Buffalo Creek Fire Investigators CSU - Redente, Barbarick, Miller EPA - Brobst

Background Information Fire May 18, 1996 Burned 4806 hectares of Ponderosa Pine/Douglas Fir at 2,200 m elevation Severe Erosion following Thunderstorms in 1996 Stream Flow – Normal < 10CFS Steam Flow – Storm > 30,000CFS

Project Objectives Compare effects of single application of biosolids at 0,5,10,20,40 and 80 Mg/ha. Plant establishment Biomass production Species diversity Chemical quality of Plant and Soil Runoff quantity and quality

Experimental Design 24 treatment plots - 6 treatments/ 4 reps. of each Each plot 3m x m Use of Full size Application Equipment Single application of composted biosolids disced to depth of cm Seeded at 27 kg/ha (FS provided Seed)
