===Planting Strategy===
Depending upon the proposed planting strategy, these maximum storage depths may be reduced to 1 to 1.5 metres. It is anticipated, however, that the dry pond will not be actively planted in the extended detention portion due to harsh growing conditions (frequent wetting/drying). The planting approach for a dry pond is typically less intensive than for a wet pond, involving fewer species and lower planting density. Vegetation is generally organized into three zones according to soil moisture conditions:
*Extended detention area
*Flood fringe area (for combined quality/quantity SWMPs)
*Upland area
Growing conditions in the extended detention area of a dry pond are more challenging than in a wet pond because there is no permanent pool to moderate moisture levels. As a result, this zone requires particular attention to ensure that desired plant species establish successfully.
