ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Seasonal First Flush Effect Study on Red Cedar River:
Water sample collections from Red Cedar River during summer rain events and
spring snow melting events.
Long time analytic measurement of
sodium/chloride/nitrate/phosphate/dissolved oxygen/E coli concentration and
raw database accumulation.
Qualitative and quantitative analysis of correlation between
precipitation/discharge rate and nutrients concentration, DOC-metal
interactions, microbe-metal interactions.
Hot moments and hot spots identified, establishment of transportation pathway
theory for targeted nutrients (e.g. NaCl) from land-use loading sources in Red
Cedar River
Data input for watershed modeling
EPA 2013 Campus RainWorks Challenge:
Many of MSU’s centrally located parking lots are impervious to rainfall infiltration.
Storm water collected here is directly discharged into the Red Cedar River without any
retention or treatment. As a result, this creates a potential safety hazard to students,
faculty, and nearby buildings. In order to help maintain safety, and promote a healthier
ecosystem, our plan is to transform multiple parking lots with open green
infrastructure.
