*[[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.

*[[Stormwater planters]]
*[[Stormwater planters]] filter runoff through a planting bed of filter media and can be installed in tight urban spaces
*[[Pretreatment]] options, such as [[Vegetated filter strips|vegetated filter strips]], function by slowing runoff velocities and filtering out pollutants
