Prince Pond had lost some of its stormwater storage capacity due to sediment accumulation. We self-performed the dredging of the pond, and during construction it was discovered that the pond’s bottom was soft peat material instead of the expected hard clay. This caused a change in the approach for removing the sediment. The excavation was completed by working off of wood mats placed in the bottom so the equipment was supported and didn’t sink into the soft peat material. In addition, we assisted with other park improvements, such as a new ADA-compliant sidewalk ramp with hand railing and resetting a section of flagstone path for better park access and guest experiences.
