Internship Objectives • gain experience with field
work, lab work and analyses of data
• characterize baseline water quantity and water quality data for an engineered pond-wetland system and a “natural” wetland system
• deploy sampling and monitoring instruments for storm sampling
Lab to Field
we set up sample boxes with sondes and deployed them
strategically throughout DeBordieu and Strawberry
Samplingwe collected grab samples bi-weekly
along flow paths in eight different locations between DeBordieu (pond-wetland) and Strawberry (“natural”)

Levelogger Installation
installed Solinist leveloggers in Cary, NC to monitor the flow of storm
water throughout the city
Lab Work • water sampling
procedure/handling• filtration of TSS/VSS
(suspended solids)• bacteria processing/analysis• filtration for nutrient analysis • standard curve/reagent for
nutrient analysis– creating a work list/file
designation • digestions for TKN and TKP
