The primary problem in
Threemile Pond is cultural eutrophication which leads to the annual summer
algale blooms.
|
|
As you have heard tonight,
eutrophication is a natural process, but it has been expedited by human
practices.
|
|
we have proposed Remediation
techniques that consider all sources of phosphorus runoff in attempt to bring the summer
phosphorus levels in the lake below the critical value of 15 ppb in order to
prevent future algal blooms in the lake
|
|
By Reducing the external
phosphorus loading
|
|
Reducing the sediment
release of phosphorus in Threemile Pond overall water quality will improve
