A new phosphorus filter site has been successfully installed in Putnam county! This site is the newest addition to the Kalcic field sites. The system is designed with a large tank built underground filled with Alcan media. Phosphorus filters help remove phosphorus along with other nutrients from water systems. With the data from the site, the team hopes to better understand how phosphorus filters can improve water quality in the Maumee River watershed and elsewhere.
A big thanks to everyone involved in getting this in the ground including: Elizabeth Callow, Ashlee Balcerzak, Dr. Kalcic, Teressa Pell, Nathan Stoltzfus, Michael Brooker, Jed Stinner (USDA), Chad Penn’s team (Purdue University)
