Measure summary

Peak flow control structures are designed to reduce flow velocities in networks of forest ditches. Peak flow control structures are engineered ponds designed to limit the rate at which water flows out of a ditch network. Because the structures slow water flow, they will contribute to sediment control and can reduce the size of flood peaks. Peak flow control structures will have a limited lifespan as sediment will eventually fill in the upstream detention pond. However, ponds can be maintained by removal of accumulated sediment.
