Geocache Description:

What is a retention pond? A retention pond serves to remove pollutants and reduce flooding, especially in parking lots. The ponds may serve as temporary or permanent runoff basins, and it is very common to find them in areas that are undergoing significant amounts of construction. This is due to the fact that large areas consisting of impermeable surfaces will not properly absorb water during rain fall.

As pollutants enter the pond during a heavy rain, the basin works to slow water movement. The stagnant water allows heavier contaminants, such as solids or metals, to sink to the bottom of the pond and eventually become bottom layer sediments. The retained water naturally filters contaminants and returns clean water to nearby streams or wetlands.

Now consider yourself "edjumicated"...yeah I know I spelled it wrong ;-)

Happy Hunting
