This department is offering a grant to evaluate cost-effective bioretention depths for improving water quality in urban stormwater runoff to protect fish and biological communities. The grant will fund research on the effectiveness of 60:40 bioretention soil media in preventing toxic effects on aquatic animals and determine the necessary soil depths for treatment. The project will assess chemical and biological effectiveness using analytical chemistry and examining the health of juvenile salmon and zebrafish embryos. Applications are accepted until Oct 26, 2018, 12:00:00 AM EDT.

| Description: | The project will evaluate cost-effective bioretention depths to provide biologically significant improvements in the water quality of untreated urban stormwater runoff which can adversely impact the health of fish and biological communities. Funds under this award are to be used to answer two important questions that the proposed research will address: 1) How long can the 60:40 bioretention soil media prevent toxic effects to aquatic animals; 2) What soil depths are necessary to provide treatment. Chemical and biological effectiveness will be evaluated using analytical chemistry and the health of two fish species, juvenile salmon and zebrafish embryos. |
