Does installation of mechanical filter media into the storm drain help meet this requirement? (Flogard curb filter inlet)

Mechanical filtration can improve the water quality, but doesn't typically reduce the quantity of runoff during the storm event, which this credit requires. Projects typically achieve this credit with one or more strategies for detention (stormwater ponds, cisterns, large planted areas or green roof), infiltration into the ground (pervious paving, drywells, landscaping) or collection and storage of the water for on-site uses such as irrigation or toilet flushing. Hope that helps.
