Why Some Ponds Fail\u2026<\/b><\/h3>\n

Poor maintenance is the leading causes of pond failure. A poorly maintained detention pond can lead to unpleasant odors, nuisance insects rodents, and becomes an unsafe area.<\/p>\n

Detention ponds can fail for several reasons such as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Poor vegetation maintenance such as out of control weed growth or too little mowing<\/li>\n
  • Clogged inlets or outlet resulting from trash and debris, and sediment accumulation<\/li>\n
  • The excess build up of silt<\/li>\n
  • Failed side slopes of the embankment (Erosion)<\/li>\n
  • Inadequate access to the pond which complicates routine maintenance activities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Emergency Spillway<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Conveyance feature of a detention pond to discharge excess stormwater flows to maintain the integrity of the pond structure during substantial runoff events.<\/p>\n

    Orifice<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 A controlled opening on the outlet structure through which stormwater is discharged from the pond.<\/p>\n

    O<\/strong>utlet \u2013\u00a0<\/b>A structure that controls the rate of release from the pond, the water depth in the pond, and storage volume of the pond.<\/p>\n

    OCS<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Outlet Control Structure<\/p>\n

    Regional Pond<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 A pond designed to capture stormwater runoff from a large regional area.<\/p>\n
