Additional investigator(s): Dr. Sarina Ergas
Project Start Date: 09/01/06

Project Objectives for This Reporting Period
Objectives
Conduct additional stormwater runoff tests on the field bioreactors.

Analyze stormwater influent and effluent for metals (copper, zinc, and lead), total coliforms, and E. coli concentrations.

Evaluate efficiency of laboratory-scale anaerobic pretreatment unit and explore how its effluent is treated by the laboratory-scale bioreactor.

This project has been completed and the Final Report is underway.
