| Abstract/Contents: | "Maintaining good surface water quality requires best management practices to be use for every stakeholder to minimize the pollutant loading to streams. The goal of this research at Kansas State University was to determine pesticide runoff from golf-course dominated watershed and to determine the effectiveness of detention ponds to manage pesticide runoff from an operating golf course. Findings include: Soil samples were taken around each fairway drain to determine the partitioning of pesticides between soil and water. Sediment samples from the bottom of the pond were also taken on an annual basis. Samples of the pond water were taken every month. There were seven locations in the pond where samples were taken at three different depths (25%, 50%, and 75% of the total depth of the water in the detention pond). Tests determined the concentration of glyphosate (Roundup), aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), which is a degradation product of glyphosate, and glufosinate, which is a product similar to Roundup. All of the tests conducted thus far had shown levels of glyphosate much lower than the limits listed in the glyphosate MSDS. The highest reading has been 22 ppb for AMPA. This is also below the risk levels from the MSDS for AMPA. There have not been any pesticides detected in any of the tested pond samples. The detention pond has done an excellent job in dilluting and breaking down the pesticide concentrations that enter it." |
