�The primary problem in Threemile Pond is cultural eutrophication
�Remediation must consider all sources of phosphorus runoff
�Water quality will improve with:
�Reduction of external phosphorus loading
�Reduction of sediment release of phosphorus
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 runoffin 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
