An erosion control basin is a molded open topped receptacle that has support flanges that will support the basin on the interior of a storm drain grate frame. A filter is formed around an upright perforated drain pipe that is on the interior of the basin and which opens to an outlet. The basin catches debris and silt but permits water to drain out. The top of the drainpipe is left open for overflow purposes.

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for positioning within an inlet to a storm sewer having a frame supporting a grate, and a curb box, the apparatus comprising: a structure engaging the frame such that the structure is suspended beneath an area covered by the grate, the structure comprising a filtered outlet; and an inperforate deflecting wall attached to the structure and substantially across a length of the frame and extending upwardly into the curb box and behind the grate when positioned on the frame and wherein storm water enters the structure though the grate and the water flows though the filtered outlet to remove sediment and debris from the water entering the storm sewer and wherein the deflecting wall extends into the curb box to deflect water into the structure while allowing water to overflow the deflecting wall in the event that the filtered outlet plugs or a street floods due to excessive amounts of water flowing into the sewer. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 and wherein the structure extends beneath substantially all of the area of the storm sewer covered by the grate. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 and wherein the structure is sufficient to support a weight of the water within the structure and/or a weight of the debris retained in the structure as the water is filtered. 4. The apparatus of claim 3 and wherein the structure is constructed of metal or plastic. 5. The apparatus of claim 1 and wherein the structure comprises a basin. 6. The apparatus of claim 1 and wherein the structure comprises a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls extending from the bottom wall and wherein the bottom wall includes the opening for discharging the filtered water from the apparatus. 7. The apparatus of claim 1 and further comprising a filter supported by the structure wherein the filter allows water to flow therethrough prevents debris and sediment from entering the storm sewer. 8. The apparatus of claim 7 and wherein the filter comprises a stand pipe having perforations therein. 9. An apparatus for positioning within an inlet to a storm sewer having a frame supporting a grate, and a curb box, the apparatus comprising: a structure engaging the frame such that the structure is suspended beneath an area covered by the grate, the structure comprising a filtered outlet, wherein the structure comprises a bottom wall and a plurality of side walls extending from the bottom wall and wherein the bottom wall includes the opening for discharging the filtered water from the apparatus; and a deflecting wall attached to the structure and substantially across a length of the frame and extending upwardly into the curb box and behind the grate when positioned on the frame and wherein storm water enters the structure through the grate and the water flows through the filtered outlet to remove sediment and debris from the water entering the storm sewer and wherein the deflecting wall extends into the curb box to deflect water into the structure while allowing water to overflow the deflecting wall in the event that the filtered outlet plugs or a street floods due to excessive amounts of water flowing into the sewer. 10. The apparatus of claim 9 and wherein the structure extends beneath substantially all of the area of the storm sewer covered by the grate. 11. The apparatus of claim 9 and wherein the structure is sufficient to support a weight of the water entering the structure and/or a weight of the debris retained in the structure as the water is filtered. 12. The apparatus of claim 11 and wherein the structure is constructed of metal or plastic. 13. The apparatus of claim 9 and wherein the structure comprises a basin. 14. The apparatus of claim 9 and further comprising a filter supported by the structure wherein the filter allows water to flow therethrough prevents debris and sediment from entering the storm sewer. 15. The apparatus of claim 14 and wherein the filter comprises a stand pipe having perforations therein. 16. An apparatus for positioning within an inlet to a storm sewer having a frame supporting a grate, and a curb box, the apparatus comprising: a structure engaging the frame such that the structure is suspended beneath an area covered by the grate, the structure comprising a filtered outlet and a first overflow mechanism; and a deflecting wall attached to the structure and substantially across a length of the frame and extending upwardly into the curb box and behind the grate when positioned on the frame and wherein storm water enters the structure through the grate and the water flows though the filtered outlet to remove sediment and debris from the water entering the storm sewer and wherein the deflecting wall extends into the curb box to deflect water into the structure wherein the first overflow mechanism is positioned below the grate to allow unfiltered water to flow into the storm sewer. 17. The apparatus of claim 16 and wherein the deflecting wall extends into the curb box to deflect water into the structure while allowing water to overflow the deflecting wall to provide a second overflow mechanism to allow unfiltered water into the storm sewer in the event that the first overflow mechanism does not have the capacity to discharge the unfiltered water and water begins to flood the street. 18. The apparatus of claim 16 and wherein the structure extends beneath substantially all of the area of the storm sewer covered by the grate. 19. The apparatus of claim 16 and further comprising a filter supported by the structure wherein the filter allows water to flow therethrough prevents debris and sediment from entering the storm sewer.
