Purpose
The Green Lake County Land Conservation Department is sponsoring a project to test the effectiveness of CAPTure boxes to reduce soluble phosphorus levels discharging from a retrofitted sediment retention basin(s).
Final deliverables include: A final report which analyzes all collected data along with any conclusions about the effectiveness of CAPTure boxes as related to the objectives stated in the grant application.
Project activities include: 1) Retrofit CAPTure boxes into existing sediment retention basin(s); 2)Water quality sampling collected from 10 wet weather events. A total of 24 consolidated samples will be taken and tested for SRP, TP & TSS; 3) Water quality sampling collected from 6 dry weather events. A total of 4 samples will be taken over a 24-hour time frame; 4) Media checks for media breakthrough with testing for SRP; 5) Continuous flow monitoring will be taken to enable estimates of nutrient loading.
Special Conditions: Digital pictures will be taken of the CAPTure boxes in operation under both low and high water flow conditions. These pictures will be included in the final report. This is a phased project that is funded through five grant awards. Each grant award supports specific and distinct budget elements identified in the approved grant application. The grantee shall track expenses to each individual award based on the approved application budget.
This scope summarizes the project detail provided in the application and does not negate tasks/deliverables described therein. Data, records, and reports, including GIS-based maps, and digital images, must be submitted to the Department in a format specified by the regional Lake Biologist. It is recommended that Grantee provide DNR Lake Coordinator with a draft for comment on report adequacy prior to making final payment to the consultant. DNR to receive both paper and electronic .pdf copies of the final report along with, or prior to submission of grantee's final payment request.Related Reports
