Gross Pollutant Trap

@Fanfouer: Your Proposal:Outlets_proposal included two types of gross pollutant traps (outlet=sock and outlet=screen) however there are other types including:

Sometimes these are installed at the outlet, but othertimes they are located along the drain or waterway. Ideally we'd have a generic tag like barrier=gross_pollutant_trap and then another tag to specify the device type (if known), since this allows mappers to map these even without knowing exactly how the device works.

Another example of a boom net being tagged with waterway=floating_barrier + seamark:obstruction:category=boom + seamark:type=obstruction > way 1310838722 Aharvey (talk) 02:02, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
Another source https://www.sydneywatertalk.com.au/waterway-health/widgets/426273/faqs refers to them as "Stormwater Quality Improvement Devices, or SQIDs" which provides the categories "Floating litter boom", "Gross pollutant trap", "Silt pit" and "Trash rack" Aharvey (talk) 02:25, 4 March 2025 (UTC)
Hello, outlet=* doesn't pretend to include all gross pollutant barriers. It describes how outlets are designed with different purposes and sometimes pollutant barriers.
It's fine to propose additional tagging dedicated to pollutant barriers in a formal proposal to allow anyone to discuss and review it.
This situation is similar to valves. Some are located at ducts outlets so we got outlet=valve, but we also got pipeline=valve to describe all valves even they're not located on an outlet. Fanfouer (talk) 14:09, 6 March 2025 (UTC)
