STORMWATER CONTROL SOLUTIONS

Stormwater Control Management is serious business!

STORMWATER MEASURES INCLUDE:

• A stormwater retention pond – also known as a “stormwater basin”: is constructed to replicate normal water runoff. When rain falls on a surface that doesn’t allow water to soak into the ground, it flows into your retention pond or “drainage pond” via a network of drainage pipes. Retention ponds can be “dry”, i.e. only collect stormwater when it rains, or “wet”, they have a consistent water supply.

• Bio Cells & Bio Swales: depressions or channels with vegetation to help control erosion as stormwater run offs to your stormwater pond. These are also called infiltration trenches, and area a good stormwater control solution to move water into your stormwater retention pond .

• Bioretention systems, i.e. Rain Gardens: Stormwater runoff enters the bio retention area is temporarily stored in the rainwater garden. The stormwater filters into the rain garden and is absorbed through the vegetation. Depending on the use and location, excess water can be collected in a drainage system under the garden.

• Filtration Systems Built in filtration systems that are placed at a low spot on your property that allow water to flow through sand, peat or other medium and filter out pollutants.

Stormwater Control Solutions are needed to control runaway stormwater runoff that can cause serious damage to your property, including flooding, erosion, and vegetation damage.

Pond Lake Management can help you construct and maintain a stormwater retention pond in Greensboro, Winston-Salem, High Point, the Triangle, and the Piedmont Triad of North Carolina.

WHAT IS A RETENTION POND?

A stormwater retention pond channels rain fall on a surface that doesn’t allow water to soak into the ground, it flows into your retention pond or “drainage pond” via a network of drainage pipes.

Unlike detention ponds, which temporarily hold water before releasing it downstream, retention ponds are designed to hold a permanent pool of water. This stormwater control solution allows pollutants in standing water to settle, and provides a habitat for aquatic plants, and wildlife.

The pond also features a system of inlets and outlets that manage the flow of water. The inlet allows stormwater to enter the pond, where all of the bad stuff – sediments and pollutants – settle to the bottom.

The drainage pipe, typically set higher than the base of the pond, allows water to slowly flow downstream, controlling the potential flooding, and erosion risk. Pond Lake Management recommends you use a trash bar guard on your drain outlets to prevent trash, and debris from clogging your drain pipes.

The purpose of a retention pond is to allow plants, and other organisms within the pond break down pollutants, improving the water quality before it is released. Dirt, and plant debris will settle to the bottom of the pond over time. Install an aeration or fountain system to help circulate the pond oxygenating the water, and improve the health of your pond.

STORMWATER RETENTION PONDS

Retention Ponds

A stormwater retention pond captures, and holds water runoff, allowing pollutants, and sediment to sink to the bottom improving the water quality.

SEDIMENT FOREBAYS

Separate sediment forebays are included at the pond's inlet to capture large sediments before they enter the main pond

BIO-RETENTION CELLS

Bioretention cells are landscaped depressions. They use plants that can tolerate large amounts of moisture, and periodic soakings

VEGETATION CONTROL

You can plant native vegetation to help absorb excess nutrients, and provide a buffer zone to protect the shoreline.

INLET, OUTLET INSTALLS & REPAIRS

Add new, or repair pond inlets, and drains for managed stormwater runoff, including Trash Bar Guards.

POND FILTERS

Install sand, and other filters to filter out pollutants, and unwanted organisms that will damage your pond's environment.

BIOSWALES

Bioswales are landscape features that collect polluted stormwater runoff, it soaks into the ground, and filters out pollution.

POND FOUNTAINS & AERATORS
