Sustainability of stormwater ponds : addressing the sediment issues / J. Marsalek and G.A. Larkin, National Water Research Institute. : En13-5/98-17E-PDF
"Concerns about urban nonpoint source pollution led to the development of stormwater best management practices (BMPs) which serve to protect receiving waters against physical, chemical and biological impacts of stormwater discharges. Among the BMPs used in the Great Lakes Region, stormwater management ponds are particularly common and hundreds of such facilities have been built. While the environmental benefits of well-designed stormwater ponds are widely recognized, these benefits are sustainable only if ponds are kept fully operational by proper maintenance. As discussed in the paper that follows, many issues of the sustainability of pond performance concern pond sediments and their accumulation, physical, chemical and toxicological properties, and eventual removal and disposal"--Management perspective.
