New published paper on structure design

This paper is open access at the Journal of soil and water conservation.  It summarizes much of the information in this blog regarding how to design a P removal structure tailored to a specific site.

We will continue to update this blog with results from the P removal structure.

First field day presentation of poultry farm structure and update

Field day announcement


There will be a field day presentation of the poultry farm runoff P filter on May 23rd, 2014 in Westville, OK.  The flyer and schedule of events is shown here.  Hope to see you there!  Please contact me for any additional information or questions.

Current performance of the structure

Since completion of the P removal structure last fall there has been very little precipitation here.  Thus far there has been only two events that have produced runoff at the site.  Both sets of samples showed nearly 100% P removal.  Due to problems with our connectivity to the automatic samplers, we cannot state what the flow rates were.  However, we will manually download the data to determine flow rates and duration.
