|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Project Name: | Phytoremediation at Jones Island Confined Disposal Facility in Wisconsin - Project 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Scale: | Pilot/Field Demonstration | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Project Status: | Ongoing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Project Start Date: | May 2002 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Media Treated: |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Contaminants Treated: |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Phytotechnology Mechanism(s): | Phytoremediation Phytoextraction Rhizodegradation |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Plants and other Vegetation Used: | Eastern Gamagrass Eastern Cottonwood Sunflower Coffee Weed Ovalhead Sedge Big Bluestem Common Rush Red Mulberry White Mulberry |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Planting Description: | From seeds, hand planted. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Planting Area: | 0.06 acre | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Climate: | Mostly sunny during the day. Temperature range: -26 to 103 F; Elevation: 672 feet; Mean annual precipitation: 32.9 inches; Growing season: 5/20 to 9/26 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| O & M Requirements: | Fertilization, Harvesting | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Performance Data: | Not available | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Cost of the Phytotechnology Project: | Cost is mainly in building the cells and the cost of the plants. Other then that, the main expense was to travel to and from the site and analyzing soil samples. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Comments: | The project has just started so that the total cost can not be estimated as there are probably more expenses to come. We are not yet sure what fraction of the plants will have to be replanted but are quite sure that we will need to seed again. | Point(s) of Contact |
