Detention
Basin Maintenance and RetrofitsThe Clinton Township Environmental Commission sponsored an informational seminar for property owners, businesses, and home owner associations in Clinton Township on March 31st from 7-9PM in the Clinton Township Court Room. The seminar was presented by the Rutgers Cooperative Extension Water Resources Program and provided attendees a technical overview of the functions, maintenance requirements, and planning assistance available for managing stormwater basins. The focus of the seminar was to educate owners and residents about the important function these basins provide. Guidance for regular inspections and monitoring of these systems as well as planning for and conducting routine maintenance as well as repairs was included. The program also presented techniques frequently used to improve water “quality” treatment in detention basins while maintaining the water “quantity” function of these systems. Alternatives to reduce annual maintenance costs were also discussed. If you missed this seminar, but would like additional information regarding detention basin maintenance and retrofits, please refer to this website address: Detention Basin Maintenance and Retrofits.
