2.8 Erosion and Sediment Control Measures – Sediment Retention Ponds

Summary

This guide covers sediment retention ponds. These ponds allow coarse to moderately fine particles to settle out of water before it is discharged. They are used in extreme situations to minimise the discharge of sediment laden stormwater into highly sensitive receiving environments. These controls are used when other methods of control are inadequate for the site.
