Flow Data • Sample data taken from Nov 3 to Nov 19
Inflow vs. outflow • Outflow consistently greater than inflow (for both sunny and rainy days with steady cell height) • Instrument error or other unidentified input?
Recirculation Abnormal F1 Surge Normal F1 Problem of F1 reading
From F2 to F3 to M4 • M4 should be less than F2 and F3
Recirculation Abnormal F1 Surge Normal F1 F1 consistent with surge tank except during recycle. Backflow problem exists.

Wetland Performance • Continuing sample analysis • Samples taken from Surge Tank in Oct. & Nov. • Chlorine Test performed in October
Wetland Performance • Chlorine Test • Sample analyzed from AS-2 • DPD Titrimetric test: positive results • Oxidizing agents (Chlorine or other products) may be present in waste stream • Found in antibacterial soaps, cleaning supplies • Possible cause for stress to plants
Upcoming Work • DPD Colorimetric test • Can determine quantity of oxidizing agent present • To be done at more sampling points • Are septic tanks working properly? • Biodegradation occuring, or • Settling system, oxidants bypass • DPD test will give insight
