Description
Stormwater detention ponds are prevalent across South Carolina and receive runoff waters carrying both nutrients and sediments. As sediments accumulate in these ponds, water volume is reduced leading to a decrease in runoff retention. Periodic dredging is required to maintain pond function, but dredging is costly and there is little data available to support how often pond dredging is required. It is further unknown how high nutrient loading effects sediment nutrient sequestration and autochthonous production of organic sediment components.
