Abstract/Contents: | "Water quality of Northland Country Club in Duluth, MN has been monitored over four years (2003- 2006) to measure and assess the small watershed-scale hydrologic and surface water quality impact from a golf course watershed. The study's findings include: Runoff plus tile flow from this course expressed as a percentage of rainfall was equivalent to 47%. The nitrogen fertilization regime used on this course appears to pose little risk for significant inorganic nitrogen transport in surface runoff. The measured phosphorus concentrations indicate the need for thorough soil sampling prior to additional phosphorus application. This includes characterization of soils saturated with precipitated phosphorus. Nitrogen and phosphorus loadings from this course were generally greater than or similar to losses from native prairies and forests but less than loadings reported for agriculture. 2,4-D and chlorothalonil concentrations and loads are consistent with those previously reported on plot-scale studies." |
