Title:
Soil Remediation - Fertilizer Guideline Calculator
Agreement Number:
1020452
Agreement Value:
$50,000.00
Agreement Date:
Jun 15, 2024 - Mar 15, 2025
Description:
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.
