Routine <br />maintenance shall be performed as needed. Additional maintenance needs, such as pond <br />dredging, will be scheduled and performed as needed. <br />2.04 When problems are identified during inspections, a Work Order will be prepared in accordance <br />with the following guidelines; <br />a. Trees and other vegetation on side slopes will be maintained to provide safe sight distances <br />for traffic and pedestrians <br />b. Sediment, vegetation, debris and trash will be cleared away from flared ends and trash guards <br />when flows are obstructed. <br />c. Bank erosion will be corrected when sediment within the pond bottom is greater than one <br />foot deep. <br />d. Sediment will be removed from pond bottoms once the storage capacity has been reduced <br />by 33-percent or more. <br />2.05 Private stormwater ponds are managed by private property owners, unless a stormwater <br />maintenance agreement exists between the property owner and the City designating the City as <br />the responsible party for maintaining all or a portion of the private Stormwater Ponds, in which <br />case the City will be responsible for maintaining any items identified within the agreement as a <br />City responsibility. <br />2.06 Two County Ditches are maintained by the City of Ramsey, those being Ditch 43 and Ditch 66. <br />2.07 It is normal to observe standing water in ditches for several days or more following heavy rain <br />events and/or multiple rain events within a short period of time.
