[[File:OGS example.jpg|thumb|450px|Plan view cut out of a typical Oil-Grit Separator (OGS) pretreatment device. In this example, the cylinder chamber and weirs create a "vortex swirling effect", which promotes settling of solids in the bottom of the chamber.  In most OGS, there is also an oil storage chamber to capture light liquids and floatables. The accumulated sediment and debris is cleaned out regularly by maintenance professionals once the sediment in the chamber reaches the manufacturer’s recommended sediment maintenance depth or the floatables capture chamber is full.]]

[[File:Sediment pad.JPG|thumb|650px|This non-proprietary pre-treatment device, known as a "Sediment Pad" that is used by the City of Toronto to capture coarse sediment, trash and debris in runoff before water drains into bioretention or other similar green stormwater infrastructure practices. Centralizing sediment and debris capture in a small area near the inlet to the [[bioretention]] feature helps simplify maintenance (City of Toronto, 2021<ref>City of Toronto. 2021.
