Monitoring Farm Runoff to Evaluate Conservation Practices
Beginning in 2012, Stone worked with state and federal partners on an edge-of-field runoff monitoring study. It was a response to the need to better evaluate and document the effectiveness of agricultural conservation practices in the Lake Champlain Basin.
This study generated critically important data on five conservation practices that were being promoted as methods to reduce nutrient and sediment pollution in the Basin. It yielded estimates useful for helping Vermont achieve its goals for phosphorus and pollution reduction.
