Drainage Pond Maintenance

No Work Planned - No Problem Found - Close SR. Class: SR Created By: Log Type: NO_PROBLEMFOUND Summary: Algal bloom attributable to recent rain. No action taken. Details On Friday, the 25th of July, I inspected the site to follow-up on a citizen complaint regarding algae in the stormwater control measure (SCM). There is a lot of algae in the pond, but the citizen's request to install a pump or fountain in the pond is outside of our ability to enforce, since none was approved as part of the site plan. In addition, the amount of algae is expected to diminish as the amount currently observed is probably due to the recent heavy rainfall events providing an influx of nutrients and a following period of warmth and stillness.   file://///COACD.ORG/DFS/PIERIMAGES/SubDivision/97/C8-97-0123.1B(R4)_1/SCP-C8-97-0123.1B(R4)_1~109(1).TIF In addition, the SCM is healthy, with a good vegetative bench and a lot of Gambusia affinis. And though water is higher than expected at the outlet, this appears to be related to an undetermined drainage issue that may be related to recent rains and unrelated to algal buildup.  One small area of erosion was noted near a headwall; however, it does not currently pose a threat to the stability of the headwall. A notice of violation was not issued; however, the erosional area should be filled as part of routine maintenance in the future. JNB .
