This disclosure is directed to the regulated injection of a chemical(s), solution(s) or material(s) hereafter referred to as chemicals into stormwater runoff, other surface waters or other fluid streams to promote the removal of a pollutant(s) or to alter the properties of the water. Specifically, and depending upon the types of chemicals injected, the physical, chemical and/or biological properties of the water can be altered. The invention provides a passive system to alter stormwater runoff or other surfaces. The system may be deployed at a remote site, such as a construction site, and implemented with minimal or zero external power requirements.
