There is a pond on my property, but it is overgrown with vegetation. Is it eligible for a credit?

An overgrown pond is not eligible for a credit at this time. Eligible ponds must be maintained so that they function at the original design level. After the pond is retrofitted so that it could be expected to function at the design level, the mitigation credit will be restored.

The city may request that a professional engineer document the capacity of the pond prior to assigning a mitigation credit to the property.
