Wet ponds are to be inspected monthly and after every storm that exceeds 0.5 inches of rainfall. Whenever
possible, ponds are to be inspected before a major storm. If side-slope vegetation consists of fast-growing
grasses, wet ponds are to be inspected weekly. Inspection consists of looking for invasive species, debris, signs
of damage or erosion, sediment accumulation and the need for managing or harvesting wetland plants.
Pond maintenance consists of removing invasive species, debris, and sediment; repairing erosion; and managing
the vegetation.
