How will the project be monitored?
Once completed, the group must achieve five successful years of measurable nutrient reduction in the water during a seven-year window, and will maintain upkeep on the marsh s vegetation, Graham said. Then, the wetlands will be turned over to the District.
Water samplers have a clear-cut technique for measuring how much pollution is siphoned out of the water as it passes through aquatic plants, Graham said.
Nitrogen and phosphorus levels are measured before water enters into the wetlands. Then, after working its way across the fields, and phosphorus and nutrients attach to plants or deposit into the soil, another sample is taken on the opposite end.

Friends, countrymen, everyone who has lived this masked life we ve been living for 14 months listen up. We have something to share. Damnit. There s no perfect way to do this. Just read and weep the happiest tears you ve ever wept. From the CDC:
If you are fully vaccinated, you can resume activities that you did prior to the pandemic. Fully vaccinated people can resume activities without wearing a mask or physically distancing, except where required by federal, state, local, tribal, or territorial laws, rules, and regulations, including local business and workplace guidance.
That s right. It s the news we ve been waiting for since March 2020: Fully vaccinated people can finally begin to return to a semblance of normal. Seeing your neighbors. Playing soccer. Buying toothpaste at CVS without breaking an anxious sweat. We don t know. It s been so long. What do we even do? Go hug someone. (Someone fully vaccinated. Only if you re fully vaccinated.) See your grandpa
