The Development of a Nitrogen Control Plan for a Highly Urbanized Tidal Embayment

Abstract: Jamaica Bay is a small (50 km 2 ) tidal embayment located in Queens and Brooklyn, NY in the southwest corner of Long Island. The majority of the bay is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area overseen by the National Park Service. Over the last century the bay has been heavily impacted by man, and as a result suffers from poor water quality. There are two primary reasons for the poor water quality. The first is the four major water pollution control plants (WPCPs), operated by the New York City Department… Show more

“…The biogeochemical model is based on the Row‐Column Aesop (RCA) model, which consists of a water column component (Isleib et al, ) and a sediment diagenesis component (Brady et al, ; Di Toro, ; Testa et al, ). RCA includes two phytoplankton groups, particulate and dissolved forms of organic carbon and nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicon), and O 2 .…”

“…ROMS simulates water level, currents, temperature and salinity. The biogeochemical model is based on the Row-Column Aesop (RCA) model, and includes a watercolumn component (Isleib et al, 2007) and a sediment diagenesis component (Di Toro, 2001). RCA simulates pools of organic and inorganic nutrients, two phytoplankton groups, and dissolved oxygen concentrations (Testa et al, 2014).…”

“…The ROMS model was forced by river flows at the heads of tributaries (e.g., Figure b), by sea levels at the open boundary, and by fluxes of momentum and heat across the sea surface. The RCA biogeochemical model has a water column component [ Isleib et al ., ; Zhang and Li , ] as well as a two‐layer sediment diagenesis component [ Di Toro , ; Brady et al ., ; Testa et al ., ]. The model simulates two phytoplankton groups, pools of organic and inorganic nutrients, and both dissolved oxygen concentrations and oxygen equivalents associated with reduced carbon and sulfur [ Testa et al ., ].…”

“…The fourth term ( F vdiff ) represents the vertical diffusive flux across A2 ( K V is the vertical diffusivity). The fifth term (WCR) is water column biogeochemical O 2 uptake in V , and it includes algal and microbial respiration, as well as oxidation of reduced solutes (e.g., NH 4 + and sulfide) [ Isleib et al ., ; Zhang and Li , ]. The sixth term (SOD) is the sediment oxygen demand integrated over the water‐sediment interface (labeled as A3) [ Testa et al ., ].…”
