Research by Plant and Soil Science Associate Professor Stephanie Hurley<\/a> and PhD student Michael Ament were featured in a Lake Champlain Sea Grant article entitled, “Making Green Infrastructure Greener<\/a>.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Green stormwater infrastructure has emerged as an eco-friendly way to manage the large volumes of water that flow off parking lots, roads and roofs when it rains. Plants and soils absorb and store the runoff reducing impacts on downstream waters. However, the success of these systems depends on their design.<\/p>\n Hurley and Ament, along with Eric Roy<\/a> of UVM’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources, have examined alternative soil media designs for “bioretention” raingardens, the most popular form of Green Stormwater Infrastructure. Their findings indicate that Drinking Water Treatment Residuals (DWTR)<\/a>, a byproduct of water treatment facilities that usually goes to waste, can be incorporated in bioretention soils to bind phosphorus, and help reduce downstream harmful algae blooms caused by excessive phosphorus loading.<\/p>\n Ament defended his PhD in Hurley’s lab during the summer of 2021. The research was funded collaboratively by U.S. EPA and Lake Champlain Sea Grant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Research by Plant and Soil Science Associate Professor Stephanie Hurley and PhD student Michael Ament were featured in a Lake Champlain Sea Grant article entitled, “Making Green Infrastructure Greener.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7974,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12,28,14],"tags":[21,43,46],"class_list":["post-386","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cals","category-faculty","category-research","tag-pss","tag-sea-grant","tag-water-quality"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":3810,"url":"https:\/\/site.uvm.edu\/cals-news\/cals-new-hires-november-2023\/","url_meta":{"origin":386,"position":0},"title":"CALS New Hires-November 2023","author":"CALS Communications","date":"November 29, 2023","format":false,"excerpt":"Barituka Bekee, Post Doctoral Associate, Community Development and Applied Economics Barituka Bekee joins UVM from the University of Missouri where he co-directed the Deaton Scholars Program, and obtained his PhD in agricultural and applied economics, as well as a certificate in society and sustainability.
