Abstract
Two wet ponds built to detain and treat highway runoff were investigated to determine dredging maintenance schedules in Washington state. Each pond was located in a different climate, one with few significant snow events, the other with many major snow events. Results showed that the pond in the heavy snow climate required a more frequent dredging schedule due to application and subsequent runoff of sand and gravel. It was recommended that ponds in northern climates receiving large snow events be dredged every 2–3 years, as compared to the frequently stated 5–10 years suggestion.
