• Abstract:
  Anthropogenic activities within the Silver Springs springshed over recent decades may have contributed ; to elevated nutrient concentrations in stormwater runoff and groundwater, leading to the eutrophication ; of Silver Springs. To remove the nutrients from stormwater, Bio-sorption Activated Media (BAM) can ; be used. This is a report on Phase I research that includes examination of Highway runoff locations to ; determine which ones are appropriate for BAM-based filters before runoff waters enter karst regions. ; These highway locations typically are constructed in areas that have soils that do not remove dissolved ; nutrients. Fifteen stormwater basins within the Silver Springs springshed in Florida were screened ; based on cost and practical application criteria, with the end goal of selecting two test and two ; alternative stormwater basins for testing BAM-based Best Management Practices at the field scale in ; Phase II of this research.
