A stormwater filtration system includes a dry well structure including a top having an access opening, a bottom and a sidewall extending between the top and the bottom to define an internal volume of the dry well structure. A deck assembly partitions the dry well structure into an upper region and a lower region. The deck assembly includes a plurality of deck members sized to be delivered through the access opening of the dry well structure and configured to be assembled within the internal volume to form the deck assembly.

1. A method of providing a stormwater filtration system within an existing dry well structure including a top having an access opening, a bottom and a sidewall extending between the top and the bottom to define an internal volume of the dry well structure, the sidewall being perforated along a portion of its height, said internal volume having a horizontal cross-sectional area that is greater than the cross-sectional area of said access opening, the method comprising: assembling a deck assembly within the dry well structure, the deck assembly comprising a plurality of deck members sized to be delivered through the access opening of the dry well structure; andsupporting the deck assembly within the dry well structure thereby partitioning the internal volume into an upper region and a lower region, where the deck assembly is supported within the dry well structure at a location such that in the upper region the sidewall is not perforated and in the lower region at least part of the sidewall is perforated, andmounting a filter cartridge atop the deck assembly to a filter cartridge connector defining an opening through the deck assembly. 2. The method of claim 1 comprising supporting the deck assembly within the dry well structure with a deck support assembly comprising a plurality of deck support components mounted to the sidewall and sized to be delivered through the access opening of the dry well structure. 3. The method of claim 2 further comprising assembling the deck support assembly within the internal volume of the dry well structure. 4. The method of claim 1 further comprising mounting a bypass conduit to the deck assembly for directing stormwater from the upper portion to the lower portion. 5. The method of claim 1 further comprising sealing gaps in the deck assembly using a sealer. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the deck assembly is supported at a location of no more than about 15 feet from the access opening. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the deck assembly, once assembled, has a width that is greater than a width of the access opening. 8. A method of providing a stormwater filtration system within a dry well structure, comprising: providing a deck assembly including a plurality of deck members sized to be delivered through a top access opening of the dry well structure, where the top access opening is smaller than a diameter of the dry well structure as defined by a side wall of the dry well structure, the side wall of the dry well structure being perforated along a portion of its height;passing the plurality of deck members of the deck assembly through top access opening in unassembled manner;assembling the deck members of the deck assembly within the dry well structure to produce the deck assembly in a size that spans the diameter of the dry well structure;supporting the deck assembly within the dry well structure thereby partitioning an internal volume of the dry well structure into an upper region and a lower region, where the deck assembly is supported within the dry well structure at a location such that in the upper region the sidewall is not perforated and in the lower region at least part of the sidewall is perforated; andmounting a filter cartridge to a filter cartridge connector defining an opening through the deck assembly. 9. The method of claim 8 comprising supporting the deck assembly within the dry well structure with a deck support assembly comprising a plurality of deck support components mounted to the sidewall and sized to be delivered through the access opening of the dry well structure, the method including passing the plurality of deck support components through the top access opening. 10. The method of claim 9 further comprising assembling the deck support assembly within the internal volume of the dry well structure. 11. A method of providing a stormwater filtration system within a pre-existing dry well structure having a top with an access opening and a sidewall extending from said top downward to a bottom of an internal volume of said dry well structure, said internal volume having a horizontal cross-sectional area that is greater than the cross-sectional area of said access opening, said sidewall being perforated along a portion of its height, said method comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of deck assembly components and deck support components including at least two curved brackets members, each of which is sized to be delivered through said access opening;passing said plurality of deck assembly components and deck support components through said access opening and into said internal volume;assembling said deck assembly components within said internal volume to form a deck assembly, said deck assembly having a diameter that is substantially the same as an inner diameter of said dry well structure;affixing said deck assembly to said sidewall using said support components such that the internal volume of said dry well structure is partitioned into an upper region in which the sidewall is not perforated and a lower region in which at least part of the sidewall is perforated;with exception of component openings in said deck assembly, said deck assembly forming a substantially water-impervious barrier between said upper and lower regions;connecting at least one filter unit to an opening in said deck assembly;connecting an overflow conduit to an opening in said deck assembly; andallowing stormwater to enter said upper region, pass through said filter and flow into said lower region, thereby producing stormwater having fewer contaminants.
