ADJOURNMENT Making Storm-Pond Dredging Decisions Flowcharts for managing urban storm ponds Minnesota Pollution Control Agency • 520 Lafayette Rd. N., St. Paul, MN 55155-4194 • www.pca.state.mn.us 651-296-6300 • 800-657-3864 • TTY 651-282-5332 or 800-657-3864 • Available in alternative formats wq-strm4-13 • June 2009 he following three diagrams should help you understand and make decisions about storm pond inspection and dredging process. These diagrams can be used along with the Dredge Materials Management guidance document to plan storm-pond maintenance- project work. The guidance manual covers important factors that apply to all types of dredging projects, however, it also has a specific section dedicated to storm ponds in Chapter 6. Diagram 1 is an overview of some key points in the planning process. Diagram 2 contains more detailed steps for inspection of ponds and sampling sediment. Diagram 3 contains decision steps to determine proper placement of sediment removed from storm ponds. T Start Stormwater Pond is periodically inspected Minnesota Stormwater Manual Appendix D has a Stormwater Pond/Wetland Operation & Maintenance Checklist (see rule of thumb) Inspect the embankment and emergency spillway Inspect inlet riser and principle spillway or outlet structure Inspect outfall locations Measure the amount of sedimentation buildup Is volume of sediment approaching 50% of the capacity of the pond ** inhibiting pond effectiness? No Take sample (s) of sediment to determine particle size distribution Yes Determine percent of sample that is retained on a #200 sieve Is 93% or more of sediment retained on a #200 sieve ?Yes Have samples analyzed for contaminate concentrations No Evaluate Lab results: Determine Management level Dredge Management level does not need to be determined. It is assumed to be management level 1 See Sediment Placement process flow chart Sediment Volume (Cubic yds) Recommended # of samples 0 to 100 1 100 to 500 2 500- to 3,000 3 3,000-30,000 4 30,000-100,000 5 100,000-500,000 6 500,000-1,000,000 7 1,000,000 8 + ** or less than 3 feet of water at the inlet half of pond wq-strm4-13 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 6/1 Start Determine if sediment needs to be removed from Pond Consider where dredge material may be placed. Review permitting criteria. Obtain CSW permit and Dredge reuse approval if required. Dredge the sediment using best management practices End Periodically inspect the pond. Rule of thumb is when sediment volume approaches 50% of the design volume of the pond or less than 3 ft of water depth the sediment needs to be removed Variables for determining where dredge material can be placed are: Particle size, current and future land use, Contaminant level, Volume of material Is a sediment reuse approval required and or is a Construction Storm water Permit required.? Whether or not permits are required, sediment and erosion control is required; proper reuse or disposal of sediment is also required Characterize Sediment to be dredged Take core samples from the pond. Obtain lab analysis of samples Determine Dredge Management level wq-strm4-13 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 6/1 Continued from: “Determine if Sediment needs to be removed and it’s Management Level” process flow Is Sediment at Management Level 3? Will sediment be treated to reduce management level to 1 or 2? Dredged Material is not suitable for use or reuse, and must be disposed of at an appropriate solid waste facility Yes No Sediment at Management level 2? Yes No Dredge reuse approval not required. No Does volume of sediment exceed 3000 cubic yards Yes Dredge Material Reuse Approval is required Yes Dredged Material is suitable for use or reuse on properties with an industrial use category No Dredged Material is suitable for use or reuse on properties with a residential or recreational land use Of course dredged material could also go to properties with industrial or recreational use . They could even go to a solid waste facility Will more than one acre be disturbed where the dredge material will be placed? CSW Permit will be required No CSW permit is required Yes No End Construction Stormwater permit application & Dredge supplement form wq-strm4-13 Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 6/1
