Prairie Hills Ponds
Project Information
This project addresses short and long term sediment accumulation in the two existing wet retention ponds located at 3147 Dorchester Way.
Project Overview
These ponds were designed and constructed in the late 1990's. Since construction these ponds have required several maintenance dredges to remove accumulated sediment, in part due to snow sanding operations.
The wet retention ponds are required as part of the City of Madison’s water quality (MS4 permit) with the EPA/WDNR, which is required under the Clean Water Act.
This project will include removing existing sediment, installing screen structures upstream to collect sediment prior to entering the wet retention pond.
This project will also include evaluating neighborhood requests for vegetation improvements.
Project Limits
The public stormwater outlot pond located at 3417 Dorchester Way.
Project Schedule
