cost, maintenance<br />

considerations<br />

Cost<br />

• High – Cost <strong>for</strong> above ground basins must include excavation of basin, construction of berm, and installation<br />

of storm sewer conveyance system, including pipes and structures. Wet ponds and constructed wetlands may<br />

add additional cost <strong>for</strong> enhanced vegetation<br />

• The cost of each basin is highly dependent on the size of the basin and site characteristics.<br />

Maintenance<br />

Varies by type as follows:<br />

Type Maintenance<br />

Dry Pond<br />

High/<strong>Low</strong> - Year round maintenance <strong>for</strong> vegetation;<br />

one time per year sediment removal<br />

Wet Pond <strong>Low</strong>/Med<br />

Constructed Wetland <strong>Low</strong>/Med<br />
