Design, Installation and Monitoring of Subsurface Treatment System to Reduce Phosphorus Loading from Tile Drains

Stone and the Friends of Northern Lake Champlain (FNLC) implemented Vermont’s interim practice standard (Phosphorus Removal System, Code 782) for the first time. Stone designed and constructed a phosphorus removal system on a farm in Franklin, Vermont designed to capture phosphorus via sorptive media immediately before it discharged to surface waters as a pollutant, and return it to cropland in a soil amendment for beneficial reuse. This practice has been successfully employed to treat water in drainage ditches, as well as runoff from agricultural and residential land uses.
