Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Stormwater biofilters are designed and employed to attenuate the flow and volume of urban runoff and reduce pollutant loading to aquatic systems. However, the capacity of such biofilters to remove microbial contaminants remains inconsistent and inadequate. Biochar, a carbonaceous geomedia consisting of pyrolized biomass, is attractive as a potential amendment to biofilters owing to its low cost, carbon sequestration benefits, and adsorbent properties. Furthermore, biochar has demonstrated the capacity to enhance microbial contaminant removal in stormwater biofilters within the laboratory setting. However, it is unclear if such results will translate to the field setting given the impacts of variable stormwater chemistry, weathering, and dry-wet cycles upon microbial contaminant removal. Through this study, we aim to bridge the gap between laboratory assessment of biochar-amended biofilters and their evaluation in the field using a simulated field setting.
