Solids Management For Surface Water Bodies
Whether you have a small retention pond or a large lake, solids management is becoming an increasingly critical piece of your overall plan. The accumulation of solids from the surrounding landscape can not only reduce the depth of your water but can also have deleterious effects on the health of the water itself. These solids often contain nutrients and other soluble compounds which change the water chemistry and/or feed algae blooms while suffocating any aquatic life.
Theia will work with you and your team to mitigate or eliminate these issues with a multi-step program.
Solids removal. If the solids issue has gotten too far along, the best approach is often to remove a significant percentage of the solids through dredging. We do not provide these services directly but have a few channel partners which specialize in small and mid-sized ponds. Mostly, we work with those handling the dredging to manage the solids removed from the water body.
