50 years of nutrient loading are pushing downstream receiving waters into an unhealthy state where algae blooms and fish kills are becoming more prevalent. Finding new ways to remove phosphorus is key to improving the overall health of lakes and protecting aquatic habitat. In Ontario, Canada, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) is responsible for managing the health of Lake Simcoe. Creating the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan, which has identified the negative effects of phosphorus and implemented a first-of-its-kind offsetting fee for its reduction, the LSRCA is encouraging developers to reach a Net Zero standard. New technologies leveraging physicochemical processes like flocculation provide hope for achieving meaningful water quality protection. Novel low-carbon ways to passively introduce flocculants to optimize existing SWMFs have been developed. The Town of Innisfil, Ontario, Canada, sought to assess the use of advanced sedimentation technologies (ASTs) to reduce sediment and nutrient loading rates flowing into Lake Simcoe, which will be explained in this session.
Session duration: 45 minutes
