The measured weight of 80 pounds confirmed a 60 pound weight gain in absorbed hydrocarbons, filtered trash and debris. The total debris was estimated to be 5 to 8 pounds leaving 52-55 pounds of absorbed gasoline. Which translates to 8.5 to 9 gallons of captured gasoline. Inspection of the catch basin sump confirmed there was no gasoline, hydrocarbon sheen or hydrocarbon odor present. The filter was fully spent and exhausted and a new replacement filter was installed. In conclusion, the UUF performed as engineered and designed, it absorbed the gasoline spill stopping the spill from entering the stormwater drainage system.
