1 OPTIMIZING SOIL-POLYACRYLAMIDE INTERACTIONS FOR EROSION CONTROL AT CONSTRUCTION SITES Jihoon Kang* Rich McLaughlin Department of Soil Science North Carolina State University 2 OUTLINE FOR TODAY Turbid water in our waterways Construction site: erosion and sediment controls Rainfall simulation study (excelsior blanket and polyacrylamide) Summary and Conclusions 1

4 SILT FENCE 7 8 CHECK DAMS.. 4

5 9 LAST STEP: POOL AND SETTLE IMPROVEMENT FROM SURFACE OUTLET/POROUS BAFFLES May increase sediment capture from 60% to 90+%. Turbidity will still be an issue. 10 5

6 11 WHAT TO DO ABOUT TURBIDITY? Photo Credit: Northwest Irrigation and Soils Research, USDA-ARS. 14 POPULAR IN THE NORTHWEST Well-established practice in irrigated agriculture 6

7 15 PAM AS A SOIL STABILIZER Reduce soil dispersion and improve wet aggregate stability. Improve infiltration and reduce erosion. Sojka and Lentz (1997), PAM Primer: A Brief history of PAM and PAM-related issue. 16 POPULAR IN THE NORTHWEST 7

9 19 BASIC PROCEDURES FOR THE PAM APPLICATION Apply polyacrylamide either as granule or aqueous concentrate (>30 kg/ha recommended) Cover up the bare soil (erosion control blanket, straw, hydromulch) 20 RESEARCH QUESTIONS Determine water quality benefits (sediment loss and turbidity) between granule and dissolved PAM when applied at the same rate (30 kg ha -1 ) with erosion control blanket? What about particle size in eroded sediments? Determine the loss of the applied PAM by runoff. 9

10 21 RUNOFF BOX TEST 1) No cover + No PAM (Bare soil) 2) Cover + No PAM (b) 3) Cover + Granular PAM (GPAM) 4) Cover + Dissolved PAM (DPAM) 30 kg/ha = 27 lb/ac Simulated heavy rainfall (9.7 cm/h 4 in/h) Consisted two rainfall events (50 min and 20 min) with a 30-min break between. Rainwater collection tank Rainfall nozzle Wind blocker 10

13 27 RESEARCH QUESTIONS Determine water quality benefits (sediment loss and turbidity) between granule and dissolved PAM when applied at the same rate (30with erosion control blanket? What about particle size in eroded sediments? Determine the loss of the applied PAM by runoff. 28 DETERMINING PARTICLE SIZE DISTRIBUTION Determines volumetric particle size distribution by measuring light scattering by particles in the sample. Detection range between 0.04 µm and 2 mm 13

14 29 TURBIDITY VS. PARTICLE SIZE No cover + No PAM Cover + No PAM Cover + GPAM Cover + DPAM Turbidity (NTU) y = 105,073x -1.5 r ² = 0.80*** D 50 (µm) Kang et al. (2014). Performance of Erosion Control Blanket and Polyacrylamide Under Simulated Rainfall. Journal of Environmental Quality (in review). 30 RESEARCH QUESTIONS Determine water quality benefits (sediment loss and turbidity) between granule and dissolved PAM when applied at the same rate (30with erosion control blanket? What about particle size in eroded sediments? Determine the loss of the applied PAM by runoff. 14

15 31 PAM LOSS BY RUNOFF 7 6 Cover + GPAM Cover + DPAM Cumulative PAM Loss (kg ha -1 ) mg/l y = 0.14x r ² = 0.99*** y = 0.94x r ² = 0.98*** Cumulative Runoff (cm) 1.3 mg/l 32 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Overall both PAM forms were effective enough in improving runoff water quality. Dissolved PAM applied one day before rainfall was effective in maintaining soil surface structure (thereby less runoff). Eroded sediment with the PAM treatment had lower turbidity and increased particle size ranges. PAM loss was minimal with the dissolved PAM. 15
