2 Evaluate the ability to reduce mercury and methyl mercury impacts through management of small portions of the river, namely fine grained deposits, intermixed gravel and bank sediments. Evaluate relative methylation potential of these areas Evaluate ability of DGTs to measure that potential and provide an indicator of benthic response Evaluate capping and in situ treatment effectiveness
3 Sediment mesocosms Overflow cells Porewater Measurements ~ Biological Structure Geochemical observations Voltammetry: Redox profile, ph Periodic, non destructive measurements made with microelectrodes at mm scale depth resolution Byproducts of microbial metabolism (Fe 2+, Mn 2+, HS ) measured in sediment porewater 20x8x10cm DGT porewater analysis: MeHg and THg DGT-depth profiler (Diffusive gradient in thin films) Practical method quantification limits of 10 ng/l for THg, 0.1 ng/l for MeHg
4 Organisms tubificids, active burrowing deposit feeders Analysis by voltammetry, DGT, post experiment coring Just completed data analysis underway Sample Treatments 11.8 Bank Control (no organisms) and populated mesocosms 11.8 FGCMD Control, autoclave control and duplicated populated mesocosms 11.8 Gravel Control, control with potting soil, populated with potting soil 3.5 Bank Control with triplicate populated mesocosms 3.5 Gravel Control with populated mesocosm
5 Total Hg in porewater Consistent levels with field conditions (e.g. 11.8, ng/l Profile assessment/variations and MeHg by treatment incomplete Redox conditions Oxygen depleted within 1 2 cm No significant difference between treatments although fine grained sediments often deeper due to greater bioturbation activity Strong manganese release and minimal iron/sulfide Moderate reduction in upper 10 cm Expected deeper oxic conditions in the field Post experiment sampling Coring analysis underway Organism recovery (good except in 11.8 gravel treatment) Body burden and lipid analysis undeway
6 To reduce methylation, control aqueous speciation (e.g. bioavailable HgS) or solid phase sorption of THg (sorbing amendments) Solid phase Aqueous phase e.g. GAC Non bioavailable Bioavailable CH 3 Hg + FeOOH OM FeS Hg(HS) 2 0 Hg 2+ K FeS HgS 0 Nano- HgS 2 SO 4 - HS
7 Substantial THg reductions ~50% Reductions in both control and amended with time Deposition of clean sediment? THg Concentration, C/C Surface Concentrations Baseline Week 4 Week 16 Week 50 Week 63 6/11 8/11 10/11 5/12 8/12 Control Amended 7
8 Substantial %MeHg reductions ~50% In addition to THg reductions Total Reductions in MeHg Factor of ~4 %MeHg ratioed to control %MeHg Surficial PW Concentrations Control Amended Baseline Week 4 Week 16 Week 50 Week 63 6/11 8/11 10/11 5/12 8/12 MeHg not detected weeks 4/16 Cooler temperatures? 8
9 Planorbidae MeHg Caenis MeHg MeHg (ng/g) Control Amended MeHg (ng/g) Control Amended Baseline Week 4 Week 16 Week 50 0 Baseline Week 4 Week 16 Week 50 This could also be normalized to control concentration each sample event This does not include Chironimid data 9

12 Baseline studies Further input into site conceptual model Test hypothesis that porewater measurements relate to organism uptake Baseline plus amendments Assess potential ability to manage Hg release and methylation Test hypothesis that management of small areas can give significant reductions in availability/mobility of Hg Placement and retention Applicability to the South River? Coupled with field measurements on concentration/flux Assessment of current status of Wertman Pond demonstration
