Retention Pond definition

Retention Pond means permanent ponds where additional stormwater storage capacity is provided above the normal water level.
Retention Pond means an artificially formed structure designed to hold water year round with the capacity to accommodate a limited amount of storm water runoff. Retention ponds are reservoirs of natural water designed to enhance aesthetic elements of large scale residential, commercial and industrial developments. Retention ponds must be designed and constructed to the specifications of a licensed professional engineer and the engineering plans must be reviewed and approved by the respective authorized agencies. No Zoning Permit Required.

Retention Pond. A retention facility that is an open basin or “pond." Revetments – Materials such as rock or keystones used to sustain an embankment, such as in a retaining wall. Riprap – Broken rock, cobbles, or boulders placed on earth surfaces, such as on top of a berm for the emergency overflow, along steep slopes, or at the outlet of a pipe, for protection against the erosive action of water. Also used for entrances to construction sites, to prevent sediment tracking. Runoff – The portion of water originating as precipitation that becomes surface flow. See “stormwater” below. Sand Filter – A treatment facility that removes pollutants and sediments from stormwater by percolating stormwater through a layer of sand. Clean water exits the bottom of the facility through a pipe. Stormwater – The portion of precipitation that falls on property and that does not naturally percolate into the ground or evaporate, but flows via overland flow, interflow, pipes or other features into a defined surface water body or a constructed infiltration facility. Stormwater includes wash-down water and other wastewater that enters the drainage system. Swale – A shallow surface drainage conveyance with relatively gentle side slopes, generally with flow depths less than 1 foot. Essentially a broad, flat-bottomed ditch. See “biofilter.” Trash Rack or Bar Screen – A device (usually a screen or bars) that fits over a pipe opening to prevent large debris such as rocks or branches from entering and partially blocking the pipe.

Retention Pond. Refers to an open storage facility whereby storm water is “retained” within the structure in order to allow settling of sediments. As with detention ponds, retention ponds are sometimes equipped with other types of storm water treatment processes in an effort to reduce the total pollution loadings in the receiving water bodies.
