What questions does TWI want to answer with a nutrient farming pilot project?
The pilot project planned by TWI will focus on what conditions in the wetland would best promote the removal of nitrogen and phosphorus and how these conditions would affect biodiversity. Although smaller wetland projects have studied these issues, reliable results cannot be obtained without a large-scale project (1,500-3,000 acres). Such a project will also help answer questions relating to how landowners are compensated for nutrient farming and provide direction as to what kinds of regulations and credit trading markets are needed to support a nutrient farming strategy. Preliminary studies suggest that the Metropolitan Reclamation District of Greater Chicago could save more than $1.5 billion in construction and operating costs (over a 20-year period) by using nutrient farming to reduce its nutrient load from its wastewater treatment plants. A pilot project will help verify these numbers.
