Soil Remediation - Fertilizer Guideline Calculator
FY 2024-25 · 2024-06-15
Summary
Equilibrium Environmental Inc. (EEI) has developed methodology to understand the risks associated with soil and groundwater contamination by nitrates and to model transport and assess risk to potential receptors. Receptors include plants in the root-zone, or human drinking water, or aquatic life, or livestock water from a dugout. We are developing and refining the software framework (Fertilizer Guideline Calculator), which can be used to generate Tier 2 nitrate/nitrite/ammonia guidelines and minimize environmental risk. We also conduct the bench-scale experiment to evaluate the site-specific denitrification rates. These rates help develop the most accurate guidelines to guide the soil and groundwater remediation efforts.

Description (French)
Equilibrium Environmental Inc. (EEI) a développé une méthodologie pour comprendre les risques associés à la contamination des sols et des eaux souterraines par les nitrates et pour modéliser le transport et évaluer les risques pour les récepteurs potentiels. Les récepteurs comprennent les plantes dans la zone racinaire, l’eau potable pour l’homme, la vie aquatique ou l’eau du bétail provenant d’un étang artificiel. Nous développons et affinons le cadre logiciel (Fertilizer Guideline Calculator), qui peut être utilisé pour générer des lignes directrices de niveau 2 pour les nitrates/nitrites/ammoniac et minimiser les risques pour l’environnement. Nous menons également des expériences en laboratoire pour évaluer les taux de dénitrification spécifiques à chaque site. Ces taux permettent d’élaborer les lignes directrices les plus précises pour guider les efforts d’assainissement des sols et des eaux souterraines.
