Why is Retention Pond Maintenance Critical?
Retention ponds play an important role in stormwater management, as they collect and store water runoff. Without proper maintenance, retention ponds can become clogged with sediment and debris, reducing their capacity to store stormwater. Retention pond maintenance is essential for stabilizing banks, as well as:
- Reducing flood risk
- Improving water quality
- Complying with regulations
- Extending the lifespan of the pond
- Improving aesthetics
- Creating healthy conditions for wildlife
- Reducing mosquitos and other pests which can transmit disease

A lack of retention pond maintenance can also contribute to the buildup of pollutants that over time can be released into the environment, harming aquatic life and water quality. Regular maintenance can help prevent all of these problems.
UMPS’ Advanced Technologies Deliver Results
UMPS’ retention pond maintenance services are designed to remove sediment and other debris, which can improve the performance and lifespan of your retention pond. Our team of knowledgeable operators can safely and efficiently remove sediment from retention ponds of any size, using a variety of equipment and machinery, both mechanical and hydraulic.
Our Geotube® containers are a long-lasting and cost-effective way to dewater and consolidate sludge from retention ponds. Using long, cylindrical tubes made of a geotextile fabric, Geotube® dewatering technology offers many advantages over traditional retention pond maintenance methods, including:
- Faster dewatering rates
- Higher solids content
- Reduced environmental impact
- Portability and flexibility
Often used in conjunction with Geotube® dewatering technology, our MaxFill® Geotube® Manifold Feed Systems can help increase the efficiency of retention pond maintenance by automatically adjusting the feed rate of dredged materials, helping to reduce overall project time and cost.
A geotextile fabric that can be used to create a temporary or permanent barrier on the bottom of a retention pond, the GeoBlanket™ can help prevent erosion and sediment buildup, and can also be used to contain dredged material. The GeoBlanket™ can be used in both cold and warm environments and is designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures. In cold conditions, the fabric can help prevent ice from forming on the bottom of a retention pond, improving the flow of water and reducing the risk of flooding. In contrast in warm conditions, the fabric can help prevent the water in the pond from evaporating, helping to conserve water and can aid in reducing the growth of algae and other aquatic plants, which can improve the pond’s water quality.
