Three practices' impact on thermal pollution in trout sensitive waters of Western NC: wet ponds, bioretention, and stormwater wetlands. Which BMP works best at thermal mitigation and various design recommendations will be determined by the research.The following are NCSU BAE field research sites and what practices were examined at each: 1. Asheville, NC: 1 Stormwater Wetland and 1 Bioretention Cell 2. Brevard, NC: 2 Bioretention Cells 3. Lenoir, NC: 1 Wet Pond and 1 Bioretention Cell This grant is funded by NC DENR - Division of Water Quality and began in Summer 2005. The study will be completed in December 2008. As part of the grant, a bioretention model that evaluates design impacts on thermal loads will be produced.
JOURNAL ARTICLES A journal article on wet pond and wetland impacts was submitted to the Journal of Biological Engineering during Fall 2007. A second article on Bioretention temperature impacts is to be submitted to the Journal of Environmental Engineering in Spring 2008.
Level Spreaders Three research projects for level spreaders have been or are being conducted: 1. A grant funded by NC DENR was used to examine 24 level spreaders in Piedmont NC in winter of 2005/2006. The level spreaders did not produce diffuse flow. These results have been used to amend the State of North Carolina's Level Spreader Design Guidance (NC DENR link here). 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) JOURNAL ARTICLE Study #1 is described in: Hathaway, J.M. and W.F. Hunt. 2008. Field Evaluation of Level Spreaders in the Piedmont of North Carolina. ASCE Journal of Irrigation and Drainage Engineering (in press)
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.

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 early 2008.
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)
