Storm water detention ponds are widely used and are among the most effective storm water treatment practices.

They remove pollutants by slowing the flow of rushing storm water and holding it long enough to allow sediment, nutrients and other pollutants to settle out.  They can also help communities meet the “control measures” required by new federal and state regulations.

In addition to removing pollutants, many ponds are designed to create an aesthetic site amenity, wildlife habitat and a development focal point or recreational area.

Inviting as they may look. However, storm water ponds can also pose hazards including strong currents during storm events, steep side slopes and drop-offs, unsafe winter ice and contaminated water and sediment.
