Although not related directly to the training flights, the monitoring activities did reveal some of the influence of man's activities in the aquatic environments studied. These influences included pesticides ... , water contamination by metals associated with construction activities at the jetport and water contamination with lead in areas of heavy vehicular traffic (outboard motors and automobiles)"--P.

Title: Chemical Effects of Highway Runoff on the Surficial Aquifer, Broward County, Florida.
Name/Creator: Howie, Barbara., Waller, Bradley G., Broward County (Fla.), Geological Survey (U.S.)
Abstract/Description: The purpose of this investigation was to determine the quality of highway runoff and to assess its effect on the distribution of selected chemical constituents contained in the water of the unsaturated and saturated zones of the surficial aquifer. These data provide insight into the relative magnitude of chemical attenuation which occurs in stormwater percolate (infiltrate) in unsaturated sand under a vegetated swale.

Show moreThe purpose of this investigation was to determine the quality of highway runoff and to assess its effect on the distribution of selected chemical constituents contained in the water of the unsaturated and saturated zones of the surficial aquifer. These data provide insight into the relative magnitude of chemical attenuation which occurs in stormwater percolate (infiltrate) in unsaturated sand under a vegetated swale. The scope of the study included chemical analyses of lithologic material at two test sites and one control site, and chemical analyses of stormwater runoff collected from the swale, water from the unsaturated zone, and water from the saturated zone underneath the swale at two test sites. The period of study was May through November 1983. The chemical constituents selected as tracers were lead, zinc, iron, cadmium, chromium, nickel, mercury, nitrogen, and phosphorus. These constituents are ocmmonly used as gross indicators of urban contamination. This report presents the results of data primarly analyzed using analysis of variance techniques. A complete listing of the results of chemical analyses also is presented.

Title: Effects of effluent spray irrigation on ground water at a test site near Tarpon Springs, Florida.
Name/Creator: Brown, David P. (David Phillip), Pinellas County (Fla.)
Abstract/Description: The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of spray irrigation of waste-treatment plant effluent on the quality of ground water at and near a test site in northwest Pinellas County, Florida. During 1971-1975, a network of wells was monitored for changes in water levels and water quality. This report includes monitoring and test drilling results and an evaluation of observed changes.

Abstract/Description: The objective of this study was to update estimates of total nitrogen (TN) loadings to Tampa Bay. A "best estimate" of the magnitude of annual TN loadings for 1992-94 was made using measured data for streamflow, surface water and groundwater quality, point source discharges, rainfall, and rain chemistry to the greatest extent feasible. Nonpoint source loads from areas of the watershed that did not have streamflow and water quality data available (ungaged areas) were modeled using the same...

Show moreThe purpose of this report is to present methodology that can be used to estimate nutrient loads discharged from the east coast canals into Biscayne Bay in southeastern Florida. Graphical summaries have been created to compare medians and evaluate the distribution of nutrient concentrations in the east coast canal system based on land-use categories in the Biscayne Bay watershed. Vertical depth profiles of dissolved-oxygen, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen concentrations have been constructed to document horizontal and vertical variability within the canal system. A statistical approach is used to compare differences between point (grab) and depth-integrated samples (from the east coast canal sites) for total nitrogen and total phosphorus concentrations. A modeling technique is used for developing equations through simple linear regression analyses in order to estimate nutrient loads based on discharge. The nitrogen and phosphorus species described in this report include total organic nitrogen, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, nitrite plus nitrate nitrogen, total phosphorus, and orthophosphate. Most of the data presented in this report were collected from the east coast canal sites during the 1996 and 1997 water years. Data from one site (S-26 along Miami Canal) were collected from 1966 to 1996.

Show moreThis issue of Pioneer Post includes the political cartoon "Henry David Thoreau is born from a baloonery". This political cartoon focuses on some of the significant issues going on during 1971 such as debates on pollution and overpopulation among the U.S. People believed that foreign immigration to the U.S. and the amount of reproduction was causing overpopulation and was viewed as polluting America. Protesters were in an attempt to put a halt on immigration and slow down the amount of reproduction by the use of condoms and birth control. This article sheds light on how overpopulation was viewed as pollution to the U.S. At the time period, people believed that this would result in less food, more homes to create, and overall non beneficial for the United States. This article also shows some of the ways that people influenced and motivated protests towards these issues going on. Summary and historical context written by Shaun Tyler Jones, in Dr. Michelle Carrigan's Fall 2018 AMH2020.

Title: Recommendations to clean up and protect the Biscayne Aquifer in Southeast Florida.
Name/Creator: United States, Meridian Communications, Rifkin and Associates, CH2M Hill, inc, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description: The Biscayne Aquifer is an underground pool of water that provides virtually all the water used by people and businesses in the area. By nature, it's clean, fresh water. Thousands of public and private wells are drilled into the aquifer and those wells supply water to about three million people in Dade, Broward, southern Palm Beach and eastern Monroe Counties. But even though it's underground, the water is close to the surface and can easily get polluted.

Title: South Florida ecological study. Appendix IV. Distribution of pesticides in a south Florida watershed.
Name/Creator: Harriss, Robert C., United States, PALMM (Project)
Abstract/Description: This report gives the results of a survey of pesticides in soils, canal sediments and estuarine sediments in the Everglades watershed. The extremely low solubility of the persistent organochlorine pesticides and their tendency to adsorb on particulate matter suggests that the most likely mode of transport of pesticides from agricultural areas to the estuaries will be in association with sediments.
