Title: REMEDIATION OF LEON WATER FLOOD, BUTLER COUNTY, KANSAS

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/819317· OSTI ID:819317

The Leon Water Flood site has undergone one season of soil amendments and growth of specialized plants meant to colonize and accelerate the remediation of the salt-impacted site. The researchers characterized the impacted soil as to chemistry, added soil amendments, and planted several species of seedlings, and seeded the scarred areas. After the first growing season, the surface soil was again characterized and groundcover was also characterized. While plant growth was quite meager across the area, soil chemistry did improve over most of the two scars.
