| Selected Research Projects |
Lake Louise Remediation - An ongoing aquatic resource restoration program funded by the Maryland State Highway Administration. It was implemented in 1999 to re-establish a viable biotic community in the Lake Louise watershed near Keyser's Ridge, Maryland, which was acidified as a result of major highway construction. |
North Branch Potomac River Acid Mine Drainage Remediation - AL researchers are working with the Maryland Bureau of Mines to determine the effectiveness of limestone dosers, and other acid mine drainage treatments, in improving water quality throughout the North Branch of the Potomac River.
|
Maryland Biological Stream Survery - AL personnel have been working with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources since 1994 to provide analytical and sampling support for the Maryland Biological Stream Survey (MBSS). The MBSS uses random sampling to determine the status of wadeable streams and rivers in Maryland. The primary objective of the MBSS is to assess with known confidence the current status of biological resources in non-tidal streams and rivers in Maryland. |
