Penetrating radar (GPR), iii)collecting locational data obtained from global positing systems (where necessary), interpreting and analyzing subsurface stratigraphic data using ground This phase will include: i) interpreting and analyzing aerial photographs, ii) collecting The first phase of the project is to better understand the location and thickness of the wasteĭeposits. Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, 1980, Ayres Associates, 1997, 1998, 1999).Īdditionally, the deepening of the lake would probably improve the water quality and fishery. Significant weed problem and algae blooms (Half Moon Lake Restoration Committee 1973 Showing that removing the sediment (dredging) would reduce nutrient recycling which create a Partners are actively seeking ways to clean up these lake environments since past studies The nutrient rich organic waste (Ayres Associates, 1997, 1998, 1999). Result of past dumping of waste, the lakes are in an eutrophic state-excess plant growth-due to Practice has added up to 10 meters of industrial waste in the lakes (Jol and Albrecht, 2004).

Program will look at two Western Wisconsin lakes as test cases: Half Moon Lake in EauĬlaire County and Rib Lake in Taylor County. Used lakes as both a holding pond for their logs and a place to deposit waste. The industrial waste is a by-product of the sawmill era, which Sites, located in many Wisconsin lakes, are being considered for dredging and the waste (by recycling/composting) subaqueous industrial waste. This undergraduate research project proposes to investigate various ways of redirecting Anne, you are doing a great job.Subaqueous Industrial Waste in Western Wisconsin Lakes: Reducing/Redirecting the Dredged Materials from Landfills We took our drinks outside and were pleasantly surprised to see the chef had set up a BBQ for any customers that wanted to partake - I was sorely tempted as it smelt so good! We sat in the lovely sunny garden where we met the landlady Anne who came to check that everything was good for us and we chatted about the improvements that she is making to the pub after it had been shut for 2 years.
