This basin type differs from a retention basin, also known as a "wet pond," which includes a permanent pool of water. [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] While basic detention ponds are typically designed to empty within 6 to 12 hours after a storm, extended detention (ED) dry basins improve the basic detention design by lengthening the storage time, for example ...
A stormwater detention vault is an underground structure designed to manage excess stormwater runoff on a developed site, often in an urban setting. This type of best management practice may be selected when there is insufficient space on the site to infiltrate the runoff or build a surface facility such as a detention basin or retention basin .
It is distinguished from a detention basin, sometimes called a dry pond, which is designed to discharge to a downstream water body (although it may incidentally infiltrate some of its volume to groundwater); and from a retention basin, which is designed to include a permanent pool of water.
A sediment basin is a temporary pond built on a construction site to capture eroded or disturbed soil that is washed off during rain storms, and protect the water quality of a nearby stream, river, lake, or bay. The sediment-laden soil settles in the pond before the runoff is discharged.
Jul. 25—After some heated discussion about placing a storm water retention pond near the city pool parking lot in the Albert Lea City Council's work session Monday, the council voted 6-1 during ...
The system may consist of a single pond or several ponds in a series, each pond playing a different role in the removal of pollutants. After treatment, the effluent may be returned to surface water or reused as irrigation water (or reclaimed water ) if the effluent meets the required effluent standards (e.g. sufficiently low levels of pathogens ).
This is likely due to eminent domain laws, which allow the state government to take property for public use—in Sturgon's case, for a retention pond. Now, the family is coming to terms with leaving.
