
Field studies showed the potential for the unit to remove oils and grease and total suspended
solids, and capture 100% gross solids greater than the aperture size of the screen under
treatment flow rate.
7. Contech is conducting a field evaluation of a CDS2015 with Sorbents for oil and grease
removal. To date, the unit has been evaluated at flow rates ranging from 42% to 119% of the
design flow rate (0.28cfs) with influent motor oil concentrations ranging from 0.46 to 64.8
mg/L (median of 4.5 mg/L; mean of 12.6 mg/L). A preliminary report showed a mean motor
oil removal efficiency of 72%, with a UCL95 for effluent concentration of 0.75 mg/L.
8. CDS Technology has been widely accepted with over 6,200 installations in the United States
and Canada. There are over 1,380 installations in Washington and Oregon.

Stormwater Treatment Technologies Approved through TAPE and CTAPE
Ecology certification of a product through the TAPE program does not require local jurisdictions to accept the product for use or allow use within their boundaries. In
addition to Ecology certification, local jurisdiction approval is required for installation of treatment technologies with Pilot (PULD), Conditional (CULD), or General (GULD)
Use Level Designations. Local jurisdictions may choose not to accept products approved through TAPE, or may require additional testing prior to consideration for local
approval.
Ecology will accept written comments on technologies that have received General Use Level Designations (GULD). Unless and until a technology has received a GULD, the
submitted documents are considered work product and not available for public release. You may request copies of the final documents by filling out a Public Records
Request form. Information needed for all record requests include: requester's name, phone number, company, date of request, date of requested review, report name
and type of file.
Emerging Technologies
The following table lists the devices that have received a designation through the TAPE process. Click on the tabs above the table to narrow the table down to devices that
meet your target treatment goal (Pretreatment, Oil, Enhanced, Basic, Phosphorous or Construction)
You can also narrow the devices shown in the table based on the "Search:" entered in the box. Sort by clicking on column headings. If you want to sort on multiple headin
hold the shift key while you click on multiple headings.

Pretreatment
Pretreatment is generally applied to:
• Project sites using infiltration treatment
• Treatment systems where needed to assure and extend performance of the downstream basic or enhanced treatment facility
Intended to achieve 50% removal of fine (50 micron-mean size) and 80% removal of coarse (125-micron-mean size) total suspended solids for influent concentrations
greater than 100 mg/L, but less than 200 mg/L. For influent concentrations less than 100 mg/L, the facilities are intended to achieve effluent goals of 50 mg/L of fine and
20 mg/L of coarse total suspended solids.
Oil Treatment
Intended to achieve the goals of no ongoing or recurring visible sheen and a daily average total petroleum hydrocarbon concentration no greater than 10 mg/L with a
maximum of 15 mg/L for discrete (grab) samples.
Basic Treatment
Intended to achieve a goal of 80% removal of total suspended solids for an influent concentration range of 100 mg/L to 200 mg/L.
For influent concentration less than 100 mg/L the effluent goal is 20 mg/L total suspended solids.
For influent concentrations greater than 200 mg/L a higher treatment goal is intended. Technologies listed in this section with a GULD designation are also approved for
Pre-treatment in accordance with Volume V Section 6.2 of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) and Section 5.2.1 of the
Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (SWMMEW).
Enhanced Treatment
Intended to achieve a higher level of treatment than basic treatment. Enhanced treatment is targeted at removing dissolved metals.
Phosphorous Treatment
Intended to achieve a goal of 50% total phosphorus removal for an influent concentration range of 0.1 to 0.5 mg/L as well as achieving basic treatment.
Construction Site
Construction treatment is intended to achieve the goals of a maximum of 5 NTUs above background (background of 50 NTUs or less), not more than 10% increase in
turbidity where background is greater than 50 NTUs, pH of 6.5-8.5 in freshwater and 7.0-8.5 in marine water, and no visible oil sheen.
Ecology's use level designation's are as follows:
GULD - General Use Level Designation
General Use Level Designation (GULD) technologies may be used in Washington subject to use level designation conditions.
CULD - Conditional Use Level Designation
Conditional Use Level Designation (CULD) allows continued use of the technology for a specified time period during which field testing must be completed by the vendor
and/or developer. Not all CULD technologies are required to conduct field testing. Units that are in place do not have to be removed after the specified time period. Use is
subject to the use level designation conditions.
PULD - Pilot Level Use Designation
Pilot Use Level Designation (PULD) allows limited use of the technology to allow field testing to be conducted. PULD technologies may be installed provided that the
vendor and/or developer agree to conduct field testing based on the TAPE at all installations.
Please note: Government entities covered by a municipal stormwater NPDES permit must notify Ecology when a PULD technology is proposed (form is available at
PULD.pdf).
For influent concentration less than 100 mg/L the effluent goal is 20 mg/L total suspended solids.
For influent concentrations greater than 200 mg/L a higher treatment goal is intended. Technologies listed in this section with a GULD designation are also approved for
Pre-treatment in accordance with Volume V Section 6.2 of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western Washington (SWMMWW) and Section 5.2.1 of the
Stormwater Management Manual for Eastern Washington (SWMMEW).
