Project Priorities The following are the research priorities in no particular order: 1. The effectiveness and feasibility of saturated buffers in reducing tile drainage nutrient loading to surface waters. 2. The effectiveness of woodchip bioreactors located in pattern and or non-pattern tiled fields for reducing nutrient loading to surface waters. This work can be conducted on new or previously tiled sites. 3. Using commercially available optical sensors and or remote sensing to guide nutrient applications to agricultural fields, and evaluate the resulting impacts on water quality. 4. Using engineered features to treat surface water runoff on the agricultural landscape. Contact Information: Applications must be submitted using the format prescribed in the proposal instructions. To request proposal instruction and to receive application materials, please call, e-mail, or write for the full RFP, which will be sent free of charge to interested parties. No additional specifications were given.
