Re: Dr. of Oysters/Soil/Water opportunity The Pagan River of Virginia and its oysters are acquiring some powerful champions. This presents you with research and collaboration opportunities that are richer and more productive than you may have dared to even imagine. I ask you to imagine your desire now. And I ask that you place that desire in the context of the Pagan River and the consortium proposed in the letters to the Virginia Marine Resources Commission and Smithfield Packing that are published at http://www.ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/SaveVa80mmYr. Obviously there are significant assumptions and contingencies to be resolved. Whatever you contribute to resolving those quandaries will make the consortium more likely to be fruitful. Given confirmed plausibility of various scientific assumptions I will seek participation from various industries: steel, cement, water treatment, hog, and pulp. Should you desire that your response be published on that web site, only then I will do so. The potential topics for research funding are not just Calcium Carbonate fertilization of shellfish and sea-grass but include the following and more: 1) Iron effluent treatment for phosphate precipitation and fertility balancing 2) Calcium effluent treatment for phosphate precipitation and fertility balancing 3) Iron treatment of animal waste lagoons for bottom sealing 4) Iron treatment of animal waste lagoons for ammonia to nitrate species shift and increased nutrient salvage 5) Calcium treatment of animal waste lagoons for ammonia to nitrate species shift and increased nutrient salvage 6) Animal waste lagoon economic optimization and its effect on odor 7) Pre incident treatment of streams for increased resilience to waste lagoon accidents 8) Post incident treatment of streams for increased resilience to waste lagoon accidents 9) Animal waste lagoon management for nutrient balance of outputs, effects on stream resilience to waste lagoon accidents 10) Typical cost to earth moving construction imposed by erosion and water absorption and the effectiveness of avoiding those costs by white-wash (CaO) application. 11) shellfish recruitment strategies with economics in a nutrient balanced environment 12) theoretical limits to nutrient recovery by seafood harvest. 13) pulp polysaccharide waste recovery by CaO curdling and . pulp polysaccharide utility in CaCO3 dosing of phosphate surplus/CaCO3 deficient waters( very speculative ) for estuary phosphate precipitation and bottom flocculation and stabilization with effects on sea-grass 14) Effect of increased bottom soil cation exchange capacity % saturation with Ca++ on adsorption/de-adsorption of heavy metals and hence heavy metal availability in the water column( fresh and salt ) Sincerely, Russell P.
