Objectives:
Monitor vegetated filter strips to determine their effectiveness in
treating feedlot runoff and runoff seepage so that greater
information is obtained on this relatively low-cost feedlot pollution
abatement technique.
Description:
Two sites are currently being investigated. Runoff and groundwater
monitoring systems are set up at each site. Samples of groundwater
and runoff are being collected and analyzed -both upslope and
downslope of the filter strip.
Results:
Data is being collected.
Funding:
