A filter for removing particulate matter from water flowing into an inlet, such as a catch basin is disclosed. The filter may comprise an envelope of filter material adapted to receive an inlet cover device, such as a catch basin grate. The inlet device may be inserted within the envelope and placed in an opening of the inlet. Water, for example, may then be double filtered before entering the inlet. A roll filter comprising porous material is also disclosed that may be used in combination or alone when filtering runoff entering a curb drain or other inlet.

1. An environmental filter for use with an above-ground water inlet comprising: an environmental filter, said environmental filter including an elongated porous material, wherein said elongated porous material is long enough to substantially cover the opening of said above-ground water inlet, such that water passes through said material while sediment and other solids are at least partially blocked from passing through said material; and a permeable body portion enclosed within said material, said body portion allowing water to pass through said filter while said body portion provides a degree of rigidity and form to said material so as to substantially prevent said environmental filter from entering into said above-ground water inlet. 2. The filter system of claim 1, further comprising a weight functioning to inhibit movement of said material. 3. The filter system of claim 1, wherein said body portion comprises turf reinforcement matting. 4. An environmental filter system for use with an above-ground water inlet comprising: an environmental filter, said environmental filter including an elongated porous material such that water is adapted to pass through said material while sediment and other solids are adapted to be at least partially blocked from passing through said material; a permeable body portion enclosed within said material, said body portion providing a degree of rigidity and form to said material; and an envelope of filter material adapted to contain an inlet grate, said envelope secured to said environmental filter.
