Between Dec 19, 2024 and Jan 2, 2025, datasets can be submitted to DRUM but will not be processed until after the break. Staff will not be available to answer email during this period, and will not be able to provide DOIs until after Jan 2. If you are in need of a DOI during this period, consider Dryad or OpenICPSR. Submission responses to the UDC may also be delayed during this time.

    Dissolved Oxygen Demand at the Sediment-Water Interface in Monongalia Lake, Minnesota
    (St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, 2002-10) Wang, Hong; Hondzo, Miki; Ellis, Christopher R.
    The objective of this study is to determine the sediment oxygen demand in Monongalia Lake. The measurements will be utilized in designing a cost~effective aeration system at the New London Mill Ponds. The activities outlined below were conducted at the Saint Anthony Falls Laboratory, University of Minnesota: 1.) Determining the chemical composition of sediments at the sediment~water interface; 2.) Sampling 3~5 sediment cores in the field at representative locations within the New London Mill Pond/lower Monongalia Lake area; 3.) Determining the Sediment Oxygen Demand (SOD) of core samples using appropriate techniques under controlled laboratory conditions; 4.) Providing summary information to be used by another investigator for a cost-effective aeration design at the New London Mill Pond.

    Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant and Outfall Outfall Mixing ,Zone Analysis
    (St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, 2002-11) Thene, John R.; Wang, Hong
    Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) in St Paul, MhUlesota intends to relocate the Empire Wastewater Treatment Plant outfall from the Vermillion River to a location on the shipping chalUlel in the Mississippi River, near the upstream end of Spring Lake (Figure 1.1). A study is being conducted to provide information on the mixing of the effluent with the flow of the Mississippi River, and to provide support for the siting and orientation of the outfall pipe. The results are based on an analysis using the HCORMIX expert system" for evaluation of mixing.

    Investigation of a Low-Drag Partially Cavitating Hydrofoil: Water Tunnel Tests
    (St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, 2003-09) Hansberger, Jon; Wosnik, Martin; Wang, Hong; Arndt, Roger E.A.
    This project is based on a request made to the Saint Anthony Fall Laboratory by Dr. Eduard Amromin on behalf of Mechmath, Inc. The work was performed under a sub-contract as part of a Phase I SBIR contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Details of the design are supplied in the progress report from Mechmath and Amromin et al (2003). This hydrofoil is designed to take advantage of the drag reduction that would be possible with a stabilized cavity on the suction side of the profile. In the configuration currently under review the suction side is on the lower surface, hence the design is optimized for negative angles of attack. Figure 1.2 depicts the theoretical pressure distribution at angle of attack -3o.

    Phosphorus Dynamics in Jessie Lake: Mass Flux across the Sediment-Water Interface
    (St. Anthony Falls Laboratory, 2002-03) Wang, Hong; Hondzo, Miki; Stauffer, Brenda
    Phosphorus is generally considered to be a major growth limiting macro nutrient in aquatic ecosystems (Jorgensen, 1983; Ishikawa et al., 1989; Fox, 1993). Cultural eutrophication of freshwater ecosystems due to anthropogenic sources of phosphorus is well documented (Wetzel, 2001; Lampert and Sommer, 1997; Stumm and Morgan, 1996; Schindler 1974). Studies have shown that in some situations eutrophication can continue even after external anthropogenic sources of phospholUs have stopped (Hu et al., 2001; Lemmin and Imboden, 1987). This has led researchers to examine other causes of eutrophication, including the significance of internal loading of phosphorus released from the sediments (Petticrew and Arocena, 2001; Blais and Kalff, 1995). A history of nuisance algal blooms, fluctuating phosphorus concentrations and trophic level values has been documented in Jessie Lake (Reed and Watkins 1999). Because of this erratic history there is a concern that Jessie Lake is approaching a hypereutrophic state. During the last decade, phospholUs concentration has exhibited an increase of 135% over 6 years from 24 ug/L in 1992 to 57.3 ug/L in 1998 (Reed and Watkins, 1999), placing Jessie Lake in the 90th percentile of total phosphorus concentration in its eco-region (Heiskary and Wilson, 1988). The Carlson Trophic Status evaluated in terms of Secchi disc, phospholUs, and chlorophyll-a concentrations suggested that Jessie Lake ranged in the mesotrophic class in 1992 and in the eutrophic class in 1998 (Redd and Watkins, 1999). The increasing deterioration of water quality in the lake has impacted its ecological conditions, biological species, recreation potential and propeliy value. During the summer of 1998 a fish kill occurred due to the low oxygen levels within the lake. The Clean Water Palinership is a two-phase program that was developed to address water quality and pollution problems in Mhmesota (MPCA, 1995). This program allows local agencies and groups to receive state funding and specialized assistance from state experts. The phases are awarded separately with the first phase addressing resource investigation, a diagnostic study. and implementation plall, and the second phase implementing best management practices developed from the Phase I plan. A Phase I grant application for Jessie Lake was submitted in 1999 and grallted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Prior to the initiation of Phase I, the Itasca Soil alld Water Conservation District (ISWCD) had obtained water quality measurements in 1998 alld 1999, which became the foundation for Phase I sampling. Phase I was initiated in the year 2000 and is a cooperative project that includes: ISWCD, Chippewa National Forest (CNF), Mimlesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR), MPCA, the Jessie Lake Watershed Association (JLWA), University of Minnesota, St. Anthony Falls Laboratory (SAFL), Natural Resources Research Institute (NRRI) at Vel1nillion, and the NOlihern Experimental Station- Grand Rapids (USFS). 1
