"Pond"er These Thoughts


SOLitude Lake Management wants to be certain that your pond is prepared for 2013.
With this in mind, we recommend that you consider the following during the winter
months:

 
• Evaluate your pond and determine if you need to add aeration to meet your management goals and objectives for 2013

• If you have not been maintaining the vegetative buffer along the shoreline and the sloped areas adjacent to your pond, schedule thinning of the vegetation in these areas

• Failure of your stormwater pond is never an option. Schedule a structural inspection to ensure your pond is functioning properly
 
• Review your lake/pond budget and Replacement Reserve funds to ensure that funds are available for bathymetry to determine if and when you will have a need for dredging. If bathymetry or dredging is needed, schedule early!

• Consult with a Fisheries Biologist to determine a plan to properly stock your pond with fish this spring

• Most importantly, implement an annual maintenance program for your lake or pond
