Retention and Detention Pond Maintenance
Most cities and counties in Georgia now require that new and recent developments (residential as well as commercial) establish stormwater management plans. As a result, developers, property managers and HOAs are now responsible for managing detention and retention ponds to ensure that they operate properly and perform the intended function. Aquascape Environmental is here to help.
Proper maintenance of retention and detention ponds includes keeping spillways clear of trash and (more critically) keeping dams and basins free of trees and other woody overgrowth. Conditions must be maintained so as to allow reasonable access for routine inspections by the local regulatory agency. Detention ponds must completely drain of water in a reasonable amount of time. Your costs can be minimized by maintaining the pond consistently rather than undertaking a big clean-up effort after a problem occurs. Aquascape Environmental offers a selection of services to help you meet with regulatory obligations associated with stormwater management.
