Sedimentation basins are stormwater detention systems that promote settling of sediments through the. reduction of flow velocities and temporary detention. Key elements include purpose designed inlet and outlet. structures, settling pond, and high flow, overflow structures. The storage volume consists of two.
However, extending the detention time of the basin. and/or including a forebay to the basin in the design when space allows will enhance. water quality and quantity benefits. Extended detention will require a larger basin. Forebays trap sediment to pretreat runoff prior to release to the main pond, and also. provide additional temporary storage of runoff. In areas where thermal impacts to receiving waters, such as trout streams, are a.
