A question that came from my first blog post, specifically regarding a wastewater tertiary plant which is about to be built just outside of a public park in my town, is to ask the logical question… what will be the cause & affect that the construction of this site will have on the surrounding ecosystems? I have opted to use this report published in 1986 through the USEPA (United States Enviromental Protection Agency) & NSCEP (National Service Centre for Environmental Protection). This article is titled “Environmental Impacts of Advanced Wastewater Treatment at Ely, Minnesota”.
The report contains in test citations & a bibliography (pg. 27). The report is an academic peer-reviewed report as it has been reviewed by multiple referees before being approved for publication. They have been cited as experts in their respective fields (pg 8).
The author provides multiple tables & results, as well as a final report, although it is not specifically listed in the index. Therefore, I would conclude that this is an Academic, Peer-Reviewed Research Material.
