Q. What is going on with the pond on Traverwood just south of the Oak Cliff apartments? It looks like they were “draining the pond,” but the city posted a stop-work order.
A. “In July, the property owner dredged a detention basin; however, the wrong pond was dredged resulting in the disruption of a wetland,” emails city spokesperson Robert Kellar. “Upon discovering this, city staff placed a stop work order on the site until a corrective plan was in place. The property owner worked with their wetland consultant, city staff, and the city’s wetland consultant to develop a plan to restore the impacted wetlands. City staff approved the plan, issued applicable permits, and [corrective] work is underway.”
