Topics
• Model Concepts & Evolution• STA Modeling• Marsh Modeling• Limitations & Directions• Data & Research Needs
Phosphorus Mass Balance Models• Aggregated Variables & Processes• Limited User Input Data • Calibrated & Tested vs. Regional Datasets• Testing Strategies
– Independent Datasets or Time Periods– Residuals Analysis
• Applicability Limited by Data Boundaries• Uncertainty Evaluated• Excel / Visual Basic Platforms• Details: wwwalker.net/dmsta & …/epgm
Model Applications• Engineering Design
– Design & Optimization of Stormwater Treatment Areas– Evaluation of Regional Water Mgt & P Control Plans– Consideration of BMP’s, STA’s & Reservoirs
• Adaptive Management– Forecasting Marsh Enrichment/Recovery– Benchmark for Interpreting Monitoring Data
• STA Performance• Downstream Marsh Transects
– Optimizing STA Operation (Flows, Depths, Veg.)– Integrating Research & Monitoring Data– Identifying Research Questions & Data Gaps

Model Explicit Factors
• Water & Mass Balance• Inflow Volumes & Loads• Rainfall, ET, Seepage• Depths / Hydraulics• Community Types• P Uptake by Vegetation/Floc• P Recycle from Veg/Floc• Net P Accretion in Soils
Implicit FactorsEmbedded in Calibrations
• Phosphorus Speciation• Calcium • Topographic Variations• Non-Ideal Flow • Particle / Floc Transport• STA Startup Transients• Community Transition• Plant Uptake from Soil• P Release from Soil• Vertical Transport of P within Soil
Data & Research Needs to Support Modeling
• Continue / Expand Marsh Transects• Dated Sediment Cores• Consistent Soil Sampling Methods vs. Yrs, Investigators, & Sites• Soil P Criteria for Ecological Impact (Depth Interval, Speciation, Conc.
Levels) to Track Restoration Progress• The 0-10 cm / 400-500 mg/kg Criteria Reflect Historical Conditions,
but are “Ambitious” Goals with Very Long Time Scales. • Floc Characterization & Transport • Soil P Reflux Studies• Impact of Calcium on P Cycling Parameters • Differences in Treatment Efficiency - Lake Okee vs. EAA Runoff• Several others….
