Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Through its conveyance of contaminants from the urban landscape, stormwater runoff poses a significant threat to water quality and public health. Though the effects of stormwater pollution are wide-ranging, of particular concern are the risks posed by the discharge of biological contaminants (such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses) to recreational waters. In response to these risks, engineers and urban planners have looked to enhance the performance of integrated management practices (such as biofilters) to safeguard aquatic systems. Biochar, a substance consisting of pyrolized biomass, offers particular promise as a biofilter amendment due to its high specific surface area and porosity coupled with low cost. However, relatively little is known about the long- term performance of biochar-amended filters under field conditions. Through this study, we aim to evaluate the removal of fecal indicators in biochar-amended filters following long-term conditioning with natural stormwater.
