Dredge Ponds in Lower South Carolina

Question: Is it necessary to dredge ponds and lakes in Lower South Carolina?

Answer: "Yes. As a rule of thumb, I would say every 15 to 20 years. But here in the Lowcountry we have some municipalities that have mandated if storm water capacity is diminished by 25% or more, the pond must be dredged, which can easily happen inside that 15 to 20-year mark."
