KELLY-MAE COULSON is an academic who published a paper in 2009 entitled Effect of vegetation in a dissolved metal passive compost stormwater treatment system.. KELLY-MAE COULSON published this work as part of a team: Coulson, Kelly Mae. Here is a description of this work: A b,,tter understanding of the flow and sorption properties of vegetated compost roadsides is needed before such passive, low cost treatment beds can be recommended as a Best Management Practice (BMP) to treat metals in stormwater runoff during the non-vegetative growth and high rainfall period between Oct. And April in the Pacific NW. The effect of four different flow rates between 70 and 900 mL/min on retention time in 12° sloped compost and grassed compost beds (1. 02 m x 0. 254 m x 0. 10 m deep) were examined using bromide as a conservative tracer. Zinc sorption (at 3. 0 mg/L, pH=5. 6, 11°C) buffering potential and turbidity levels were examined in both beds at 264 mL/min. The mean particle size of the compost was 0. 0063 m. Roots that had amassed for 7 months prior to the experiments increased retention time only at the low flow rat.
