Appendix S. University Reservoir Tributary Nutrient Loading Study<br />

Lead Agencies: Cooperative effort by the University <strong>of</strong> <strong>Alabama</strong>, Auburn University,<br />

Tennessee Valley Authority and Auburn University at Montgomery funded by ADEM.<br />

Purpose: Intensive chemical sampling was conducted October 1998-March 2000 to study<br />

nutrient loading from tributaries to 26 reservoirs in <strong>Alabama</strong>. These data were used to<br />

quantify tributary nutrient loads to reservoirs and to provide estimates <strong>of</strong> nonpoint source<br />

nutrient contributions. These loading estimates wil be esential to the <strong>Department</strong>’s<br />

effort to address lake eutrophication concerns across the state. Samples were collected<br />

monthly, June-November and biweekly, December-May. All samples and in-situ<br />

measures were collected in accordance with ADEM Standard Operating Procedures<br />

manual. Duplicate samples were collected at 10% <strong>of</strong> the stations.<br />
