Description
This project aims to assist a small community with a population less than 10,000 to improve nutrient removal of ammonia, nitrogen, and phosphorus from wastewater treatment lagoons through piloting a low-cost and sustainable floating treatment wetland and monitoring system.activities:the project team will demonstrate a floating treatment wetland (FTW) system deployed in a lagoon in northern michigan. Nutrients will be monitored by physical tests, biological community (bacteria) population composition and growth will be monitored using next generation sequencing and hyperspectral in-situ and remote sensing, and the removal fate of nutrients and dissolved organics will be investigated using sunlight experiments. Biowin modeling will be completed along with life cycle cost and environmental assessments to evaluate technical, economic, and environmental system performance.subrecipient:subaward to keweenaw BAY ojibwa community college (kbocc) ($25,200) to help improve transferability of project outcomes to communities. Over the four years of this project, researchers aim to foster a 'trust network' whereby kbocc students frame their understanding of the project, protect the native ways, and teach the michigan tech team their perspectives on water quality.outcomes:deliverables include annual and final reports, as well as a pilot floating treatment wetland system packaged for transferability, including complete documentation and training recommendations for small, rural, and tribal communities, lagoon operators, and all other interested stakeholders. Direct beneficiaries include small, rural and tribal communities, lagoon operators, and state, local and tribal natural resource managers.
