Objective:

The Texas Tech Center for Water Law and Policy has completed all three project components of this study. This document comprises the final Annual Performance Report. The report is structured in relation to the three project work plans and pertains primarily to the phases performed within each project during this final year of the study.

Summary/Accomplishments (Outputs/Outcomes):

Project I: Water Law and Policy Clearinghouse

Results Project I:

Phase I: Collection and Categorization of Researched Information

During the past year, the Center for Water Law & Policy collected, categorized, and data-entered more than 1,800 additional documents and materials for inclusion in the Clearinghouse. This is on top of the approximately 1,200 individual documents and materials processed in the prior project years. In addition, during the past year, the Center re-reviewed every entry contained in the Clearinghouse to ensure the suitability of the documents for the Clearinghouse, eliminate duplications, appraise copyright obligations, and ensure proper categorization.

The documents and material contained in the Clearinghouse cover a broad array of information related to pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and other micropollutants in a variety of formats, including: federal, state and intergovernmental reports; peer reviewed and other professional articles; books and monographs; conference materials; online and print news stories; websites; and others.

In addition, the Center has collected and data-entered abstracts for every document contained in the database. For documents that did not have their own abstracts, the Center prepared abstracts (more than 500).

Where available, the Center also obtained the Document Object Identifier (DOI) numbers for every article and document with such an identifier and included it in the database. The DOI System is used to categorize content objects in the digital environment (e.g., the Internet) and to ensure that documents can be found regardless of where they may be moved to on the Internet. Hence, links in the Clearinghouse to online documents and material that have a DOI should never terminate as the DOI will always locate the document.

Phase II: Website Creation and Accessibility of the Collection

The Micropollutants Clearinghouse (http://www.micropollutants.org/) is a publically accessible resource website that allows visitors to easily and quickly search the database and its contents. Through a variety of user-friendly options, functions, and search engines, users can cull through the thousands of documents and find those that are most relevant to their inquiry. Where the copyright allows, users are given direct access to the actual document. A more complete description of the Clearinghouse and its structure can be found in 2009-2010 Annual Report.

The Clearinghouse was publically launched on May 13, 2010. However, over the past project year, the Center ran numerous tests on the Clearinghouse to ensure the functionality of the website and its database. Tests were also run to ensure that its three search engines were functioning properly and producing the requested results. The Center has employed three search engines on the Clearinghouse website to make the site more user-friendly to visitors with different objectives, capabilities, and search preferences. The three search engines are:

  • A "basic" Google search engine
  • An "advanced" Google search engine
  • An "advanced" internal search engine

The website also was designed to provide each type of user with an easy understanding and access to their preferred search engine.

In addition, the final report of project III was released in June 2, 2011. At that time, it was incorporated into the website under the "Study Report" tab.

Phase III: Publication of the Clearinghouse

The Micropollutants Clearinghouse was publically launched on May 13, 2010. At that time and throughout the summer of 2010, Center staff and the Texas Tech University Office of Communications and Marketing distributed news releases via major news outlets in the U.S., email, listservs, and online postings. In June 2011, upon the release of the Project III report, news releases were again distributed in the same manner. The chief targets of the media effort were researchers and academics working on related projects, relevant agency staff at state and federal levels, and the general public.

Project II: Research on Presence and Fate of Mixtures of Micropollutants in the Natural Environment

The report documenting the accomplishments and changes to the project will be addressed regarding each phase of the project.

Conclusions:

Phase I: Evaluate the presence of target micropollutants present in groundwater recharged through wastewater reclamation at a Lubbock Land Application Site

Phase 1a: Sample collection at the Lubbock Wastewater Reclamation Plant

Samples were collected quarterly from the Lubbock Wastewater Reclamation Plant (March, June, September, and December) and analyzed for estrogens (17[?]-estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), estriol (E3), and 17[?]-ethinylestradiol), triclosan, ibuprofen, and ciprofloxacin. Table 1a.1 contains the wastewater micropollutant data whereas Table 1a.2 contains the sludge micropollutant data. The project originally called for 1.5 years of sampling; however, we have exceeded the quarterly sampling and obtained four additional samples.

Phase 1b: Sample collection at the Lubbock Land Application Site

Samples were collected quarterly from the Lubbock Land Application Site (March, June, September, and December) and analyzed for estrogens (17[?]-estradiol (E2), estrone (E1), estriol (E3), and 17[?]-ethinylestradiol), triclosan and ibuprofen. Table 1b.1 contains the groundwater micropollutant data.

Phase II: Ascertain the quantity of micropollutants present in the soil at the wastewater application site

Soil sample collection was conducted in conjunction with the groundwater collection. Table 2.1 contains the soil samples collected for micropollutant analysis.
