Important maintenance procedures: - Immediately after the wet detention basin is established,the plants on the vegetated shelf and perimeter of the basin should be watered twice weekly if needed,until the plants become established(commonly six weeks). - No portion of the wet detention pond should be fertilized after the first initial fertilization that is required to establish the plants on the vegetated shelf. - Stable groundcover should be maintained in the drainage area to reduce the sediment load to the wet detention basin. - If the basin must be drained for an emergency or to perform maintenance, the flushing of sediment through the emergency drain should be minimized to the maximum extent practical. - Once a year,a dam safety expert should inspect the embankment. After the wet detention pond is established,it should be inspected once a month and within 24 hours after every storm event greater than 1.0 inches(or 1.5 inches if in a Coastal County).
