Lessoning Agriculture Field Water Runnoff Pollution
Agriculture
Agricultural activities are one of the main sources of water pollution for U.S. rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands and groundwater. Each year, farm operators apply more than 12 million tons of nitrogen fertilizer and 8 million tons of phosphorous fertilizer to cropland, some of which runs off into water sources.Manure is another important source of water contamination. It’s estimated that livestock produce up to 1 billion tons of manure each year, and runoff from farms and feedlots can be laden with sediments and disease-causing microorganisms. And many pesticides have no federally mandated limits for drinking water, which means utilities and their customers have no benchmark to know if the amount of a specific pesticide in water is safe.
Many water utilities in farm country are forced to treat water supplies to remove agriculture-related pollutants, often relying on expensive processes such as carbon treatment and ion exchange. Despite utilities' efforts, agricultural contaminants are detected in the drinking water served to millions of Americans each year.

Guest Scotty, from St. Louis - Electro-Phytoremediation Process 8-22-2016
Updated information after phone conversation with person planning phytoremediation project to use hemp to phytoextract toxins from soil.
Is this the video you mentioned? https://youtu.be/pVVWcd9bXrA the video below explains why not everyone should be able to do this UNTIL the system is proven safe.
I am not afraid of exposing corruption and shortsightedness everywhere I find it.
I'll be doing another radio interview this coming week sometime about the electrohemp system.
Lonnie Simpson is interviewer. She's anti nuke, understands plight of downwinders being exposed to contamination and all the health issues.
She mentioned the latest stuff I've pieced together that is wanted by Dept of Defense in re to uranium is dangerous for my safety. I'm not worried or scared and I'm going to share this to the world. (In addition to I have found a buyer in the health industry for the decontaminated material)
If you researched EPA suggestions you'd realize they have a goal of turning toxins into cash to offset remediation costs. My end disposal options do this in 2 or more ways. Instead of the costly glass infusion you mentioned.
https://www.epa.gov/risk/calculating-preliminary-remediation-goals-prgs |
FYI: Paul with Fungi Perfecti informed me: mushrooms will decontaminate nuke rads, but mushrooms still need to be picked up and disposed of [or else the contamination will be reintroduced back into the environment].
Here's the info I shared with the World Wide Hemp group I'm a part of.
https://facebook.com/HempEnvironmentalForum/?
Lonnie also clued me in on the grant writer who won't consider the organic remediation disposal vs nuke ind suggestions.
It should be pretty interesting interview. She's hip to the nuke ind tactics / shortsighted activist etc.
Fyi: i am not going to mention your name or location but I am going to expose what I feel is shortsighted science because you won't or haven't researched a true solution on this issue.
I'll send more info when we hash out an interview time and where to view it.
Peace,
Scotty

ElectroHemp Remediation Cost Comparison
Reference: Findings and Recommendations for the Remediation...
The costs of remediating a site will vary depending on the concentration and distribution of the contamination, the size and layout of the site, and the remedial actions implemented. Table 6 presents cost estimates associated with each remedial option presented above for 1 acre of contamination that is assumed to be 1 foot deep (1 acre foot). These costs are based on the remediation of undeveloped farmland.
Remediation costs could rise dramatically for existing development due to difficulties associated with the movement of soil around existing structures, trees, pools and decks. In addition, the remediation of properties with existing development would not have the benefits of economy of scale associated with undeveloped land. |
https://www.nj.gov/dep/special/hpctf/final/costs.html
|
$50,000- $100,000 Remedial Option Cost per acre-foot
- Low: $50,000 ÷ 43,560 = $1.15 /cuyd
- High: $100,000 ÷ 43,560 = $2.30 /cuyd

Remediation Terminology Definitions
Phytoremediation is defined by UNEP as the living green plants for in sutu removal, degradtion, and containment in soils, surface waters, and groundwater. |
Bioremediation is a process that uses mainly microorganisms, plants, or microbial or plant enzymes to detoxify contaminates in the soil and other environments. |
Heavy Metals are defined as the metals that have an atomic mass greater than 20 and are transition metals, metalloids, actinides, and lanthanides. |
Toxicity is the ability of a substance to cause a living organism to undergo adverse effects upon exposure. |

Phytoremediation Raft Remove Toxic Pollutants Water
The following photos are examples of where ElectroHemp Phytoremediation Raft designs can be designed to remove any number or combination of toxic pollutants found in water sources from Bridgetown and Westlake Landfill this would stop the pollution from entering the Public Water Supply, as pointed out by Alex Cohen.

Uranium Water Biofilter Remediation
ElectroHemp Phytoremediation Raft designs can be designed to remove any number or combination of toxic pollutants found in water sources |
Previously ElectroHemp highlighted how Natural biofilters for toxic metals can be used for Pb (Lead) Removal. This same technique can be used for Uranium (U) removal.
All that needs to be done is substitute the Raft and Plants that will extract Uranium and it's by products.
Example: A phytoremediation raft can be constructed with these biosorbing products: Tree Bark (Pinus, Acacia), Agro Wastes (Tea Leaves, Rice Hulls) Apple Wastes . With these type of hyperaccumulating plant species: Hemp, Kenaf, Sun Flowers, Mustard Grass, Rape, even some Grasses
To ensure all the Toxic Contamination comes in contact with the Raft and Plant Roots growing on the Phytoremediation Rafts that phytoextract the toxins. ElectroHemps uses Electrokinetics into the Remediation removal process. Electrokinetics draws toxins where directed.
ElectroHemps combines Electrokinetics, Phytoremediation, and Biofilters into the Remediation removal process. Key point: Electrokinetics draws toxins where directed. |
Natural biofilters for toxic metals
Phytoremediation Raft Infographic- Plants cycle water toxins when grown on Rafts |
a wide variety of agricultural and forestry by products have been used as biosorbents of toxic metals in a bid to develop biofilters for specific applications Electronic Journal of Biotechnology:
A floating phytoremediation raft constructed of: waste tea leaves, Pinus pinaster bark, Olea europea, Acacia nilotica bark. Which has these plant examples growing on it: Kenaf, Water Lettuce, Alligator Weed create a combination of Natural Solutions in the detoxification of Lead (Pb) from water.

Acacia nilotica bark serves as an adsorbent of toxic metals. Bark (1 g) when added to 100 ml of aqueous solution containing 10 mg ml-1 metal solution exhibited different metal adsorption values for different metals. The order of metal adsorption being Cr > Ni > Cu > Cd> As > Pb. A similar trend of metal adsorption was observed when the bark is reused (1strecycle) Cr > Ni > Cu > Cd > Pb and also in the column-sorption. In order to verify the metal removal property of A. nilotica bark, toxicity bioassay with Salix viminalis stem cuttings in hydroponic system augmented with Cd, Cr and Pb together with A. nilotica bark powder was carried out. The results of toxicity bioassay confirmed the metal adsorption property of the bark powder. The functions of toxicity studies include leaf area, root length and number of new root primordia produced per stump. The leaf area, root length and number of new root primordia increased considerably in the presence of A. nilotica bark. The order of metal toxicity for leaf area and new root primordial is Cd > Cr > Pb. However, for root length the order of metal toxicity is Cr > Cd > Pb. The metal budgets of the leaf and root confirmed that the bark powder had adsorbed substantial amount of toxic metals and thus, alleviates the toxicity imposed by the various tested elements (Prasad et al. 2001).
Quercus ilex L. phytomass from stem, leaf and root as adsorbent of chromium, nickel, copper, cadmium and lead at ambient temperature was investigated. The metal uptake capacity of the root for different metals was found to be in the order of: Ni > Cd > Pb > Cu > Cr; stem Ni > Pb> Cu > Cd > Cr and leaf Ni > Cd > Cu > Pb > Cr. The highest amount adsorbed was Ni (root > leaf > stem). Data from this laboratory demonstrated that Ni is mostly sequestered in the roots where concentrations can be as high as 7.30 nmol/g dry weight, when one year old seedlings were treated with Ni (2000 mg/l) in pot culture experiments, compared to 0.13 nmol/g dry weight, in the control. This proves that the root biomass of Q. ilex has the capacity for complexing Ni. Chromium exhibited the least adsorption values for all the three types of phytomass compared to other metals. The trend of adsorption of the phytomass was similar for nickel and cadmium i.e. root > leaf > stem. Desorption with 10 mM Na2 EDTA was effective (55-90%). Hence, there exists the possibility of recycling the phytomass. The biosorption results of recycled phytomass suggests, that the selected adsorbents are reusable (Prasad and Freitas, 2000).
Toxic Contamination and Remediation
The design and process of the ElectroHemp BioRad Toxic Contamination and Remediation system performs the steps addressed in this Phytoremediation Science Paper without having to Genetically Alter anything.
Accomplishing 3 of the 4 needed steps mentioned below.
Figure 4. Several factors would accelerate phytoremediation technology. The prime being: genetic engineering and production of transgenics having tolerance and metal accumulation ability for use in phytoremediation, facilitating the factors that would influence the metal bioaccumulation coefficient which inturn will depends upon heavy metal availability in the soil, absorption, transport and sequestration etc, and development of low cost technologies for chelate-induced hyperaccumulation. |

Kentucky quickly submits its hemp oversight plan to USDA
By BRUCE SCHREINER, December 20, 2018
In 2018, Kentucky farmers planted more than 6,700 acres (2,710 hectares) of hemp — more than twice last year’s production, according to the state’s agriculture department. More than 70 Kentucky processors are turning the plant into products. Those processors paid $7.5 million to Kentucky growers in 2017 to help supply hemp and reported $16.7 million in gross product sales, the state agriculture department said.
That’s barely a blip on the radar for Kentucky’s diversified agriculture sector.
But the state’s agriculture department received more than 1,000 applications from farmers and processors looking to participate in the 2019 hemp program. In another sign of hemp’s growing popularity, an informational and networking session in October in Elizabethtown drew about 750 farmers, processors, manufacturers and others interested in hemp, the department said.

RXleaf- Hemp Cleans Up Radioactive Soil
Many people get this. But don't realize:
1) what is the next step? What's a person do with a bunch of toxic plants?
2) what about the places in the soil that the hemp roots don't come in contact with the toxins? Meaning the toxins are still there.
3) 99% of any science papers all say: phytoremediation takes a long time. Who wants to wait, when the toxins need removed asap?
4) shouldn't all birds, animals, and humans be kept away from toxic Hemp plants? Fences don't stop birds, animals, or people.
5) lots of plants can be used for phytoremediation (400 that I'm aware of). Is it better to have a huge plant to dispose of with X amount of toxins or a smaller plant with the same X amount of toxins? ....
I agree Hemp is great, and is even greater when used in combination with the system our team has figured out that both speeds up the toxic removal and also disposes it safely eliminating all the hazards that so many don't realize.
It's not rocket science, it's phyto science. And the #ElectroHemp system also turns the hazardous waste infected plants into cash!
