Abstract/Contents:Presents an ongoing study initiated during 2005 with the primary objectives to "(1) assess the feasibility and effectiveness of commercially marketed filters designed to strip nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) and pesticides (chlorothalonil and metalaxyl) from drainage waters exiting managed turf areas," and "(2) identify and demonstrate the efficacy of using both synthetic and natural products in a field-scale application of the end-of-tile filter." Detail methods and materials used during the experiment, stating that "a total of four Isco 6712 portable samplers were positioned to collect simultaneous water samples at the inflow and outflow of the filter boxes, thus providing a before-and-after assessment." Mentions that flow measurements "ranged from 0.0034 L/s [liters per second] (0.05 gal/min [gallons per minute]) to 0.6433 L/s (10.16 gal/min)." Reports that "median chlorothalonil removal was 69% [percent], while the highest was 96%." Concludes that "preliminary hydrology findings suggest that use of the AirDrain Geocell decreases nutrient and pesticide leaching and the frequency of irrigation compared to a geogrid design."

USGA Summary Points:Field and laboratory instrumentation is in place to continue to assess different filter materials and designs. Filter blends must be retooled/optimized to achieve significant removal of all contaminants (only chlorolthalonil was significantly removed). This highlights the need for field-scale over laboratoryscale research. Preliminary hydrology findings suggest that use of the AirDrain Geocell decreases nutrient and pesticide leaching and the frequency of irrigation compared to a geogrid design.
