Stormwater ponds dot the landscape of Horry and Georgetown Counties, playing a critical role in runoff storage, flood control, and in local water quality. As ponds age, there may be costly maintenance considerations; for new development, knowing the regulations and new information on pond performance is critical for stormwater treatment and pond longevity. To sustain pond function and aesthetics, decision-makers can benefit from knowing more about pond ecology, maintenance options, local success stories, changing regulations, fish stocking, and more.

The purpose of the 2012 Stormwater Pond Conference is to inform Homeowners Associations and Community Managers about the most sustainable and cost-effective ways of managing stormwater ponds. The conference will feature:

  • A selection of presentations from experienced professionals and researchers.
  • Exhibits from agencies, local professionals, and companies related to pond maintenance. These exhibitors will be available to discuss the best ways to solve pond maintenance challenges and how their services fulfill the needs of the community.
  • Continuing education credits will be available for South Carolina Community Associations Institute (CAI) members. For CAI membership information, please contact Kati Segar at kati@cai-sc.net.

Some of the presentation topics will include:

  • Stormwater Ponds 101
  • Shoreline Management & Erosion Control
  • Amending Community By-Laws
  • Rain Gardening/Harvesting
  • Educating Your Residents
