Common problems and how to troubleshoot them for wetlands
Link to this table
Symptom | Possible causes | Solution |
---|---|---|
Vegetation will not establish properly | Water levels need to be maintained per species specific growth patterns during establishment. A secondary water source and flow routing may be necessary to establish vegetation for a year. Soils may not have been properly decompacted during construction. Influent pollutant loads may be harming unestablished vegetation. Wildlife may harm unprotected vegetation. |
|
Stagnant water | Significant erosion that has impacted hydraulics. Clogs in the conveyance network. Grading issues. |
|
Mosquitos | Optimal breeding conditions |
|
Wetland capacity is reduced | Sediment build up or vegetative overgrowth |
|
Flow or water imbalance (more water coming in than going out), lower than expected water levels. | Unanticipated infiltration |
