254

"Hope" is the thing with feathers—
That perches in the soul—
And sings the tune without the words—
And never stops—at all—

And sweetest—in the Gale—is heard—
And sore must be the storm—
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm—

 

   -   Emily Dickinson, an excerpt from 254

  

Editors Note

Here's some additional motivation if you live in Pennsylvania or Maryland. Pennsylvania has a goal of planting 1,000,000 trees by 2012.  You can register trees that you've planted on the TreeVitalize website.
Maryland state agencies have a goal of planting 1,000,000 trees by 2011.  They are hoping that private citizens will rise to the goal of 50,000 trees planted by 2010.  By visiting the Marylanders Plant Trees website, you can register trees that you've planted and even get some discounts for buying new trees.

Alum Treatment at Teedyuskung Lake a Success

by Rebecca Buerkett, Project Scientist

F. X. Browne, Inc. conducted a phosphorus inactivation project at Teedyuskung Lake in Pike County, PA in November 2007. The 2008 post-treatment monitoring results indicate that the alum treatment significantly reduced the phosphorous and algae in Teedyuskung Lake. 

 

Teedyuskung Lake has been eutrophic for the past 17+ years, as evidenced by high nutrient concentrations, high chlorophyll a concentrations, high algal counts and densities, domination by bluegreen algae (cyanobacteria), hypolimnetic oxygen depletion, and decreased water transparency. Low dissolved oxygen conditions at the bottom of the lake were causing phosphorus to be released from the sediments, subsequently fueling algae growth. A batch alum treatment was performed on Teedyuskung Lake to seal the bottom, phosphorus-rich sediments and prevent phosphorus resuspension in the water column.

F. X. Browne, Inc. performed an in-depth study of Teedyuskung Lake which included water sampling, alum and sodium aluminate jar tests, sediment testing for phosphorus content, a bathymetric survey of the lake, and calculations of the doses of alum and sodium aluminate required. The jar tests were performed to measure the dose required to treat the water column of the lake. Additional jar tests were performed to determine the combination of alum and sodium aluminate required to maintain a pH of 6 or greater.

A dose of aluminum of 13 mg/l was added to the 80 acre lake by applying 33,000 gallons of alum and 16,000 gallons of sodium aluminate to the lake. This dose was in the mid-range of alum doses used on lakes throughout the country.

F. X. Browne, Inc. conducted pre- and post- alum treatment water quality monitoring at Teedyuskung Lake in 2007 and 2008 in order to document the success of the treatment. The monitoring results showed a dramatic improvement in surface water quality after treatment in 2007 and continuing through the 2008 growing season, as shown in Table 1. In particular, the total phosphorus and chlorophyll a concentrations and Secchi disk readings improved from the eutrophic range pre-treatment to the oligotrophic or borderline oligotrophic-mesotrophic range post-treatment. The 2008 bottom water quality total phosphorus average was much improved over the 2007 pre-treatment average hypolimnetic total phosphorus average.

The phytoplankton (algae) populations dropped dramatically post-treatment. Additional monitoring during future field seasons will determine whether or not these water quality improvements will be long-lasting, but that is expected to be the case.

Rivers Shrinking: Flow of Many Rivers in Decline
A study of 925 major rivers around the world from 1948-2004 showed an overall stream flow decline.  These effects are mainly due to climate change, though there are other factors such as the construction of dams and the use of water for agriculture and industry.
