Phosphorus Remediation Study/ Jeffords Hall/ Shelburne Farms-Shelburne, VT August 2012 to December 2012
Performed pilot remediation study for the purpose of ameliorating nutrient runoff from a large dairy barn operation bordering Shelburne Bay.
• Study concentrated on developing a process to mitigate high soluble-reactive phosphorus (SRP) and ecoli concentrations entering Lake Champlain, with the goal of lowering total maximum daily load (TMDL).
• Prepared samples for Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy tests.
• A prior student led initiative had installed a field-ready in ground filter mechanism, however our work focused around testing a proprietary mix of oyster-mushroom spawn, bio char, and compost.
• A standard solution of SRP was mixed and tested along with standard dilutions of collected manure effluent at most probably infield concentrations.
• Study ran a repeated-measure ANOVA statistical analysis to test null hypothesis (thought three filter mechanism would be most successful). Found P value < 0.5
• However P value was found to be greater 0.5 for all bio-char samples, and some of the three phase filters.
• This is interesting because the same about of bio-char was mixed in with the two phase and three phase filters.
Technical Report #1
Groundwater Monitoring / Environmental Safety Facility-Burlington, VT January 2011 to May 2011
Groundwater Monitoring /Environmental Safety Facility / Burlington, VT
• Environmental Analysis at 5 well-heads 5 times in 2 months at former Superfund sight being transitioned to a brown-field.

• Monitored levels of organic salt contamination (Nitrate, Sodium, Chloride, and halogen alkyl halide).
• Prepared samples for ion-chromatography and lachat tests.
• Created flow and isoconcentration-gradient maps.
• Overlaid one over the other to see pollution plume extent and movement. It was learned that groundwater flow follows lowest conductivity.
• Learned of hanging water-table. It was found well-head #4 was the only connection between upper and lower aquifer.
• Found two point-source contamination sights. One from fertigation of nearby hay-fields and a second from the nearby road-salt spreading on Spear St.
