Title

Toxicity Of Bottom Sediments In Detention Ponds

Abstract

Wet detention ponds are designed to control peak flow discharge and to improve stormwater quality. Suspended solids and associated organic pollutants, nutrients and heavy metals settle down, but soluble pollutants are removed by physical, chemical and biological processes within the pond. These metals and others will eventually deposit to the bottom sediments and concentrated in the upper 10-20 cm. This paper presents sedimentation rates and leaching characteristics of bottom sediments from six detention ponds.
