Major Goals and Objectives

• Develop a comprehensive understanding of P and NH4-N partitioning between fluvial sediments and the overlying water column during and following a manure spill
• Determine the effectiveness of the current manure spill remediation plan to mitigate P desorption from manure exposed ditch sediments
• Investigate the influence of sediment particle size distribution on the depth of P contamination as a result of a manure spill under base flow conditions
• Determine adequate application rates of alum and CaCO3 needed to remediate fluvial sediments following a manure spill
• Evaluate the efficacy of the sediment alum treatments following a manure spill
