A comparison of watershed nitrogen loading and watershed nitrogen exports from on-site wastewater treatment systems and centralized sewer systems in the North Carolina Coastal Plain
Iverson, Guy (East Carolina University, 2013)Elevated nitrogen (N) concentrations in groundwater may cause adverse effects to adjacent surface water bodies. In North Carolina, half of the residences use on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTS), yet they are typically ... -
Evaluation of the use of Wastewater Based Epidemiology as a Surveillance Tool and the Potential effects of Vaccines and Students Beliefs and Practices in Mitigating the Spread of COVID-19 Among Students at East Carolina University
White, Avian (East Carolina University, 2022-12-01)Worldwide, newly emerging and re-emerging infectious diseases and pathogens have led to increases in the number and frequency of disease outbreaks. Although these disease outbreaks are not new, increases in outbreaks have ... -
NITROGEN AND BACTERIA TREATMENT EFFICIENCY OF ONSITE WASTEWATER SYSTEMS IN THE PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA
Jernigan, Jordan (East Carolina University, 2023-12-01)Onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) are commonly used in rural areas for wastewater disposal. These systems can contribute elevated concentrations of nutrients and bacteria into water resources, resulting in potential ... -
Nitrogen Treatment by a Dry Detention Basin with Stormwater Wetland Characteristics

Responses in Baseflow Nitrogen Concentrations to Wastewater Management Approaches in the North Carolina Piedmont
Richardson, Jennifer (East Carolina University, 2023-01-04)Falls Lake is currently classified as impaired because of elevated chlorophyll-a and turbidity levels associated with excess nutrient inputs. Anthropogenic and natural inputs of nutrients, especially nitrogen (N), into ... -
Surface water and groundwater quality impacts at a swine CAFO with a capped lagoon system in eastern North Carolina
Richardson, Lauren (East Carolina University, 2023-01-26)Waste from concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) is traditionally stored in open lagoons and the liquid wastewater is periodically applied to nearby sprayfields. Capping lagoons with an impermeable cover have been ...
