Retention Pond Services
Retention pond maintenance ensures that ponds can handle excess water without fear of erosion or pollution to surrounding areas, including nearby vegetation.
Frequent retention pond cleaning is also important to prevent pollution of stormwater collected in the basin and maintain its appearance, free of bacteria and algae.
Since stormwater maintenance is required by the Clean Water Act, stormwater basins or retention ponds serve as an effective solution to excess runoff that cannot be controlled properly.
What does it involve?
Routine Maintenance should include:
• Inspections: Periodic scheduled inspections with a specified checklist, and inspections after a major rain event.
• Vegetation management: Mowing on a regular basis; limited use of fertilizers and pesticides in and around the ponds.
• Trash and debris removal: Removal of any trash causing obstruction at the inlet, outlet, orifice, or trash rack - during periodic inspections and after every runoff-producing rain event.
• Mechanical equipment checks: Inspection of any valves, pumps, fence gates, and locks, during periodic inspections and appropriate replacement/repair.
• Structural component checks: Inspection of the outlet works, inlet, orifice, trash rack, and low-flow channel.
RedTop Land Services offers annual site inspections and routine maintenance programs.
