Phosphorus and Victor

Just had a great presentation from Paul Krauth who works in the Utah Division of Water Quality. I know, doesn't sound too riveting, but it was actually great to learn what Phosphorus is all about and how it will impact our decision on how to proceed with our waste water treatment process. Apparently the Teton River has been identified by the EPA to have elevated levels of Phosphorus. This can cause a situation called Eutrophication that can starve a river of oxygen by creating Algae Blooms. Not good for our finned friends who live in the river. What ever system we go with, the treatment of Phosphorus will certainly be a concern. The big question is what will the EPA's new requirements for Phosphorus treatment be?
