From Reactive to Proactive Stormwater Pond Management: Practical Guidelines for HOA Leaders, Contractors, Developers, and Environmental Practitioners

Cody Gusto, Cody Gusto, Paul Monaghan, andBasil V. Iannone III

Residential stormwater ponds are engineered to manage runoff, reduce flooding, and protect downstream water quality, but their performance often depends on community decisions made after construction. This publication translates findings from a structured expert consensus study into practical guidance for homeowner association leaders, community association managers, contractors, developers, Extension professionals, and water quality advocates. It identifies common reasons stormwater pond management becomes reactive and outlines strategies for making proactive management more routine, including reducing nutrient inputs, using visible best management practices, improving budgets and contracts, strengthening contractor oversight, and communicating strategically during community transitions.
