Hi All,
Has anyone had experience with assessing the impact of discharging biodisc
effluent (treated sewage) into the rooting zone of trees?
The treated effluent will contain 10mg/L suspended solids and 3.8mg/L
ammonia, and will have a BOD of 10mg/L. The output could be between 1-2 cubic
metres per day.
The treatment facility is at the top of a steep bank and the trees are below
it.
I know the proposal will impact the moisture content and chemical composition
of the soil, which could impact the mycorrhizal associations and soil fauna,
but will it have a significant detrimental impact on the trees?
Regards,
