Results <br /> Quantitative Assessment Studies on Lake Okeechobee,FL. from the model were used to develop TMDLs for nutrients, <br /> Dr. Bierman conducted literature review,data assessment and to investigate the impacts of water withdrawal' <br /> and empirical modeling studies of nitrogen impacts on Lake scenarios proposed under a Water Supply Impact Study. <br /> Okeechobee.He was also a principal architect of the Lake Litigation Support for U.S.Department of Justice.Dr: <br /> Okeechobee Water Quality Model(LOWCZM),results of which were used by the State of Florida to develop a TMDL Bierman conducted transport and fate modeling for solidsand toxic chemicals discharged from the Hammond(IN) <br /> for phosphorus. He also developed a coupled hydrodynam- <br /> ic-salinity model for the Caloosahatchee Estuary,results of Sanitary District Plant to the Grand Calumet River.He <br /> which were used to manage freshwater discharges from prepared a written expert opinion report,was deposed,and <br /> Lake Okeechobee. provided technical review of opposing expert reports. <br /> Ecosystem Modeling Studies on Saginaw Bay,Lake Huron. Assessment of Mercury Dynamics and Nutrients in Florida <br /> Dr. Bierman developed a mass balance model for the lower Waters. Dr. Bierman.is conducting scientific assessment and <br /> food web that included nutrients,phytoplankton, <br /> review of mercury and sulfur dynamics,and nutrient <br /> TMDLs,in the Everglades,and of EPA-proposed numeric <br /> zooplankton,zebra mussels,and PCBs. Results were used to <br /> assess the relative water quality impacts of phosphorus nutrient criteria for Florida waters.Results will be used to <br /> loadings and zebra mussel dynamics on phytoplankton inform management decisions pertaining to mercury and <br /> production and PCB transport,fate,and bioavailability. nutrient TMDLs in south Florida. <br /> Expert Testimony for Arkansas Food Processor.
