*[[Bioretention]] technologies have been shown to effectively trap sediment from parking lots, public roads and residential areas <ref>Comparative Performance Assessment of Bioretention in Ontario. https://sustainabletechnologies.ca/app/uploads/2019/10/STEP_Bioretention-Synthesis_Tech-Brief-New-Template-2019-Oct-10.-2019.pdf</ref>
 
*[[Permeable pavements]] can filter runoff through the surface pores or media between pavers, as well as through the bedding and base layers. Most of the [[sediment]] directed onto the pavements is trapped near the surface where it can be more easily accessed for cleaning.

*[[Filtration Manufactured Treatment Devices]] such as [https://sustainabletechnologies.ca/app/uploads/2020/06/High-rate-treatment-bioretention-filter-tech-brief.pdf the Filterra® high flow curb inlet filtration MTD] have achieved 80% TSS removal for events with influent TSS concentrations above 100 mg/L.
