Biographical

William Hunt

Dr. Hunt is an Associate Professor and Extension Specialist in North Carolina State University's Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering department. Hunt holds degrees in Civil Engineering (NCSU, B.S., 1994), Economics (NCSU, B.S., 1995), Biological & Agricultural Engineering (NCSU, M.S., 1997) and Agricultural & Biological Engineering, (Penn State, Ph.D., 2003). Dr. Hunt is a registered PE in North Carolina.

Since 2000, Hunt has assisted with the design, installation, and/or monitoring of over 90 stormwater best management practices (BMPs), including bioretention, stormwater wetlands, innovative wet ponds, green roofs, permeable pavement, water harvesting/cistern systems and level spreaders. He teaches 20-25 short courses and workshops each year on stormwater BMP design and function throughout NC and the US.

Hunt is an active member of the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE), serving as NC Section President and as Past-Chair of the National ASABE Extension Committee. He is also a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), where he serves on the Urban Water Resources Research Council, the LID committee, and is co-chair of the Bioretention Task Committee. He was chair of the 2nd National LID Conference held in Wilmington, NC, in March 2007. Locally, he is a member of the Neuse Education Team, NC Watershed Education Network and the NC Association of Extension Specialists.

He is an avid Wolfpack sports fan and enjoys traveling, spending time with friends and family, stormwater management, and wearing a diverse variety of sweater vests. He is the proud father of 2 boys (Bill and Joseph) and is lucky to be married to Julia Claire Hunt.

2. The long-term hydrologic and water quality performance of a level spreader grassed filter strip in Charlotte was evaluated (funded by the City of Charlotte).  (2005-2007)
3. Level Spreader pair in Louisburg, NC. (water quality and quantity with two buffer widths (25' grass and 50' grass + wood). Funded by NC DENR - 319(h) (2007- present)
4. Level Spreader pair in Apex, NC. (water quality and quantity with two buffer widths (25' grass and 50' grass + wood). Funded by NC DENR - 319(h) (2007 - present)

Rainwater Harvesting
As water supply issues come to the fore, NC Cooperative Extension and NCSU BAE are examining the feasibility of using cisterns for rainwater harvesting and water supply. For more detailed information on this research, please visit the following website:
http://www.bae.ncsu.edu/topic/waterharvesting. Included on this website is a cistern design model for public use.

The following are NCSU BAE field research sites and what each's intended use is:
1. New Bern, NC: 3000 gallon tank used for irrigation at the Craven County Ag Services Bldg
2. Kinston, NC: 5000 gallon tank used for vehicle washing at the City of Kinston Municipal Services Center
3. Raleigh, NC: 1500 gallon tank used for Toilet Flushing at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences
4. Holden Beach, NC: Converted 1500 gallon septic tank for Irrigation
5. Greenville, NC: 2000 gallon tank used for lawn and arboretum irrigation and the Pitt County Ag Services Bldg.
6. Fayetteville, NC. 15,000 gallon underground tank used to irrigate horticultural plants at Fayetteville Technical Community College.
7. Boone, NC. 3,000 gallon tank used to supply street sweeping and winter brine water for the Town of Boone.

Sites 1-5 was instrumented in 2005 and data were collected through 2006.   The projects were funded by a University Extension Grant (NCSU) and NC DENR 319. Sites 6 and 7 are part of a comprehensive Water Harvesting Evaluation Project with other study locations in Craven and Guilford Counties funded by NC DENR 319. This project will entail the installation of ~5 cisterns and determining efficient water utilization.

Mosquitoes and Stormwater BMPs
A grant funded by the Urban Stormwater Consortium of the N.C. WRRI. NCSU staff are sampling 52 ponds and wetlands across NC for presence and relative quantity of mosquitoes. The project was completed in January, 2005. Dr. Charles Apperson of NCSU Entomology Department was the co-PI. In short, most facilities did not have a mosquito problem. The limited number of facilities that did (12 of 52) had one of the following characteristics: wooded, covered by cattail monoculture, floating trash/debris/, and/ or algae.

Impacts of these and other research findings on wet pond and stormwater wetland design standards are found in the following Extension Bulletin by Hunt, Apperson, and Lord. A short summary of the project is available in a CALS Perspectives article.

Coastal Stormwater Treatment

Three projects have addressed issues specific to coastal areas:
1. Carolina Beach Marina Stormwater Treatment. Funded by NOAA. (2005-2006)
2. Kure Beach Dune Infiltration System (DIS). Funded by NC DOT and NC WRRI (2006-present)

Stormwater BMP Inspection and Maintenance Standards
A grant funded by the Urban Stormwater Consortium of the N.C. WRRI is comprised of the following 4 objectives:
1. Develop a requirement list for inspection and maintenance for 7 stormwater BMPs including wet ponds, stormwater wetlands, bioretention areas, sand filters, green roofs, underground detention, grass swales, dry detention, and permeable pavement.
2. Determine minimum and standard inspection and maintenance frequencies for the above BMPs
3. Provide rationale fro choosing maintenance standards and frequencies.
4. Estimate costs associated with minimum and standard inspection and maintenance and estimate costs of NOT performing said tasks at a given frequency.
The final report has been submitted for review to the WRRI. It is expected to be made available in 2008.

A Stormwater BMP Inspection and Maintenance Certification Program has been developed as part of this research. A direct link to the program website is found here.

Determining Urban Pollutant Loads
Work has been conducted to determine the amount of pollution generated from urban land uses.
1. A series of parking lots were examined in NC to estimate nutrient loads from parking lots and to contrast these to those reported for other transportation surfaces (2006-2007). Funded by NC DENR.
2. A 500-acre watershed (House Creek) is being monitored at 6 locations to estimate pollutant loadings from the following land uses: golf course, highway interchange, institutional (museum + park), and an agricultural setting. Funded by NC EEP and NC DOT (2006-present)
3. First flush characterization of two watersheds on the NCSU Campus. (2005-present)
